Lindelöfness of lexicographic products of GO-spaces (Q2140623)

Let \(<\) be a linear order on a set \(X\) with \(|X|\geq2\). The usual order topology \(\lambda_{X}\) is generated by \(\{(a,\rightarrow): a\in X\}\cup\{(\leftarrow, b): b\in X\}\) as a subbase. A LOTS \(X\) means the triple \((X,<,\lambda_{X})\). The main results of this paper are followings. \textbf{Theorem 2.10} Let \(\gamma\) be any ordinal. Assume that for each \(\alpha<\gamma\), \(X_{\alpha}\) is a Lindelöf GO-space, and for each \(\alpha<\gamma\), \(X_{\alpha}\) has a minimum \(M_{\alpha}\) and maximum \(m_{\alpha}\). Then the lexicographic product \(\Pi_{\alpha<\gamma}X_{\alpha}\) of GO-spaces is also Lindelöf. \textbf{Theorem 3.2} Let \(\gamma<\omega_{1}\). Assume that for each \(\alpha<\gamma\), \(X_{\alpha}\) is a Lindelöf subspace of an ordinal. Then the lexicographic product \(\Pi_{\alpha<\gamma}X_{\alpha}\) of GO-spaces is also Lindelöf.
