Zoltán Tibor Balogh

Zoltán "Zoli" Tibor Balogh (December 7, 1953 – June 19, 2002) was a Hungarian-born mathematician, specializing in set-theoretic topology. His father, Tibor Balogh, was also a mathematician.

His best known results concerned solutions to problems involving normality of products, most notably the first ZFC construction [Z. Balogh, A small Dowker space in ZFC, "Proc. Amer. Math. Soc." 124 (1996) 2555-2560. Zbl. 0876.54016] of a small (cardinality continuum) Dowker space. He also solvedNagami's problem (normal + screenable does not imply paracompact) [Z. Balogh, A Normal Screenable Nonparacompact Space in ZFC, "Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.", 126 (1998) 1835-1844 [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-9939%28199806%29126%3A6%3C1835%3AANSNSI%3E2.0.CO%3B2-6] ] , and the second and third Morita conjectures about normality in products [Z. Balogh, Non-shrinking open covers and K. Morita's duality conjectures, "Topology Appl.", 115 (2001) 333-341] .
