Quasicontinuous and separately continuous functions with values in Maslyuchenko spaces (Q2405085)

The paper generalizes some classical results about quasicontinuous and separately continuous functions with values in metrizable spaces to functions in certain generalized metric spaces. A function \(f:X\times Y\) is called a \(KC\)-function (\(QC\)-function) if it is quasicontinuous (lower quasicontinuous) with respect to the first variable and continuous with respect to the second variable. A topological space \(Z\) is called \(KC\)-Maslyuchenko (\(QC\)-Maslyuchenko) if for each \(KC\)-function (\(QC\)-function) \(f:X\times Y\to Z\) defined on the product of a topological space \(X\) and a second-countable space \(Y\) the set \(D(f)\) of discontinuity points of \(f\) has meager projection on \(X\). A topological space \(Z\) is called \(CC\)-Maslyuchenko if for each separately continuous function \(f:X\times Y\to Z\) defined on the product of separable metrizable spaces \(X\) and \(Y\) the set \(D(f)\) has meager projection on \(X\). In the paper, the classes of \(KC\)-Maslyuchenko, \(QC\)-Maslyuchenko and \(CC\)-Maslyuchenko spaces are studied. Among many other things, it is shown that the class of \(QC\)-Maslyuchenko spaces is closed under taking countable Tychonoff products (under taking fibered preimages, under strong \(\bar{\sigma}\)-sums, under \(\bar{G}_\delta\)-retral unions, under taking Michael modifications, under taking sequentially admissible function spaces).
