Tychonoff plank

In topology, the Tychonoff plank is a topological space defined using ordinal spaces that is a counterexample to several plausible-sounding conjectures. It is defined as the topological product of the two ordinal spaces and , where is the first infinite ordinal and the first uncountable ordinal. The deleted Tychonoff plank is obtained by deleting the point .

Definition
Let \Omega be the set of ordinals which are less than or equal to \omega and \Omega_1 the set of ordinals less than or equal to \omega_1 . The Tychonoff plank is defined as the set \Omega \times \Omega_1 with the product topology. The deleted Tychonoff plank is the subset S = \Omega \times \Omega_1 \setminus \{ (\omega,\omega_1) \} , where S is the plank with a corner removed. ==Properties==
Properties
The Tychonoff plank is a compact Hausdorff space and is therefore a normal space. However, the deleted Tychonoff plank is non-normal. Therefore the Tychonoff plank is not completely normal. This shows that a subspace of a normal space need not be normal. The Tychonoff plank is not perfectly normal because it is not a Gδ space: the singleton \{\infty\} is closed but not a Gδ set. The Stone–Čech compactification of the deleted Tychonoff plank is the Tychonoff plank. == See also ==
