“…ðX is not normal [3]. On the other hand, the equivalence of normality and countable paracompactness was established for many cases in the theory of product spaces, see [8], [9], [13], [15], [16], [19] and [20], in particular, it is well known by [16] that the product of a normal countably paracompact space with a metric space is normal iff it is countably paracompact. In section 2 of this paper, we prove that the product îð X of an uncountable regular cardinal î with a paracompact semi-stratifiable space is normal iff it is countably paracompact.…”
