A weakly Stegall space that is not a Stegall space (Q4779872)

A topological space \(X\) is called Stegall (weakly Stegall) if for every Baire (complete metric) space \(B\) and for every minimal upper semicontinuous compact valued mapping \(\phi:B\to X\), \(\phi\) is single-valued at some point of \(B\). The class of Stegall spaces was introduced by \textit{C. Stegall} in [Vorlesungen Fachbereich Math. Univ. Essen 10, 63-77 (1983; Zbl 0531.46015)] to study weak Asplund spaces. The class of weakly Stegall spaces was introduced in 1997 by the reviewer in an unpublished note with hope that it would help in the study of Gâteaux differentiability spaces. The authors investigate the class of weakly Stegall spaces and establish several non-trivial properties and examples. They characterize weakly Stegall compact spaces in terms of the fragmenting game. An important consequence is the following fact: Let \(X\) be a compact space of weight \(\kappa\). Then \(X\) is weakly Stegall whenever it satisfies the definition of weakly Stegall spaces for complete metric spaces of weight at most \(\kappa\). The analogous statement for Stegall class is false as shown by the reviewer [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 130, 2139-2143 (2002; Zbl 0997.46014)]. Using this result it is shown that there is, under some additional axioms of set theory, a Banach space whose dual equipped with the weak* topology is weakly Stegall but not Stegall. In fact this is the space used by the reviewer in the mentioned paper as an example of a weak Asplund space whose dual is not Stegall.
