Abstract:
      In 1977, Yingming Liu introduced quasi-paracompactness and proved that under $2^{\omega_1}>2^{\omega}$ every separable normal quasi-paracompact space is a paracompact space, which is a result of set-theoretic topology. In this paper we further prove that hypothesis ``$2^{\omega_1}>2^{\omega}$'' is equivalent to that every separable normal quasi-paracompact space is a paracompact space, which gives an independent result of quasi-paracompactness.
