Power stability of k-spaces and compactness
The main result is slightly more general than the following statement: Let f: X → Y be a quasi-perfect mapping, where X is a regular space and Y a Hausdorff totally non-meagre space; if X or Y is χ-scattered, or if Y is a Lasnev space, then X is totally non-meagre. In particular, the product of a compact space X and a Hausdorff regular totally non-meagre space Y which is χ-scattered or a Lasnev space, is totally non-meagre.
A simple machinery is developed for the preservation of Baire spaces under preimages. Subsequently, some properties of maps which preserve nowhere dense sets are given.
The aim of the paper is to study the preservation and the reflection of acc and hacc spaces under various kinds of mappings. In particular, we show that acc and hacc are not preserved by perfect mappings and that acc is not reflected by closed (nor perfect) mappings while hacc is reflected by perfect mappings.
Let be a continuous map such as an open map, a closed map or a quotient map. We study under what circumstances remains an open, closed or quotient map in forcing extensions.
Let X be a Borel subset of the Cantor set C of additive or multiplicative class α, and f: X → Y be a continuous function onto Y ⊂ C with compact preimages of points. If the image f(U) of every clopen set U is the intersection of an open and a closed set, then Y is a Borel set of the same class α. This result generalizes similar results for open and closed functions.
