Abstract:

Results are obtained which give an upper bound on the number of compact subsets of a topological space in terms of other cardinal invariants. The countable version of the main theorem states that an ${\aleph _1}$-compact space with a point-countable separating open cover has at most ${2^{{\aleph _0}}}$ compact subsets.
