@AlessandroCodenotti basically I was wondering if in literature there exists a proof that a metrizable space is realcompact iff its of non-measurable cardinality

Gillman and Jerison list only one direction and I have a proof of the other using a result of Hirata

You could post it as a reference request question on MO, if it is written down somewhere people there will know

Q: A metrizable space is realcompact iff it has non-measurable cardinality?

JakobianA space is realcompact if its a closed subspace of an arbitrary product of real lines, with product topology. Its known that a discrete space is realcompact if and only if it has non-measurable cardinality. The proof of this result basically follows trivially from definitions. Its also known that...

A: A metrizable space is realcompact iff it has non-measurable cardinality?

JakobianYes, its true. Note the following result from the article The sup = max problem for the extent and the Lindelöf degree of generalized metric spaces, II by Hirata: Theorem. (corollary 2.3) Let $X$ be a semi-stratifiable space with $e(X) = \kappa$, where $\text{cf}(\kappa) > \omega$. Assume that $\...

Q: Reference: If $X$ is metrizable, then $X$ is realcompact iff $|X|$ is non-measurable

JakobianI know that a discrete space is realcompact iff its non-measurable and I've been able to prove that the same holds for metrizable spaces here using the following result of Hirata. Theorem. (corollary 2.3) Let $X$ be a semi-stratifiable space with $e(X) = \kappa$, where $\text{cf}(\kappa) > \omeg...

Hi Jakobian - I have posted this here mainly so that there is at least some content in the room (to prevent it from freezing).
But it definitely falls under the topic of the room. (Unfortunately, I do not know much about realcompact spaces - so I won't be able to help.)
Maybe you came here to post about the same thing.... :-)

No I was just wondering what you were doing

@MartinSleziak so apparently, set theorists call those cardinals $\sigma$-measurable, and not measurable. A cardinal is $\sigma$-measurable iff its greater than the least measurable cardinal.
