Katetov's Problem
by
Paul Larson
University of Toronto
Coauthors: Stevo Todorcevic

In 1948 Miroslav Katetov showed that if the cube X3 of a compact space X satisfies the separation axiom T5 then X must be metrizable. He asked whether X3 can be replaced by X2 in this metrization result. We show the consistency of this implication.
