Weight Of A Topological Space

From Encyclopediaofmath

2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 54A25 [MSN][ZBL]

The smallest cardinal number which is the cardinality of an open base of a topological space. The weight, together with the cardinality, is the most important cardinal invariant of a topological space.

A space satisfies the second axiom of countability if and only if it has countable weight.
