Definition
A space X is said to be a-realcompact if every maximal open cover has a countable subcover.
Property
- Suppose there exist a perfect mapping from X onto Y. X is a-realcompact iff. Y is a-realcompact.
- Every regular realcompact space is a-realcompact.
- A Tychonoff space is a-realcompact iff every ultrafilter of closed sets with cip is fixed.
