“A
short
talk about a
peculiar topological space
that Peter Johnstone, Bob Paré and I used
some 30 years ago
to solve a
topoidal problem
.”
“Peculiar”
It has a discrete, dense, open subset, whose (closed) complement is a discrete subspace as well, yet ...
“Topoidal problem”
... the whole space admits a double cover with
no
continuous global section.
