Characterizations of open and semi-open maps of compact Hausdorff spaces by induced maps (Q6542003)

In this paper, some characterization results are provided for open and semi-open maps of compact Hausdorff spaces, via induced maps.\NBy a flow, one means any triple \((T,X,\pi)\) (simply denoted as \(\mathcal{X}\)) where \(T\) is a topological group, \(X\) is the phase space, and \(\pi:T\times X\to X\) is the action of \(T\) over \(X\).\N\NThe main results of the paper are here described:\N\NTheorem. Let \(\phi:\mathcal{X}\to\mathcal{Y}\) be an extension of compact semiflows such that \(t\phi^{-1}(y)=\phi^{-1}(ty)\), for all \(t\in T\), \(y\in Y\). If \(\phi\) is highly proximal and \(\mathcal{X}\) has a dense set of almost periodic points, then \(\phi\) is semi-open.\N\NLet \(f:X\to Y\) be a continuous map between the topological spaces \(X\) and \(Y\). Then, let \(f_*:\mathcal{M}(X)\to\mathcal{M}(Y)\) stand for its induced continuous surjective map, where \(\mathcal{M}(X)\) and \(\mathcal{M}(Y)\) denote the set of all regular Borel probability measures on \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively.\N\NTheorem. Let \(f:X\to Y\) be a continuous surjective map between the compact Hausdorff spaces \(X\) and \(Y\). Then: \N\N(1) If \(f\) is semi-open densely open, then \(f_*\) is semi-open densely open;\N\N(2) If \(f\) is densely open, then \(f_*\) is densely open.
