Existence of Lindelöf Space which is not Second-Countable

Theorem

There exists at least one example of a Lindelöf space which is not also a second-countable space.


Proof

Let $T$ be the Sorgenfrey line.


From Sorgenfrey Line is Lindelöf, $T$ is a Lindelöf space.

From Sorgenfrey Line is not Second-Countable, $T$ is not a second-countable space.

Hence the result.

$\blacksquare$
