Review text

A completely regular Hausdorff space \(X\) is called a quasi-Mařík [Mařík] space if every positive finite Baire measure on \(X\) extends to a Borel measure on \(X\) [which is inner regular with respect to the closed subsets of \(X\)]. Normal countably paracompact spaces belong to the latter class, according to a result of J. Mařík (1957). Both classes were studied in detail by \textit{H. Ohta} and \textit{K. Tamano} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 317, No. 1, 393-415 (1990; Zbl 0691.54009)]. The author answers some questions asked in that paper. In particular, he exhibits, under a special set-theoretic axiom, a normal quasi-Mařík non-Mařík space. (The space in question is a certain Dowker space taken from the literature.) He also exhibits, under another special set-theoretic axiom, a Dowker-Mařík space, answering a question of W. Adamski (1987). Moreover, the paper under review contains various results on the invariance of quasi-Mařík and Mařík spaces under topological operations, like taking unions, products, subspaces, preimages. Reviewer's remarks: (1) In the proof of Theorem 3.7 one could apply, instead of a theorem of J. C. Oxtoby, a standard result on the isomorphism of continuous measures on standard spaces due to \textit{E. Marczewski} [see his ``Collected mathematical papers, Warsaw: Polish Acad. of Sciences, Inst. of Mathematics (1996), p. 177; cf. also \textit{H. L. Royden}, ``Real analysis (1969; Zbl 0197.03501), Theorem 15.9]. (2) It is unclear why, in the proof of Proposition 3.14, one can choose \(K_n\) with the desired approximation property.
