On some properties of perfect images of GO-spaces and generalized trees (Q2215689)

In this paper the authors study perfect images of generalized metric spaces, generalized ordered spaces and generalized trees. Let PIGO be the class of perfect images of generalized ordered spaces and PIGT be the class of perfect images of generalized trees with Hausdorff generalized Sorgenfrey topologies. It is an interesting question whether every monotonically normal paracompact space is a \(D\)-space, posed by \textit{C. R. Borges} and \textit{A. C. Wehrly} [Topol. Proc. 16, 7--15 (1991; Zbl 0787.54023)]. Every space in PIGO is monotonically normal. The following results are obtained in this paper: that every paracompact space in PIGO is a \(D\)-space; every \(k\)-semistratifiable space in PIGT is a metrizable space. The reviewer has the following question: Is a semi-stratifiable space in PIGT a developable space?
