A type of [[topological space]]. Let $X$ be a topological space, let $Y$ be a subspace of $X$ and let $\tau$ and $\lambda$ be infinite [[cardinal]]s. The space $Y$ is said to be $\tau$-monolithic in $X$ if for each $A \subseteq Y$ such that $\mathrm{card}(A) \le \tau$ the closure $[A]$ in $X$ is a compactum of [[Weight of a topological space|weight]] $\le \tau$. The space $X$ $\tau$-suppresses the subspace $Y$ if it follows from $\lambda \ge \tau$, $A \subseteq Y$ and $\mathrm{card}(A) \le \exp \tau$ that there exists an $A' \subseteq X$ for which $[A'] \supseteq A$ and $\mathrm{card}(A') \le \lambda$. The space $X$ is said to be a Dante space if for each infinite cardinal $\tau$ there exists an [[ Everywhere-dense set|everywhere-dense subspace]] $Y$ in $X$ which is both monolithic in itself and is $\tau$-suppressed by $X$. The class of Dante spaces contains the class of [[Dyadic compactum|dyadic compacta]].
