Linearly continuous functions and \(F \sigma\)-measurability



Abstract: The linear continuity of a function defined on a vector space means that its restriction on every affine line is continuous. For functions defined on mathbbRm this notion is near to the separate continuity for which it is required only the continuity on the straight lines which are parallel to coordinate axes. The classical Lebesgue theorem states that every separately continuous function f:mathbbRmomathbbR is of the (m−1)-th Baire class. In this paper we prove that every linearly continuous function f:mathbbRmomathbbR is of the first Baire class. Moreover, we obtain the following result. If X is a Baire cosmic topological vector space, Y is a Tychonoff topological space and f:XoY is a Borel-measurable (even BP-measurable) linearly continuous function, then f is Fsigma-measurable. Using this theorem we characterize the discontinuity point set of an arbitrary linearly continuous function on mathbbRm. In the final part of the article we prove that any Fsigma-measurable function f:partialUomathbbR defined on the boundary of a strictly convex open set UsubsetmathbbRm can be extended to a linearly continuous function . This fact shows that in the ``descriptive sense the linear continuity is not better than the Fsigma-measurability.
