Uncountable discrete one-point compactification counterexample

ID: uncountable-discrete-one-point-compactification-counterexample

The one-point compactification of an uncountable discrete space is a hereditarily normal space but not a perfectly normal space. A subspace missing is discrete; one containing it is closed, hence compact Hausdorff and normal. However, every neighborhood of misses only finitely many points of . A countable intersection misses at most countably many points, so the closed singleton is not a G-delta set.
