On separability of the unbounded norm topology

In this paper we continue the investigation of topological properties of the unbounded norm (un-)topology in normed lattices. We characterize separability and second countability of the un-topology in terms of properties of the underlying normed lattice. We apply our results to prove that an order continuous Banach function space X over a semi-finite measure space is separable if and only if it has a s-finite carrier and is separable with respect to the topology of local convergence in measure. We also address the question when a normed lattice is a normal space with respect to the un-topology.
