Abstract:
A combinatorial principle CECA is formulated and its equivalence with GCH + certain weakenings of $\Box _\lambda$ for singular $\lambda$ is proved. CECA is used to show that certain “almost point-$<\tau$” families can be refined to point-$< \tau$ families by removing a small set from each member of the family. This theorem in turn is used to show the consistency of “every first countable $T_1$-space with a weakly uniform base has a point-countable base.”References
