Wide Scattered Spaces and Morasses

We show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that 2ω is arbitrarily large and every sequence s = 〈sα : α < ω2〉 of infinite cardinals with sα ≤ 2ω is the cardinal sequence of some locally compact scattered space.

The Priestley Separation Axiom for Scattered Spaces

Let R be a quasi-order on a compact Hausdorff topological space X. We prove that if X is scattered, then R satisfies the Priestley separation axiom if and only if R is closed in the product space X × X. Furthermore, if X is not scattered, then we show that there is a quasi-order on X that is closed in X × X but does not satisfy the Priestley separation axiom. As a result, we obtain a new charac...

Scattered, Hausdorff-reducible, and hereditarily irresolvable spaces

We show that a topological space is hereditarily irresolvable if and only if it is Hausdorff-reducible. We construct a compact irreducible T1-space and a connected Hausdorff space, each of which is strongly irresolvable. Furthermore, we show that the three notions of scattered, Hausdorff-reducible, and hereditarily irresolvable coincide for a large class of spaces, including metric, locally com...
