Abstract

A weaker variant of κ-compactness is introduced and investigated, namely, weak κ-compactness, where κ is a regular uncountable cardinal. It is shown that these two notions coincide when κ is a strongly compact cardinal. The existence of a weakly κ-compact extension for a Tychonoff space is proved. Weak κ-compactness can also be defined by demanding that a certain equivalence holds between certain classes of Baire measures. Finally, κ-measure-compact spaces are introduced and studied.
