A subspace $A$ of a space $X$ such that for every neighbourhood $U$ of $A$ in $X$ there is a set $H$ that is the union of a countable family of sets closed in $X$ and with $A \subset H \subset U$. If $A$ is normally imbedded in $X$ and $X$ is normally imbedded in $Y$, then $A$ is normally imbedded in $Y$. A normally-imbedded subspace of a normal space is itself normal in the induced topology, which explains the name. Final compactness of a space is equivalent to its being normally imbedded in some (and hence in any) compactification of this space. Quite generally, a normally-imbedded subspace of a finally-compact space is itself finally compact.

Comments

A finally-compact space is the same as a Lindelöf space.
