Abstract
Given two topologies, and , on the same set X, the intersection topology} with respect to and is the topology with basis . Equivalently, T is the join of and in the lattice of topologies on the set X. Following the work of Reed concerning intersection topologies with respect to the real line and the countable ordinals, Kunen made an extensive investigation of normality, perfectness and -compactness in this class of topologies. We demonstrate that the majority of his results generalise to the intersection topology with respect to an arbitrary separable GO-space and , employing a well-behaved second countable subtopology of the separable GO-space.
