Let τ be any cardinal number. Edwin Hewitt [3] has defined a topological space (X, J) to be τ-maximal if δ(J) ≥ τ and δ(J') < τ whenever J' is a topology for X which is strictly stronger that J (Δ denotes dispersion character, the least cardinality of a nonempty open set). The notion of an ℵ0-maximal space was introduced independently by Katětov [4].
