Abstract or Additional Information
Given a space X, its boundary tightness tb(X) is defined in the same way as tightness if we substitute arbitrary sets by open sets in the definition of tightness. That is, tb(X)= min {kappa: for any open set U a subset of X we have the equality closure of U= the union of all closures of A where is a subset of U and |A|=<kappa.
This cardinal invariant shows how accessible the boundary of an open set is from a given open set. The spaces X with tb(X) =<omega will be called spaces with accessible boundaries of open sets. We will show that by studying the class of spaces with accessible boundaries of open sets we can obtain new information about kappa-Frechet--Urysohn spaces, W-spaces in the sense of Gruenhage and even spaces C_p(X).
