Abstract.
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a bitopological space and (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) its pairwise semiregularization. Then a bitopological
property P is called pairwise semiregular provided that (X,τ1,τ2) has the property P if and only
if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) has the same property. In this work we study pairwise
semiregular property of (i,j)-nearly Lindelöf, pairwise
nearly Lindelöf, (i,j)-almost Lindelöf, pairwise
almost Lindelöf, (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf and pairwise
weakly Lindelöf spaces. We prove that (i,j)-almost Lindelöf, pairwise almost Lindelöf, (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf and pairwise weakly Lindelöf are pairwise semiregular properties, on
the contrary of each type of pairwise Lindelöf space which are not
pairwise semiregular properties.

1. Introduction
Semiregular properties in topological spaces have been studied by
many topologist. Some of them related to this research studied by Mrsevic et
al. [14, 15] and
Fawakhreh and Kılıçman [3]. The purpose of this paper
is to study pairwise semiregular properties on generalized pairwise Lindelöf spaces, that we have studied in [16, 9, 17, 13], namely, (i,j)-nearly Lindelöf,
pairwise nearly Lindelöf, (i,j)-almost Lindelöf,
pairwise almost Lindelöf, (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf and
pairwise weakly Lindelöf spaces.
The main results is that the Lindelöf, B-Lindelöf, s-Lindelöf and p-Lindelöf spaces are not pairwise semiregular properties. While
(i,j)-almost Lindelöf, pairwise almost Lindelöf, (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf and pairwise weakly Lindelöf
spaces are pairwise semiregular properties. We also show that (i,j)-nearly Lindelöf and pairwise nearly Lindelöf spaces are
satisfying pairwise semiregular invariant properties.
2. Preliminaries
Throughout this paper, all spaces (X,τ) and (X,τ1,τ2) (or simply X) are always mean
topological spaces and bitopological spaces, respectively unless explicitly
stated. If P is a topological property, then (τi,τj)-P denotes an analogue of this property
for τi has property P with respect to τj, and p-P denotes the conjunction (τ1,τ2)-P∧(τ2,τ1)-P, i.e.,
p-P denotes an absolute bitopological analogue of P. As we shall see below, sometimes (τ1,τ2)-P⟺(τ2,τ1)-P (and thus ⇔p-P) so that it suffices to
consider one of these three bitopological analogue. Also sometimes τ1-P⟺τ2-P and thus P⟺τ1-P∧τ2-P, i.e., (X,τi) has property P
for each i=1,2.
Also note that (X,τi) has a property P⟺(X,τ1,τ2) has a property τi-P. Sometimes the prefixes (τi,τj)- or τi- will be replaced by (i,j)- or i- respectively, if there is no chance for confusion. By i-open cover of X, we mean that the cover of X by i-open sets in X; similar for the (i,j)-regular open cover of X etc. By i-int(A) and i-cl(A), we shall mean the
interior and the closure of a subset A of X with respect to topology τi, respectively. In this paper always i,j∈{1,2}
and i=j. The reader may consult [2] for the detail
notations.
The following are some basic concepts.
Definition 2.1**.**
[6, 19]** A subset S of a bitopological
space (X,τ1,τ2) is said to be (i,j)-regular open (resp. (i,j)-regular closed) if i-int(j-cl(S))=S (resp. i-cl(j-int(S))=S), where i,j∈{1,2},i=j. S is called
pairwise regular open (resp. pairwise regular closed) if it is both (1,2)-regular open and (2,1)-regular open (resp. (1,2)-regular closed and (2,1)-regular
closed).**
Definition 2.2**.**
[6, 20]** A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is said to be (i,j)-almost regular
if for each point x∈X and for each (i,j)-regular open set V containing x, there exists an (i,j)-regular open
set U such that x∈U⊆j-cl(U)⊆V. X is called pairwise almost regular if it is both (1,2)-almost regular and (2,1)-almost regular.**
In any bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2), the
family of all (i,j)-regular open sets is closed under finite
intersections. Thus the family of (i,j)-regular open sets in
any bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) forms a base
for a coarser topology called (i,j)-semiregularization of (X,τ1,τ2), which is defined as follows.
