Abstract

Let f:XYf:X\rightarrow Y be a map. ff is a {\it sequence-covering map}\cite{Si1} if whenever {yn}\{y_{n}\} is a convergent sequence in YY there is a convergent sequence {xn}\{x_{n}\} in XX with each xnf1(yn)x_{n}\in f^{-1}(y_{n}); ff is an {\it 1-sequence-covering map}\cite{Ls2} if for each yYy\in Y there is xf1(y)x\in f^{-1}(y) such that whenever {yn}\{y_{n}\} is a sequence converging to yy in YY there is a sequence {xn}\{x_{n}\} converging to xx in XX with each xnf1(yn)x_{n}\in f^{-1}(y_{n}). In this paper, we mainly discuss the sequence-covering maps on generalized metric spaces, and give an affirmative answer for a question in \cite{LL1} and some related questions, which improve some results in \cite{LL1, Ls4, YP}, respectively. Moreover, we also prove that open and closed maps preserve strongly monotonically monolithity, and closed sequence-covering maps preserve spaces with a σ\sigma-point-discrete kk-network. Some questions about sequence-covering maps on generalized metric spaces are posed.
