Tall" ], "categories": [ "math.GN" ], "abstract": "This note provides a correct proof of the result claimed by the second author that locally compact normal spaces are collectionwise Hausdorff in certain models obtained by forcing with a coherent Souslin tree. A novel feature of the proof is the use of saturation of the non-stationary ideal on \\omega_1, as well as of a strong form of Chang's Conjecture. Together with other improvements, this enables the characterization of locally compact hereditarily paracompact spaces as those locally compact, hereditarily normal spaces that do not include a copy of \\omega_1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-15T02:50:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54A35", "54D20", "54D45", "03E35", "03E50", "03E55", "03E57" ], "keywords": [ "locally compact spaces", "paracompactness", "locally compact hereditarily paracompact spaces", "coherent souslin tree", "locally compact normal spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
