Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the open-open game of uncountable length. We introduce a cardinal number 𝜇 ( 𝑋 ) , which says how long the Player I has to play to ensure a victory. It is proved that 𝑐 ( 𝑋 ) 𝜇 ( 𝑋 ) 𝑐 ( 𝑋 ) + . We also introduce the class 𝒞 𝜅 of topological spaces that can be represented as the inverse limit of 𝜅 -complete system { 𝑋 𝜎 , 𝜋 𝜎 𝜌 , Σ } with 𝑤 ( 𝑋 𝜎 ) 𝜅 and skeletal bonding maps. It is shown that product of spaces which belong to 𝒞 𝜅 also belongs to this class and 𝜇 ( 𝑋 ) 𝜅 whenever 𝑋 𝒞 𝜅 .
