Counting topologies. (English) Zbl 1228.54003

For an infinite set \(X\), the author computes the number of topologies on \(X\) which are \(P\), where \(P\) is some combination of compact (without \(T_2\)), connected, \(T_1\), \(T_2\), \(T_4\), \(T_5\).
E.g. he shows that this number is \(2^{2^{|X|}}\) if \(P\) is connected ore compact ore \(T_2\), but only \(2^{|X|}\) if \(P\) is compact and \(T_2\) (\(|X|\) is the cardinal number of \(X\)).
