$\beta$-Menger and $\beta$-Hurewicz spaces

Abstract

Recently, some papers on weaker forms of classical covering properties of Hurewicz and Menger have been published. In this paper, using the covers formed by $\beta $-open sets, we introduce and study the properties of $\beta $-Menger and $\beta $-Hurewicz topological spaces. We give counterexamples that show the interrelations between those properties. The subject of our investigation is also the preservation of $\beta $-Menger and $\beta $-Hurewicz properties under subspaces, products, and mappings.
