Abstract

A combinatorial principle CECA is formulated and its equivalence with GCH + certain weakenings of □λ for singular A is proved. CECA is used to show that certain "almost point-< τ" families can be refined to point-< T families by removing a small set from each member of the family. This theorem in turn is used to show the consistency of "every first countable Ti-space with a weakly uniform base has a point-countable base."
