Title:

Some open problems in set-theoretic topology

 

Abstract: I will discuss several open problems in set-theoretic topology and one or two recently solved problems. Among the problems that I "plan" to discuss are:

  1. The Dowker Space problem--Is there a normal space X for which X x I is not normal, where I is the closed unit interval.

    This problem was recently solved.

  2. The Box Product problem -- Is the countable box product of w +1 normal?
  3. A Cp problem.

 

Time: Wednesday, Dec 2, 1998

 

Reception at 3:30 in the common room on the 3rd floor of Chauvenet Hall.
