Moore space


A regularPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath developable topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath X with a nested development {Fi} is called a Moore space, named after topologist R. L. Moore.

Moore spaces form a fertile bridge between point-set topology, metrizability theory, and Zermelo-Fraenkel set theoryMathworldPlanetmath.

For example, Jones’ Theorem states that if 20<21, then every separablePlanetmathPlanetmath normal Moore space is metrizable.
