Reflections in small continuous images of ordered spaces (Q300496)

The authors study topological concepts related to reflections in continuous images of Tychonoff and GO-spaces. This is made in terms of weight, so that countable i-weight corresponds to continuous images of weight not bigger than \(\omega_1\) for Tychonoff spaces, whereas separability corresponds to continuous images of weight not bigger than \(\omega_1\) for GO-spaces. It is also proved that, on the one hand, any continuous image of weight not bigger than \(\omega_1\) of a Generalised Ordered space has countable pseudocharacter if and only if the space is hereditarily Lindelöf, and, on the other hand, any continuous image of weight not bigger than \(\omega_1\) of a linearly ordered space has a \(G_\delta\) diagonal if and only if the given space satisfies the second countability axiom. The authors give a wide list of open problems in the final section of the manuscript, in the search for a complete picture of the topic analyzed, namely information on reflexivity of topological properties in small continuous images.
