Abstract

For a Tychonoff space XX, B1(X)B_1(X) denotes the space of all Baire-one functions on XX endowed with the pointwise topology. We prove that the following assertions are equivalent: (1) B1(X)B_1(X) is a (semi-)Montel space, (2) B1(X)B_1(X) is a (semi-)reflexive space, (3) B1(X)B_1(X) is a (quasi-)complete space, (4) B1(X)=RXB_1(X)=\mathbb{R}^X, (5) XX is a QfQ_f-space. It is proved that B1(X)B_1(X) is sequentially complete iff B1(X)B_1(X) is locally complete iff XX is a CZCZ-space. In the case when KK is a compact space, we show that B1(K)B_1(K) is locally complete iff KK is scattered. We thoroughly study the case when XX is a separable metrizable space. Numerous distinguished examples are given.
