Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a weakly P-space which is a generalization of a P-space and prove that for any covering map f : $X{\rightarrow}Y$, X is a weakly P-space if and only if Y is a weakly P-space. Using these, we investigate the minimal basically disconnected cover of weakly P-spaces and their products.
