Contribution

It defines new weak $M_{1}$-space variants and proves their properties, extending previous results and posing open questions.

Findings

Compact scattered spaces with $i(X) \,\leq 3$ are $s$-$m_{1}$-spaces

Strongly monotonically normal spaces are $s$-$m_{2}$-spaces

$\sigma$-$m_{3}$ spaces satisfy $t(X)\leq c(X)$

Abstract

We mainly introduce some weak versions of the $M_{1}$-spaces, and study some properties about these spaces. The mainly results are that: (1) If $X$ is a compact scattered space and $i(X)\leq 3$, then $X$ is an $s$-$m_{1}$-space; (2) If $X$ is a strongly monotonically normal space, then $X$ is an $s$-$m_{2}$-space; (3) If $X$ is a $\sigma$-$m_{3}$ space, then $t(X)\leq c(X)$, which extends a result of P.M. Gartside in \cite{CP}. Moreover, some questions are posed in the paper.
