Some remarks on Baire spaces
The class of quasi Radon-Nikodým compact spaces is introduced. We prove that this class is closed under countable products and continuous images. It includes the Radon-Nikodým compact spaces. Adapting Alster's proof we show that every quasi Radon-Nikodým and Corson compact space is Eberlein. This generalizes earlier results by J. Orihuela, W. Schachermayer, M. Valdivia and C. Stegall. Further the class of almost totally disconnected spaces is defined and it is shown that every quasi Radon-Nikodým...
For a cardinal , we say that a subset of a space is -compact in if for every continuous function , is a compact subset of . If is a -compact subset of a space , then denotes the degree of -compactness of in . A space is called -pseudocompact if is -compact into itself. For each cardinal , we give an example of an -pseudocompact space such that is not pseudocompact: this answers a question posed by T. Retta in “Some cardinal generalizations of pseudocompactness”...
Let X be a completely regular Hausdorff topological space and the space of continuous real-valued maps on X endowed with the pointwise topology. A simple and natural argument is presented to show how to construct on the space , if X contains a homeomorphic copy of the closed interval [0,1], real-valued maps which are everywhere discontinuous but continuous on all compact subsets of .
A space is truly weakly pseudocompact if is either weakly pseudocompact or Lindelöf locally compact. We prove: (1) every locally weakly pseudocompact space is truly weakly pseudocompact if it is either a generalized linearly ordered space, or a proto-metrizable zero-dimensional space with for every ; (2) every locally bounded space is truly weakly pseudocompact; (3) for , the -Lindelöfication of a discrete space of cardinality is weakly pseudocompact if .
