Baire functions as restrictions of continuous functions (Q2640185)

Let C(X) be the set of all continuous real functions on a Tikhonov space X. Let L be the upper half-plane determined by the condition \(y\geq 0\); \(\partial L\) is the boundary line \(y=0\). The space L is supposed to be furnished with such a topology that it forms the Nemycki plane [\textit{R. Engelking}, General topology (Russian translation) (1986), Example 1.2.4]. The main result of the paper is an affirmative answer to a question posed by \textit{A. V. Arkhangel'skij}. Theorem: We identify \(\partial L\) with the real axis R in the ordinary topology. With this identification, \(B^ 1(R)=\{f|\partial L:\) \(f\in C(L)\}\) \((B^ 1(R)\) denotes the family of all real Baire one functions). The author gives some other results which concern the functions of higher Baire classes.
