Abstract

Assuming a measurable cardinal exists, we construct a pair of discretely generated spaces whose product fails to be weakly discretely generated. Under the Continuum Hypothesis, a similar result is obtained for a pair of countable Fréchet spaces as well as for two compact discretely generated spaces whose product is not discretely generated. A somewhat weaker example is presented assuming Martin's Axiom for countable posets. Further, the class of strongly discretely generated compacta is shown to preserve discrete generability in products.
