A subclass of the class MOBI
We present a direct constructive proof of full normality for a class of spaces (locales) that includes, among others, all metrizable ones.
We define combinatorial structures which we refer to as flat morasses, and use them to construct a Lindelöf space with points of cardinality , consistent with GCH. The construction reveals, it is hoped, that flat morasses are a tool worth adding to the kit of any user of set theory.
We get the following result. A topological space is strongly paracompact if and only if for any monotone increasing open cover of it there exists a star-finite open refinement. We positively answer a question of the strongly paracompact property.
