A remark on a theorem of Solecki

Comment.Math.Univ.Carolinae 46,1 (2005) 43-54.

Abstract:S. Solecki proved that if $\Cal F$ is a system of closed subsets of a complete separable metric space $X$, then each Suslin set $S\subset X$ which cannot be covered by countably many members of $\Cal F$ contains a $\boldsymbol G_{\delta }$ set which cannot be covered by countably many members of $\Cal F$. We show that the assumption of separability of $X$ cannot be removed from this theorem. On the other hand it can be removed under an extra assumption that the $\sigma $-ideal generated by $\Cal F$ is locally determined. Using Solecki's arguments, our result can be used to reprove a Hurewicz type theorem due to Michalewski and Pol, and a nonseparable version of Feng's theorem due to Chaber and Pol.

Keywords: Solecki's theorem, Suslin set, $\sigma $-ideal