Definition 2.3**.**
[16]** The topology generated by the (i,j)-regular
open subsets of (X,τ1,τ2) is denoted by τ(i,j)s and it is called (i,j)-semiregularization of X. The topologies is pairwise semiregularization of
X if the first topology is (1,2)-semiregularization of X and the second topology is (2,1)-semiregularization of X.
If τi≡τ(i,j)s, then X is said to be
(i,j)-semiregular. (X,τ1,τ2) is
called pairwise semiregular if it is both (1,2)-semiregular
and (2,1)-semiregular, that is, whenever τi≡τ(i,j)s for each i,j∈{1,2} and
i=j. In other words, (X,τ1,τ2) is (i,j)-semiregular if the family of (i,j)-regular open
sets form a base for the topology τi.
It is very clear that τ(i,j)s⊆τi,
but it is not necessary τi⊆τ(i,j)s.
Thus with every given bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) there is associated another bitopological space (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) in the
manner described above (see [19]). We provide the following
example in order to understand the concept of pairwise semiregular spaces
clearly.
Example 2.1**.**
For the set of all real numbers R, let τu denotes the usual topology and τs denote the
Sorgenfrey topology, i.e., topology generated by right half-open intervals (see [21]). Then (R,τu,τs) is (τu,τs)-semiregular since τu=τ(τu,τs)s, i.e., τu generated by (τu,τs)-regular open subsets of R. (R,τu,τs) is also (τs,τu)-semiregular since τs=τ(τs,τu)s because any set E∈τs is the union of a collection of (τs,τu)-regular open sets in R. Thus (R,τu,τs) is pairwise semiregular.
Khedr and Alshibani [6] defined the equivalent definition of (i,j)-semiregular spaces as follows.
Definition 2.4**.**
A bitopological space X is said to be (i,j)-semiregular if
for each x∈X and for each i-open subset V of X containing x,
there is an i-open set U such that x∈U⊆i-int(j-cl(U))⊆V. X is
called pairwise semiregular if it is both (1,2)-semiregular
and (2,1)-semiregular.
Definition 2.5**.**
[1]** A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is said to be (i,j)-extremally disconnected if the i-closure of every j-open set is j-open. X is called pairwise
extremally disconnected if it is both (1,2)-extremally
disconnected and (2,1)-extremally disconnected.
Recall that a property P will be called bitopological property
(resp. p-topological property) if whenever (X,τ1,τ2) has property P, then every space homeomorphic
(resp. p-homeomorphic) to (X,τ1,τ2) also has
property P (see [8]). If a bitopological space X has bitopological (or p-topological) property P, one may
ask, does the pairwise semiregularization of X satisfies the property P also? Now we arrive to the concept of pairwise semiregular
property.
Definition 2.6**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a
bitopological space and let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) its pairwise semiregularization. A
bitopological property P is called pairwise semiregular
provided that (X,τ1,τ2) has the property P if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) has the property P.
Lemma 2.1**.**
[16]** Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a bitopological space and let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) its pairwise
semiregularization. Then
(a) τi-int(C)=τ(i,j)s-int(C) for every τj-closed set C;
(b) τi-cl(A)=τ(i,j)s-cl(A) for every A∈τj;
(c) the family of (τi,τj)-regular open sets of (X,τ1,τ2) are the same as the family of (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-regular open sets of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s);
(d) the family of (τi,τj)-regular closed sets of (X,τ1,τ2) are the same as the family of (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-regular closed sets of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s);
(e) (τ(i,j)s)(i,j)s=τ(i,j)s.
3. **Pairwise Semiregularization of Pairwise Lindelöf Spaces
**
Definition 3.1**.**
[5, 7]**. A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is said to be i-Lindelöf if the topological
space (X,τi) is Lindelöf. X is called Lindelöf if it is i-Lindelöf for each i=1,2. In other words, (X,τ1,τ2) is called Lindelöf if the topological
space (X,τ1) and (X,τ2) are
both Lindelöf.
Note that i-Lindelöf property as well as Lindelöf property is not
a pairwise semiregular property by the following example.
