An observation on spaces with a zeroset diagonal

We say that a space $X$ has the discrete countable chain condition (DCCC for short) if every discrete family of nonempty open subsets of $X$ is countable. A space $X$ has a zeroset diagonal if there is a continuous mapping $f X^2 \rightarrow[0,1]$ with $\Delta_X=f^{-1}(0)$, where $\Delta_X=\{(x,x)\c...

description We say that a space $X$ has the discrete countable chain condition (DCCC for short) if every discrete family of nonempty open subsets of $X$ is countable. A space $X$ has a zeroset diagonal if there is a continuous mapping $f X^2 \rightarrow[0,1]$ with $\Delta_X=f^{-1}(0)$, where $\Delta_X=\{(x,x)\colon x\in X\}$. In this paper, we prove that every first countable DCCC space with a zeroset diagonal has cardinality at most $\mathfrak c$.
