Abstract: In 1987, A.V. Pestryakov proved a series of theorems for cardinal functions of the space Balpha(X) of all real-valued functions of Baire class alpha (alpha>0), and he conjectured that most of these theorems are true for spaces containing all finite linear combinations of characteristic functions of zero-sets in X. In this paper we investigate for which theorems of Pestriakov generalizations are valid. Also we prove some additional propositions for function spaces applying the theory of selection principles.


Fix a Tychonoff space \((X,\tau)\). Denote by \(X_{\aleph_0}\) the set \(X\) endowed with the Baire topology, i.e. the topology having as a basis the family \(Z(X)\) of all zero sets of continuous real-valued functions on \(X\). Set \(L(X)=\{\sum_{i=1}^kn_i\chi_{Z_i}\mid Z_i\in Z(X), k,i,n_i\in\mathbb N\}\), where \(\chi_S\) denotes the characteristic function on \(S\). Define \(\mathbb B(X)=\{Y \mid L(X)\subset Y\subset C(X_{\aleph_0})\}\). Extending results of \textit{A. V. Pestryakov} [in: Investigations on the theory of convex sets and graphs. Collection of scientific works. Sverdlovsk: Ural'skiĭ Nauchnyĭ Tsentr AN SSSR. 53--59 (1987; Zbl 0662.54001)] the author relates cardinalities, such as tightness, hereditary density, hereditary Lindelöfness, spread, pseudocharacter, network weight and the Lindelöf number of \(\mathbb B(X)\) to cardinalities of \(X\) or \(X_{\aleph_0}\).
