# 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

Does every Lindelöf space with Gδ points have cardinality less or equal to the continuum?

sorry

--TODO under additional set theory axioms, there exists such a space with 𝔠 < #X.
