Abstract:
It is proved that for any paracompact $p$-space $X$ and any normal functor ${\mathscr F}$ of degree $\geq3$ in the category
$\mathscr{P}$ the hereditary normality of the space $\mathscr{F}(X) \setminus X$ implies the metrizability of $X$.
Key words:paracompact $p$-space, normal functor, hereditary normality, metrizability.
