Abstract:

Theorem 2.2 lists properties equivalent to left separated spaces in the class of ${T_1}$ with point-countable bases, with examples preventing plausible additions to this list. For example, $X$ is left iff $X$ is $\sigma$-weakly separated or $X$ has a closure preserving cover by countable closed sets, but $X$ is left separated does not imply that $X$ is $\sigma$-discrete. Theorem 2.2 is used to show that the following reflection property holds after properly collapsing a supercompact cardinal to ${\omega _2}$: If $X$ is a not $\sigma$-discrete metric space, then $X$ has a not $\sigma$-discrete subspace of cardinality less than ${\omega _2}$. Similar reflection properties are shown true in some models and false in others.