Example 3.1**.**
Let X be a set with cardinality 2c, where c=card(R). Let τ1 be a co-c topology on X consisting of ∅ and all subsets of X whose complements have cardinality at
most c and let τ2 be a cofinite topology on X. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is τ2-Lindelöf but not τ1-Lindelöf and hence not Lindelöf. Observe that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(1,2)s-Lindelöf and τ(2,1)s-Lindelöf since τ(1,2)s and τ(2,1)s are indiscrete topologies. Hence (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf.
Definition 3.2**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is called (i,j)-Lindelöf [5, 7] if for
every i-open cover of X there is a countable j-open subcover. X is called B-Lindelöf [5] or p1-Lindelöf [7] if it is both (1,2)-Lindelöf and (2,1)-Lindelöf.
An (i,j)-Lindelöf property as well as B-Lindelöf
property is not pairwise semiregular property by the following example.
Example 3.2**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a bitopological space as in
Example 3.1. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is not (τ1,τ2)-Lindelöf but it is (τ2,τ1)-Lindelöf and hence not B-Lindelöf. Observe
that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s)-Lindelöf and (τ(2,1)s,τ(1,2)s)-Lindelöf since τ(1,2)s and τ(2,1)s are
indiscrete topologies. Hence (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is B-Lindelöf.
Definition 3.3**.**
A cover U\of a bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is called τ1τ2-open [22] if U⊆τ1∪τ2. If, in addition, U contains at least one nonempty
member of τ1 and at least one nonempty member of τ2, it
is called p-open [4].
Definition 3.4**.**
[5]** A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is called s-Lindelöf (resp. p-Lindelöf) if
every τ1τ2-open (resp. p-open) cover of X has a
countable subcover.**
A p-Lindelöf property is not pairwise semiregular property by the
following example. Thus the s-Lindelöf property is also not pairwise
semiregular property.
Example 3.3**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a bitopological space as in
Example 3.1. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is not p-Lindelöf and hence not s-Lindelöf. Observe that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is p-Lindelöf and s-Lindelöf since τ(1,2)s and τ(2,1)s are indiscrete topologies.
4. Pairwise Semiregularization of Generalized Pairwise Lindelöf Spaces
Definition 4.1**.**
[16, 9, 13]** A bitopological space X is
said to be (i,j)-nearly Lindelöf (resp. (i,j)-almost Lindelöf, (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf) if for every i-open cover {Uα:α∈Δ} of X, there exists a countable subset {αn:n∈N} of Δ such that X=n∈N⋃i-int(j-cl(Uαn)) (resp. X=n∈N⋃j-cl(Uαn), X=j-cl(n∈N⋃(Uαn))). X is called pairwise
nearly Lindelöf (resp. pairwise almost Lindelöf, pairwise weakly
Lindelöf) if it is both (1,2)-nearly Lindelöf (resp. (1,2)-almost Lindelöf, (1,2)-weakly
Lindelöf) and (2,1)-nearly Lindelöf (resp. (2,1)-almost Lindelöf, (2,1)-weakly Lindelöf).**
Our first result is analogue with the result of Mršević et al. [15, Theorem 1].
Theorem 4.1**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2)
is (τi,τj)-nearly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Proof.
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a (τi,τj)-nearly Lindelöf and let {Uα:α∈Δ} be a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). For each x∈X, there exists αx∈Δ
such that x∈Uαx and since for each αx∈Δ,Uαx∈ τ(i,j)s, there exists a (τi,τj)-regular open set Vαx in (X,τ1,τ2) such that x∈Vαx⊆Uαx. So X=⋃x∈XVαx and hence {Vαx:x∈X} is a (τi,τj)-regular open cover of X. Since (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-nearly Lindelöf, there exists a countable subset of points x1,…,xn,… of X such that X=⋃n∈NVαxn⊆⋃n∈NUαxn. This shows that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Conversely, suppose that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf and let {Vα:α∈Δ} be a
(τi,τj)-regular open cover of (X,τ1,τ2). Since Vα∈τ(i,j)s for each α∈Δ,{Vα:α∈Δ} is a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s).
Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf, there
exists a countable subcover such that X=⋃n∈NVαn. This implies that (X,τ1,τ2)
is (τi,τj)-nearly Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.1**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise
nearly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf.
Proposition 4.1**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-nearly Lindelöf
if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Proof.
The sufficient condition is obvious by the definitions. So we need only to
prove necessary condition. Suppose that {Uα:α∈Δ} is a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). For each x∈X, there exists αx∈Δ
such that x∈Uαx. Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-semiregular, there
exists a τ(i,j)s-open set Vαx in (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) such that x∈Vαx⊆τ(i,j)s-int(τ(j,i)s-cl(Vαx))⊆Uαx. Hence X=⋃x∈XVαx and thus the family {Vαx:x∈X} forms a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-nearly Lindelöf, there exists a countable subset of points x1,…,xn,…
of X such that X=⋃n∈Nτ(i,j)s-int(τ(j,i)s-cl(Vαxn))⊆⋃n∈NUαxn. This shows that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.2**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is pairwise nearly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf.
From the Definition 2.6, if the property P is not
bitopological property but it satisfies the condition (X,τ1,τ2) has the property P if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) has the property P, then the property P will be called pairwise semiregular invariant property. The following
theorem prove that (i,j)-nearly Lindelöf as well as
pairwise nearly Lindelöf property satisfying the pairwise semiregular
invariant property since (i,j)-nearly Lindelöf and
pairwise nearly Lindelöf are not i-topological property [8] and bitopological property, respectively. This is because the
i-continuity and (i,j)-δ-continuity (resp.
continuity and p-δ-continuity) are independent notions (see [12]).
Theorem 4.2**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-nearly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is
(τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-nearly Lindelöf.
Proof.
It is obvious by Theorem 4.1 and Proposition 4.1.
Corollary 4.3**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise
nearly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is pairwise nearly Lindelöf.
Theorem 4.3**.**
[19]** If (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise semiregular, then (X,τ1,τ2)=(X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s).**
The converse of Theorem 4.3 is also true by the definitions.
Proposition 4.2**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise semiregular space.
Then (X,τ1,τ2) is (i,j)-nearly
Lindelöf if and only if it is i-Lindelöf.
Proof.
By Theorem 4.3, (X,τ1,τ2)=(X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). The
result follows immediately by Proposition 4.1.
Corollary 4.4**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise semiregular space.
Then (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise nearly Lindelöf
if and only if it is Lindelöf.
Unlike all types of pairwise Lindelöf properties, the (i,j)-almost Lindelöf, pairwise almost Lindelöf, (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf and pairwise weakly Lindelöf properties are
pairwise semiregular properties as we prove in the following theorems.
Theorem 4.4**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-almost Lindelöf.
Proof.
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf and let {Uα:α∈Δ} be a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). Since τ(i,j)s⊆τi, {Uα:α∈Δ} is a τi-open cover
of the (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf space (X,τ1,τ2). Then there is a countable subset {αn:n∈N} of Δ such that X=⋃n∈Nτj-cl(Uαn). By Lemma 2.1, we have X=⋃n∈Nτ(j,i)s-cl(Uαn), which implies (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-almost Lindelöf.
Conversely suppose that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s)* *is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-almost Lindelöf
and let {Vα:α∈Δ} be a τi-open cover of (X,τ1,τ2). Since Vα⊆τi-int(τj-cl(Vα)) and τi-int(τj-cl(Vα))∈ τ(i,j)s, we have {τi-int(τj-cl(Vα)):α∈Δ} is a τ(i,j)s-open
cover of the (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-almost Lindelöf space (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). So there is a countable
subset {αn:n∈N} of Δ such that X=⋃n∈N τ(j,i)s-cl(τi-int(τj-cl(Vαn))). By Lemma 2.1, we have X=⋃n∈N τj-cl(τi-int(τj-cl(Vαn)))⊆⋃n∈N τj-cl(Vαn). This implies
that (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.5**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise almost Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is pairwise almost
Lindelöf.
Note that, the (i,j)-almost Lindelöf property and the
pairwise almost Lindelöf property are both bitopological properties (see
[18]). Utilizing this fact, Theorem 4.4 and Corollary 4.5, we easily obtain the following corollary.
