Morita conjectures

The Morita conjectures in general topology are certain problems about normal spaces, now solved in the affirmative. They asked

1. If X × Y is normal for every normal space Y, is X discrete?
2. If X × Y is normal for every normal P-space Y, is X metrizable ^[1]?
3. If X × Y is normal for every normal countably paracompact space Y, is X metrizable and sigma-locally compact?

Here a normal P-space Y is characterised by the property that the product with every metrizable X is normal; thus the conjecture was that the converse holds.

K. Chiba, T.C. Przymusiński and M.E. Rudin ^[2] proved conjecture (1) and showed that conjecture (2) is true if the axiom of constructibility V=L, holds.

Z. Balogh proved conjectures (2) and (3).^[3]
