A conjecture on closed discrete subset

123 Views Asked by At

I am struggling with this old problem:

Let $X$ satisfy countable chain condition(abbreviated as CCC) and $X$ has a regular $G_\delta$-diagonal. Then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $\mathfrak c$.

$X$ has a regular $G_\delta$-diagonal iff there is a collection of open sets of $X^2$, say $\{U_n: n\in N\}$, such that $\Delta=\bigcap\{\overline{U_n}: n \in N\}$, where $\Delta=\{(x,x): x \in X\}$.

Note that the question is answered; however I hope to get new proof.

By certain effort, If $|X|>\mathfrak c$, we can get an uncountable closed discrete subset $S$ of $X$, and for any point $x \in X$, there exists an open set $U_x$ such that $\overline{U_x} \cap S$ has at most one point.

I would like to know whether the following conjecture is right, wrong, or neither:

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff space. If $S \subset X$ is an uncountable closed discrete subset of $X$, and for any point $x \in X$, there exists an open set $U_x$ such that $\overline{U_x} \cap S$ has at most one point. Then could we obtain an uncountale collection of disjoint open sets in $X$?

Thanks for your any help.

Not necessarily. Let $X$ be the square of the Sorgenfrey line, $S=\{(x,-x):X\in\mathbb R\}$. We have $c(X)\le\omega$.
