Abstract

In this paper, we show that there is a countable Noetherian complete lattice LL and an order-compatible dd-topology τ\tau on LL such that (L,τ)(L, \tau) is not well-filtered, and there exist a dcpo PP and an order-compatible well-filtered topology τ\tau on PP but the Scott topology σ(P)\sigma (P) is not well-filtered. For such poset PP and topology τ\tau, let Y=(P,τ)Y=(P, \tau) and X=1X = 1 (the topological space with single point), then the function space C(X,Y)\mathbb{C}(X, Y) equipped with the Scott topology is not well-filtered. These results answer three open problems concerning the well-filteredness of T0T_0-spaces.
