Lindelof space
This article defines a property of topological spaces: a property that can be evaluated to true/false for any topological space|View a complete list of properties of topological spaces

Definition
A topological space is said to be Lindelof if every open cover of it has a countable subcover.

Metaproperties
The product of two Lindelof spaces need not be a Lindelof space. A counterexample is the Sorgenfrey plane, which is a product of two copies of the Sorgenfrey line.
