Weakly infinite-dimensional space

A topological space $X$ such that for any infinite system of pairs of closed subsets $(A_i,B_i)$ of it, $$ A_i \cap b_i = \emptyset,\ \ i=1,2,\ldots $$ there are partitions $C_i$ (between $A_i$ and $B_i$) such that $\cap C_i = \emptyset$. An infinite-dimensional space which is not weakly infinite dimensional is called strongly infinite dimensional. Weakly infinite-dimensional spaces are also called $A$-weakly infinite dimensional. If in the above definition it is further required that some finite subfamily of the $C_i$ have empty intersection, one obtains the concept of an $S$-weakly infinite-dimensional space.

Comments

In addition to the above, $A$-weakly stands for Aleksandrov weakly, and $S$-weakly for Smirnov weakly. There is also the obsolete notion of Hurewicz-weakly infinite-dimensional space. Cf. the survey [a1].

To avoid ambiguity in the phrase "infinite-dimensional space" , the space $X$ could be required to be metrizable, cf. [a2].
