Abstract

It is an important result in frame theory that the coproduct of a family of regular Lindelöf frames is Lindelöf [3]. We show that this ‘Lindelöf Tychonoff Theorem’ or ‘LTT’ is independent of ZF and indeed lies close in logical strength to the Axiom of Countable Choice, quite unlike the case with the usual (frame) Tychonoff Theorem. Along the way we construct the regular Lindelöf coreflection and obtain a simple proof of the LTT as a corollary.
