# Conjecture about cardinality of Lindelöf spaces

The conjecture asks for a Lindelöf space where all singletons are G_δ sets
and which has cardinality > 𝔠.

This is Problem 1 in https://www.math.md/files/basm/y2013-n2-3/y2013-n2-3-(pp37-46).pdf.pdf

Move these to ForMathlib?

Yeah, there are a few theorems one could add about this acutually
https://topology.pi-base.org/properties/P000191
I might add some later

But I kind of prefer to put everything into the ForMathlib once all of #1849 is formalised (shouldnt take too long), to keep things organised better.

I feel like it's easier to move things as they come, also from a reviewing perspective

Is there a Lindelöf space with singletons as Gδ sets with cardinality greater than the continuum?

theorem HasGδSingletons.lindelof_card :
∃ (X : Type) (_ : TopologicalSpace X), HasGδSingletons X ∧ LindelofSpace X ∧ 𝔠 < #X := by
sorry

-- TODO: under additional axioms (consistent with ZFC), such a space exists.
