Abstract

Given two topologies, T1 and T2, on the same set X, the intersection topology} with respect to T1 and T2 is the topology with basis {U1U2:U1T1,U2T2}. Equivalently, T is the join of T1 and T2 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 ω1-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 ω1, employing a well-behaved second countable subtopology of the separable GO-space.
