Abstract: The countably paracompact normal spaces were characterised by Dowker and Katv{e}tov in terms of an insertion property. Dowker also characterised them by normality of their product with the closed unit interval. Michael used the Dowker-Katv{e}tov insertion property to motivate his selection characterisation of these spaces. Morita extended in a natural way Dowker's product characterisation to all $au$-paracompact normal spaces. In this paper, we look at these results from the point of view of open relations. Insertions and selections are equivalent for such relations. Furthermore, we obtain a natural characterisation of $au$-paracompact normal spaces in terms of selections for convex-valued open relations. Based on this characterisation, we give simple alternative proofs of the above mentioned results. Other applications are obtained as well.

Review text

All spaces considered here are Hausdorff, \(d(X)\) denotes the density of the space \(X\), and \(\tau\) is an infinite cardinal. The main result in this very well written paper is the following: Theorem 1.1: For a space \(X\), the following are equivalent: \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] \(X\) is \(\tau\)-paracompact and normal; \item[(b)] If \(E\) is a topological vector space with \(d(E)\le \tau\), then each convex-valued open relation \(\Phi:X \rightsquigarrow E\) has a continuous selection. \end{itemize} Using the above result the author gives new simple proves of some classical results of Dowker, Katětov, Michael and Morita. Other new results and corollaries of the above theorem are also obtained.
