We study topological properties of Valdivia compact spaces. We prove in particular that a compact Hausdorff space K is Corson provided each continuous image of K is a Valdivia compactum. This answers a question of M. Valdivia (1997). We also prove that the class of Valdivia compacta is stable with respect to arbitrary products and we give a generalization of the fact that Corson compacta are angelic.

We characterize the countable compactness of lexicographic products of GO-spaces. Applying this characterization about lexicographic products, we see: $\circ$ \circ ...

We prove the result on Baire classification of mappings $f:X\times Y\to Z$ which are continuous with respect to the first variable and belongs to a Baire class with respect to the second one, where $X$ is a $PP$-space, $Y$ is a topological space and $Z$ is a strongly $\sigma$-metrizable space with additional properties. We show that for any topological space $X$, special equiconnected space $Z$ and a mapping $g:X\to Z$ of the $(n-1)$-th Baire class there exists a strongly separately continuous mapping $f:X^n\to Z$ with the diagonal $g$. For wide classes of spaces...

We prove in particular that a continuous image of a Valdivia compact space is Corson provided it contains no homeomorphic copy of the ordinal segment $[0,{\omega }_1]$. This generalizes a result of R. Deville and G. Godefroy who proved it for Valdivia compact spaces. We give also a refinement of their result which yields a pointwise version of retractions on a Valdivia compact space.

We investigate the Baire classification of mappings f: X × Y → Z, where X belongs to a wide class of spaces which includes all metrizable spaces, Y is a topological space, Z is an equiconnected space, which are continuous in the first variable. We show that for a dense set in X these mappings are functions of a Baire class α in the second variable.

Given a Tychonoff space $X$ and an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, we prove that exponential $\kappa$-domination in $X$ is equivalent to exponential $\kappa$-cofinality of $C_p\left(X\right)$. On the other hand, exponential $\kappa$-cofinality of $X$ is equivalent to exponential $\kappa$-domination in $C_p\left(X\right)$. We show that every exponentially $\kappa$-cofinal space $X$ has a ${\kappa }^{+}$-small diagonal; besides, if $X$ is $\kappa$-stable, then $nw\left(X\right)\le \kappa$. In particular, any compact exponentially $\kappa$-cofinal space has weight not exceeding $\kappa$. We also establish that any exponentially $\kappa$-cofinal space $X$ with...

In un progetto di generalizzazione delle classiche topologie di tipo «set-open» di Arens-Dugundji introduciamo un metodo generale per produrre topologie in spazi di funzioni mediante l'uso di ipertopologie. Siano $X$, $Y$ spazi topologici e $C\left(X,Y\right)$ l'insieme delle funzioni continue da $X$ verso $Y$. Fissato un «network» $\alpha$ nel dominio $X$ ed una topologia $\tau$ nell'iperspazio $CL\left(Y\right)$ del codominio $Y$ si genera una topologia ${\tau }_{\alpha }$ in $C\left(X,Y\right)$ richiedendo che una rete $\left\{f_{\lambda }\right\}$ di $C\left(X,Y\right)$ converge in ${\tau }_{\alpha }$ ad $f\in C\left(X,Y\right)$ se e solo se la rete $\left\{\overline{f_{\lambda }\left(A\right)}\right\}$ converge in $\tau$ ad $\overline{f\left(A\right)}$...
