Topological properties preserved by weakly discontinuous maps and weak homeomorphisms (Q2400851)

A function \(f:X\to Y\) is weakly discontinuous if each subspace contains an open dense subset the restriction of \(f\) to which is continuous. Call \(f\) a weak homeomorphism provided \(f\) is bijective and both \(f\) and \(f^{-1}\) are weakly discontinuous. If two perfectly paracompact spaces are weakly homeomorphic then they have the same network weight, the same hereditary Lindelöf number, the same hereditary density and the same dimension, and they are analytic, \(\sigma\)-compact and \(\sigma\)-Polish together. It is also shown that every infinite zero-dimensional \(\sigma\)-Polish space is weakly homeomorphic to one of the nine spaces \(\omega\), \(2^\omega\), \(\mathbb N^\omega\), \(\mathbb Q\), \(\mathbb Q\oplus2^\omega\), \(\mathbb Q\times2^\omega\), \(\mathbb Q\oplus\mathbb N^\omega\), \(\mathbb Q\times\mathbb N^\omega\) and \((\mathbb Q\times2^\omega)\oplus\mathbb N^\omega\).
