On reversible and bijectively related topological spaces (Q5963984)

Two topological spaces \(X\) and \(Y\) are bijectively related [\textit{P. H. Doyle} and \textit{J. G. Hocking}, Pac. J. Math. 111, 23--33 (1984; Zbl 0554.57014)] if there are continuous bijections \(f:X \to Y\) and \(g:Y \to X\). A space \(X\) is reversible [\textit{M. Rajagopalan} and \textit{A. Wilansky}, J. Aust. Math. Soc. 6, 129--138 (1966; Zbl 0151.29602)] if each continuous bijection of \(X\) onto itself is a homeomorphism. The authors characterize bijectively related spaces and show that there are non-homeomorphic bijectively related spaces. The space \(\mathbb Q\) of rational numbers is bijectively related to the quotient space \((\mathbb Q\cap [0,1) \times \mathbb N)/(\{0\} \times \mathbb N)\). Each power of the Khalimsky line is reversible, while each power of the Sorgenfrey line is non-reversible.
