Abstract

It is a well known open problem if, in View the MathML sourceZFC, each compact space with a small diagonal is metrizable. We explore properties of compact spaces with a small diagonal using elementary chains of substructures. We prove that ccc subspaces of such spaces have countable ππ-weight. We generalize a result of Gruenhage about spaces which are metrizably fibered. Finally we discover that if there is a Luzin set of reals, then every compact space with a small diagonal will have many points of countable character.