Corollary 4.6**.**
The (i,j)-almost Lindelöf property and the pairwise
almost Lindelöf property are both pairwise semiregular properties.
Proposition 4.3**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a (τi,τj)-almost regular space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf
if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Proof.
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf and let {Uα:α∈Δ} be a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). For each x∈X, there exists αx∈Δ
such that x∈Uαx and since Uαx∈ τ(i,j)s, there exists a (τi,τj)-regular open set Vαx in (X,τ1,τ2) such that x∈Vαx⊆Uαx.
Since (X,τ1,τ2)* *is (τi,τj)-almost regular, there is a (τi,τj)-regular open set Cαx in (X,τ1,τ2) such that x∈Cαx⊆τj-cl(Cαx)⊆Vαx. Hence X=⋃x∈XCαx and thus the family {Cαx:x∈X} forms a (τi,τj)-regular open cover of (X,τ1,τ2). Since (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf, there exists a countable subset of points x1,…,xn,… of X such that X=⋃n∈Nτj-cl(Cαxn)⊆⋃n∈NVαxn⊆⋃n∈NUαxn. This shows that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf. Conversely, let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) be a τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf and let {Uα:α∈Δ}
be a τi-open cover of (X,τ1,τ2). Since
Uα⊆τi-int(τj-cl(Uα)) and τi-int(τj-cl(Uα))∈
τ(i,j)s, {τi-int(τj-cl(Uα)):α∈Δ} is τ(i,j)s-open cover
of the τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf space (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). Then
there exists a countable subset {αn:n∈N} of Δ such that X=⋃n∈Nτi-int(τj-cl(Uαn))⊆⋃n∈Nτj-cl(Uαn). This implies that (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-almost Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.7**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise almost regular
space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise almost Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf.
Proposition 4.4**.**
Let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) be a (τ(j,i)s,τ(i,j)s)-extremally disconnected space. Then (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-almost Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Proof.
The sufficient condition is obvious by the definitions. So we need only to
prove necessary condition. Suppose that {Uα:α∈Δ} is a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). For each x∈X, there exists αx∈Δ
such that x∈Uαx. Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-semiregular, there
exists a τ(i,j)s-open set Vαx in (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) such that x∈Vαx⊆τ(i,j)s-int(τ(j,i)s-cl(Vαx))⊆Uαx. Hence X=⋃x∈XVαx and thus the family {Vαx:x∈X} forms a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-almost Lindelöf
and (τ(j,i)s,τ(i,j)s)-extremally disconnected, there exists a countable subset of
points x1,…,xn,… of X such that X=⋃n∈Nτ(j,i)s-cl(Vαxn)=⋃n∈Nτ(i,j)s-int(τ(j,i)s-cl(Vαxn))⊆⋃n∈NUαxn. This shows that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.8**.**
Let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) be a pairwise extremally disconnected space. Then (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is
pairwise almost Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf
Proposition 4.5**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise semiregular and (j,i)-extremally disconnected space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is (i,j)-almost Lindelöf if and
only if it is i-Lindelöf.
Proof.
By Theorem 4.3, (X,τ1,τ2)=(X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). The
result follows immediately by Proposition 4.4.
Corollary 4.9**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise semiregular and
pairwise extremally disconnected space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise almost Lindelöf if and only if it is Lindelöf.
Theorem 4.5**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-weakly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-weakly Lindelöf.
Proof.
The proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 4.4 by using the fact
that
[TABLE]
Thus we choose to omit the details.
Corollary 4.10**.**
A bitopological space (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise weakly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is pairwise weakly
Lindelöf.
Note that, the (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf property and the
pairwise weakly Lindelöf property are both bitopological properties (see
[18]). Utilizing this fact, Theorem 4.5 and Corollary 4.10, we easily obtain the following corollary.
Corollary 4.11**.**
The (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf property and the pairwise
weakly Lindelöf property are both pairwise semiregular properties.
