    A space \(X\) is \textit{cleavable} over a space \(Y\) \textit{along} \(A\subseteq X\) if there exists a continuous \(f: X\to Y\) such that \(f(A)\cap f(X\smallsetminus A)=\emptyset\). A space \(X\) is \textit{cleavable over} \(Y\) if it is cleavable over \(Y\) along all \(A\subseteq X\). In [\textit{A. V. Arhangel'skiĭ}, ``On cleavability of topological spaces over \(\mathbb{R}\), \(\mathbb{R}^n\), and \(\mathbb{R}^\omega\)'', Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 659, 18--28 (1992; Zbl 1250.54004)], it was asked whether every infinite compactum cleavable over a LOTS is itself a LOTS. In the paper under review, the author provides a partial answer to that question by showing that if \(X\) is a compact space cleavable over a separable LOTS \(Y\) such that for some continuous \(f: X\to Y\) the set of points on which \(f\) is not injective is scattered, then \(X\) is a LOTS. This is proved first for the case when \(X\) is totally disconnected, and then that result is used to prove it for any compact \(X\).
