Exercise 8, § 4

General Topology, IX, p. 102

Every totally ordered set X, endowed with one of the topologies T+(X),T−(X)\mathscr{T}_+(X), \mathscr{T}_-(X) (I, p. 91, Exercise 5) is completely normal. (If A, B are two subsets of X such that A∩B‾=B∩A‾=∅A \cap \overline{B} = B \cap \overline{A} = \varnothing, define, for every point x∈Ax \in A, a neighbourhood VxV_x of x, and for every y∈By \in B, a neighbourhood WyW_y of y such that Vx∩Wy=∅V_x \cap W_y = \varnothing for x∈Ax \in A and y∈By \in B).
