Normality of products of monotonically normal spaces with compact spaces

Let S be the class of all spaces, each of which is homeomorphic to a stationary subset of a regular uncountable cardinal (depending on the space). In this paper, we prove the following result: The product X × C of a monotonically normal space X and a compact space C is normal if and only if S × C is normal for each closed subspace S in X belonging to S . As a corollary, we obtain the following result: If the product of a monotonically normal space and a compact space is orthocompact, then it is normal.
