Normal subspaces in products of two ordinals
Let λ be an ordinal number. It is shown that normality, collectionwise normality and shrinking are equivalent for all subspaces of .

One of the most celebrated results in the theory of hyperspaces says that if the Vietoris topology on the family of all nonempty closed subsets of a given space is normal, then the space is compact (Ivanova-Keesling-Velichko). The known proofs use cardinality arguments and are long. In this paper we present a short proof using known results concerning Hausdorff uniformities.
We show that a compact space has a dense set of points if it can be covered by countably many Corson countably compact spaces. If these Corson countably compact spaces may be chosen to be dense in , then is even Corson.
We provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which a generalized ordered topological product (GOTP) of two GO-spaces is monotonically Lindelöf.
We introduce the notion of a strongly Whyburn space, and show that a space is strongly Whyburn if and only if is Whyburn. We also show that if is Whyburn for any Whyburn space , then is discrete.
