On localization of the Menger property

In this paper we introduce and study the local version of the Menger property, namely locally Menger property (or, locally Menger space). We explore some preservation like properties in this space. We also discuss certain situations where this local property behaves somewhat differently from the classical Menger property. Some observations about the character of a point, network weight and weight in this space are also investigated carefully. We also introduce the notion of Menger generated space (in short, MG-space) and make certain investigations in these spaces. Several topological observations on the decomposition and the remain- der of locally Menger spaces are also discussed.
