Mar 18, 2014 at 22:39 comment added Garabed Gulbenkian Thanks. That certainly proves that property P does not imply second countability and one can take any second countable topological space for X.
Mar 17, 2014 at 20:35 comment added Santi Spadaro The disjoint sum of spaces $(X, \sigma)$ and $(Y, \tau)$ (where $X \cap Y=\emptyset$) is defined as the topology on $X \cup Y$ where a set $U$ is open if and only if $U \cap X \in \sigma$ and $U \cap Y \in \tau$.
Mar 17, 2014 at 20:05 comment added Garabed Gulbenkian I must apologize! My previous comment is topsy-turvy. X should be the space that has property P and Z should be the countable space that is not second countable. But I would still like to know what is meant by the "topological sum" of these two spaces.
Mar 17, 2014 at 19:42 comment added Garabed Gulbenkian @ Santi Sparado: Thanks for your answer. Perhaps you could clarify one point. Let Z be the space having property P. Is Y the set union of X and Z and is the set union of any base of X with any base of Z, a base of Y? I am just trying to understand clearly what "topological sum" means
