Abstract

In this note we show that quotients of countably based spaces (qcb spaces) and topological predomains, as introduced by M. Schröder and A. Simpson, are not closed under sobrification. As a consequence, replete topological predomains need not be sober, that is, in general, repletion is not given by sobrification. Our counterexample also shows that a certain tentative ‘equaliser construction’ of repletion fails for qcb spaces.

Our results also extend to the more general class of core compactly generated spaces.