Recall that, a bitopological space X is called (i,j)-weak P-space [13] if for each countable family {Un:n∈N} of i-open sets in X, we have j-cl(n∈N⋃Un)=n∈N⋃j-cl(Un). X is called
pairwise weak P-space if it is both (1,2)-weak P-space
and (2,1)-weak P-space.
Proposition 4.6**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a (τi,τj)-almost regular and (τi,τj)-weak P-space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-weakly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Proof.
Necessity: Let {Uα:α∈Δ} be a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). For each x∈X, there
exists αx∈Δ such that x∈Uαx and since Uαx∈ τ(i,j)s for each αx∈Δ, there exists a (τi,τj)-regular open set Vαx in (X,τ1,τ2)
such that x∈Vαx⊆Uαx. Since (X,τ1,τ2)* *is (τi,τj)-almost regular, there is a (τi,τj)-regular open set Cαx in (X,τ1,τ2)
such that x∈Cαx⊆τj-cl(Cαx)⊆Vαx. Hence X=⋃x∈XCαx and thus the family {Cαx:x∈X} forms a (τi,τj)-regular open cover of (X,τ1,τ2). Since (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-weakly Lindelöf and (τi,τj)-weak P-space, there exists a countable subset of points x1,…,xn,… of X such that X=τj-cl(⋃n∈NCαxn)=⋃n∈Nτj-cl(Cαxn)⊆⋃n∈NVαxn⊆⋃n∈NUαxn. This shows that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Sufficiency: Let {Uα:α∈Δ} be a τi-open cover of (X,τ1,τ2). Since Uα⊆τi-int(τj-cl(Uα)) and τi-int(τj-cl(Uα))∈
τ(i,j)s, {τi-int(τj-cl(Uα)):α∈Δ} is τ(i,j)s-open cover
of the τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf space(X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). Then
there exists a countable subset {αn:n∈N} of Δ such that X=⋃n∈Nτi-int(τj-cl(Uαn))⊆⋃n∈Nτj-cl(Uαn)=τj-cl(⋃n∈NUαn). This implies that (X,τ1,τ2) is (τi,τj)-weakly Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.12**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise almost regular and
pairwise weak P-space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is
pairwise weakly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf.
Proposition 4.7**.**
Let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) be a (τ(j,i)s,τ(i,j)s)-extremally disconnected and (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-weak P-space. Then (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-weakly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Proof.
The sufficient condition is obvious by the definitions. So we need only to
prove necessary condition. Suppose that {Uα:α∈Δ} is a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). For each x∈X, there exists αx∈Δ
such that x∈Uαx. Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-semiregular, there
exists a τ(i,j)s-open set Vαx in (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) such that x∈Vαx⊆τ(i,j)s-int(τ(j,i)s-cl(Vαx))⊆Uαx. Hence X=⋃x∈XVαx and thus the family {Vαx:x∈X} forms a τ(i,j)s-open cover of (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). Since (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-weakly Lindelöf, (τ(j,i)s,τ(i,j)s)-extremally disconnected and (τ(i,j)s,τ(j,i)s)-weak P-space, there exists a
countable subset of points x1,…,xn,… of X such that X=τ(j,i)s-cl(⋃n∈NVαxn)=⋃n∈Nτ(j,i)s-cl(Vαxn)=⋃n∈Nτ(i,j)s-int(τ(j,i)s-cl(Vαxn))⊆⋃n∈NUαxn. This shows that (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is τ(i,j)s-Lindelöf.
Corollary 4.13**.**
Let (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) be a pairwise extremally disconnected and pairwise weak P-space. Then (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is pairwise weakly Lindelöf if and only if (X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s) is Lindelöf.
Proposition 4.8**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise semiregular, (j,i)-extremally disconnected and (i,j)-weak P-space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is (i,j)-weakly Lindelöf if and only if it is i-Lindelöf.
Proof.
By Theorem 4.3, (X,τ1,τ2)=(X,τ(1,2)s,τ(2,1)s). The
result follows immediately by Proposition 4.7.
Corollary 4.14**.**
Let (X,τ1,τ2) be a pairwise semiregular,
pairwise extremally disconnected and pairwise weak P-space. Then (X,τ1,τ2) is pairwise weakly Lindelöf if and only
if it is Lindelöf.
