A Note on Monotonically Metacompact Spaces

Abstract:

      In the first part of this note, we mainly prove that monotone metacompactness is hereditary with respect to closed subspaces and open $F_{\sigma}$-subspaces. For a generalized ordered (GO)-space $X$, we also show that $X$ is monotonically metacompact if and only if its closed linearly ordered extension $X^{*}$ is monotonically metacompact. We also point out that every non-Archimedean space $X$ is monotonically ultraparacompact. In the second part of this note, we give an alternate proof of the result that McAuley space is paracompact and metacompact.
