Among other related old examples there is, say, "*Tykhonov desk" (Eng?) of a Tykhonov space that is not normal. | |

I could trandlat the directly relevant lines, about the example. The intro to that edition was written by P.S.Alexandrov, 1971-03-25 -- it provides the historical background. | |

The question was: when was it first observed to be locally compact but not compact? Secondly, you shouldn't go around calling other people "naive." Read up on the Mathoverflow FAQ, and focus on the "be nice" part. This is a community of people trying to help each other, not some kind of nasty competition. Lastly, you haven't provided any way to actually verify what you wrote. A link to the relevant part of this memoir would be nice. | |
