Complete metrizability of metrics on the uncountable discrete space

From papers

Recall that 1\aleph_{1} denotes the first uncountable cardinal, and let D1D_{\aleph_{1}} be the discrete space of cardinality 1\aleph_{1}. The space Met(D1)\mathrm{Met}(D_{\aleph_{1}}) consists of metrics on this space, equipped with the topology considered in the paper. The uncountable discrete-space conjecture. The space Met(D1)\mathrm{Met}(D_{\aleph_{1}}) is not completely metrizable. This conjecture is proposed to remove the separability assumption from the known characterization of complete metrizability for Met(X)\mathrm{Met}(X); the separable case is known to be equivalent to XX being σ\sigma-compact, while the nonseparable case remains open.
