Polynomial set-valued functions
The aim of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a set-valued function to be a polynomial s.v. function of order at most 2.

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.
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.
We discuss functions f : X × Y → Z such that sets of the form f (A × B) have non-empty interiors provided that A and B are non-empty sets of second category and have the Baire property.
