A stronger version of paracompactness

Given a topological space $(X,\tau)$, recall that a cover $\mathcal{U}$ of $X$ is locally finite if for every point $x\in \mathcal{U}$ has a neighborhood $U$ that intersects finitely many elements of $...

When does the refinement of a paracompact topology remain paracompact?

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Hausdorff paracompact space. Let $\tau'$ be the smallest $P$-topology refining $(X,\tau)$, i.e. the topology which has for base the $G_\delta$-subsets of $(X,\tau)$. Is it true ...

An example of a non-paracompact tvs (over the reals, say)

What is an example of a non-paracompact topological vector space? I'm aware of this question, but I don't care if my tvs is locally convex. In fact the wilder the better. The only criterion is that ...

Is the long line paracompact?

A manifold is usually defined as a second-countable hausdorff topological space which is locally homeomorphic to Rn. My understanding is that the reason "second-countable" is part of the definition is ...
