Weakly discontinuous and resolvable functions between topological spaces

Abstract

We prove that a function f:XYf:X\to Y from a first-countable (more generally, Preiss-Simon) space XX to a regular space YY is weakly discontinuous (which means that every subspace AXA\subset X contains an open dense subset UAU\subset A such that fUf|U is continuous) if and only if ff is open-resolvable (in the sense that for every open subset UYU\subset Y the preimage f1(U)f^{-1}(U) is a resolvable subset of XX) if and only if ff is resolvable (in the sense that for every resolvable subset RYR\subset Y the preimage f1(R)f^{-1}(R) is a resolvable subset of XX). For functions on metrizable spaces this characterization was announced (without proof) by Vinokurov in 1985.
