Abstract

A map f:XYf:X\to Y between topological spaces is called weakly discontinuous if each subspace AXA\subset X contains an open dense subspace UAU\subset A such that the restriction fUf|U is continuous. A bijective map f:XYf:X\to Y between topological spaces is called a weak homeomorphism if ff and f1f^{-1} are weakly discontinuous. We study properties of topological spaces preserved by weakly discontinuous maps and weak homeomorphisms. In particular, we show that weak homeomorphisms preserve network weight, hereditary Lindel\"of number, dimension. Also we classify infinite zero-dimensional σ\sigma-Polish metrizable spaces up to a weak homeomorphism and prove that any such space XX is weakly homeomorphic to one of 9 spaces: ω\omega, 2ω2^\omega, Nω\mathbb N^\omega, Q\mathbb Q, Q2ω\mathbb Q\oplus 2^\omega, Q×2ω\mathbb Q\times 2^\omega, QNω\mathbb Q\oplus\mathbb N^\omega, (Q×2ω)Nω(\mathbb Q\times 2^\omega)\oplus\mathbb N^\omega, Q×Nω\mathbb Q\times\mathbb N^\omega.
