Not normal topological spaces #

In this file we prove (see IsClosed.not_normal_of_continuum_le_mk) that a separable space with a discrete subspace of cardinality continuum is not a normal topological space.

Let s be a closed set in a normal space and d be a dense set. If the induced topology on s is discrete, then 𝒫 s has cardinality less than or equal to 𝒫 d.

Let s be a closed set in a separable normal space. If the induced topology on s is discrete, then s has cardinality less than continuum.

Let s be a closed set in a separable space. If the induced topology on s is discrete and s has cardinality at least continuum, then the ambient space is not a normal space.
