Abstract
Metrizability criteria for compact spaces are both simpler and more original than in the general case. It is worth pointing out that there exists a variety of very diverse metrizability theorems related to compact spaces. It is possible to consider the question of metrizability of compact spaces as a small part of the theory of cardinal invariants of such spaces (see the following section). This part, however, is so special and important that it deserves a separate treatment.
