Abstract

Modifying a construction of W. Marciszewski we prove (in ZFC) that there exists a subspace of the real line R\mathbb{R}, such that the realcompact space Cp(X)C_p(X) of continuous real-valued functions on XX with the pointwise convergence topology does not admit a continuous bijection onto a σ\sigma-compact space. This answers a question of Arhangel'skii.
