On Manes' countably compact, countably tight, non-compact spaces
We give a straightforward topological description of a class of spaces that are separable, countably compact, countably tight and Urysohn, but not compact or sequential. We then show that this is the same class of spaces constructed by Manes [Monads in topology, Topology Appl. 157 (2010), 961--989] using a category-theoretical framework.
