We prove that every compact subspace of a hereditarily normal topological group is metrizable. To prove this statement we first show that a hereditarily normal topological group with a non-trivial convergent sequence has $G_\\delta$-diagonal. This implies, in particular, that every countably compact subset of a hereditarily normal topological group with a non-trivial convergent sequence is metrizable. Another corollary is that under the Proper Forcing Axiom, every countably compact subset of a hereditarily normal topological group is metrizable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-09-10T12:13:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54H11", "22A05", "54D15" ], "keywords": [ "hereditarily normal topological group", "non-trivial convergent sequence", "countably compact subset", "compact subspace", "proper forcing axiom" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.0847B" } } }
