Saturated classes of bases
Abstract
In this paper we consider classes consisting of pairs , where
is a base of cardinality
for the open subsets of a space
. Such classes are called classes of bases. For such a class
we define the notion of a universal element: an element
of
is said to be universal in
if for every
there exists an embedding
of
into
such that
. We define also the notion of a (weakly) saturated class of bases similar to that of a saturated class of spaces in [2] and a saturated class of subsets in [3]. For the (weakly) saturated classes of bases we prove the universality property (that is, in any such class there exist universal elements) and the intersection property (that is, the intersection of not more than
many saturated classes of bases is also saturated). We give some relations between these classes and the classes of spaces and classes of subsets. Furthermore, we give a method of construction of saturated classes of bases by saturated classes of subsets.
Also, we consider classes consisting of triads , where
is a subset of a space
and
is a set of open subsets of
such that the set
is a base for the open subsets of the subspace
. Such classes are called classes of p-bases (positional bases). For such classes we also define the notion of a universal element and the notion of a saturated class of p-bases and prove the universality and the intersection properties. Some examples are given.
