Paracompactness and open relations
From MaRDI portal
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 -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 -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.
