Addition theorems for dense subspaces
We study topological spaces that can be represented as the union of a finite collection of dense metrizable subspaces. The assumption that the subspaces are dense in the union plays a crucial role below. In particular, Example 3.1 shows that a paracompact space which is the union of two dense metrizable subspaces need not be a -space. However, if a normal space is the union of a finite family of dense subspaces each of which is metrizable by a complete metric, then is also metrizable by...
