The space ω₁ #

The space ω₁ with the order topology, a source of many counterexamples in general topology. We follow [Mun00], where this space is denoted S_Ω.

Main theorem: Iio ω₁ × Iic ω₁ is not normal.

With this result, the counterexamples below can be proven for topological spaces X and Y in Type (u+1). We use Shrink to build versions of Iio.{1} ω₁ and Iic.{1} ω₁ in every universe and make the results more general.

Iio ω₁ × Iic ω₁ embeds into the compact Hausdorff space Iic ω₁ × Iic ω₁, shrunk.
