Abstract

Our purpose is to present an elementary exposition of a classical
result in general topology which is a weak version of a problem known as the
normal Moore space conjecture. With this aim we study some of the basic
properties of Moore spaces and characterize those which are both Lindelof
and second countable. We also make use of the continuum hypothesis along
with Martin’s axiom to establish the result in question.
