Abstract

We use Ramseyan partition relations to characterize:

$\bullet$ the classical covering property of Hurewicz;

$\bullet$ the covering property of Gerlits and Nagy;

$\bullet$ the combinatorial cardinal numbers $\mathfrak{b}$ and $\mathsf{add}({\mathcal M})$.

Let $X$ be a $\mathsf T_{3\frac{1}{2}}$-space. In \cite{KS2} we showed that ${\mathsf{C}}_{\rm p}(X)$ has countable strong fan tightness as well as the Reznichenko property if, and only if, all finite powers of $X$ have the Gerlits–Nagy covering property. Now we show that the following are equivalent:

1. ${\mathsf{C}}_{\rm p}(X)$ has countable fan tightness and the Reznichenko property.

2. All finite powers of $X$ have the Hurewicz property.

We show that for ${\mathsf{C}}_{\rm p}(X)$ the combination of countable fan tightness with the Reznichenko property is characterized by a Ramseyan partition relation. Extending the work in \cite{KS2}, we give an analogous Ramseyan characterization for the combination of countable strong fan tightness with the Reznichenko property on ${\mathsf{C}}_{\rm p}(X)$.
