Tightness in products of fans and pseudo-fans. (English) Zbl 0867.54001

Summary: Give \(\kappa\) the discrete topology and \(\omega+1\) the order topology. The \(\kappa\)-fan \(F_\kappa\) is the quotient space obtained by identifying the nonisolated points of \(\kappa\times (\omega+1)\) to a point \(\infty\). We investigate the tightness of products of the form \(F_\kappa\times F_\lambda\), where \(\lambda\leq\kappa\). Some of our results are \(t(F_\kappa\times F_\lambda)\leq \lambda^\omega\), \(t^+(F_{\aleph_\omega}\times F_{\aleph_\omega})\leq \aleph_\omega\), and a new connection between the tightness of \(F_\kappa\times F_\lambda\) and the failure of \(\leq \kappa \text{-cwH}\) in first countable \(< \kappa\text{-cwH}\) spaces.
