On a Katuta-Junnila Problem

Shouli Jiang and Fazheng Yin

Abstract

We consider the Katuta-Junnila problem.
begin{enumerate}
item
Is a space metacompact if every directed open cover of the space has a
cushioned refinement?
item
Is a space submetacompact if every directed open cover of the space
has a $sigma$-cushioned refinement?

We summarize some previous known partial results and present an affirmative answer
to problem 1 in the class of strongly first countable spaces.

Keywords
metacompact, submetacompact, $(sigma)$-closure-preserving, $(sigma$)-cushioned.
