Closed-Constructible functions are Piece-Wise Closed

General Topology 2012-05-29 v1

Abstract

A subset BYB \subset Y is constructible if it is an element of the smallest family that contains all open sets and is stable under finite intersections and complements. A function f:XYf : X \to Y is said to be piece-wise closed if XX can be written as a countable union of closed sets ZnZ_n such that ff is closed on every Zn.Z_n. We prove that if a continuous function ff takes each closed set into a constructible subset of YY, then ff is piece-wise closed.
