Abstract

We prove that for a compact Hausdorff space X, if λc(X)<w(X) for every infinite cardinal λ<w(X) and λc(X)<cf(w(X)) for every infinite cardinal λ<cf(w(X)), then Tikhonov cube [0,1]w(X) is a continuous image of X, in particular the cardinality of X is just 2w(X). As an application of this result, we consider elementary submodel spaces and improve Tall's result in [17].
