Cliquishness and Quasicontinuity of Two-Variable Maps

Abstract: We study the existence of continuity points for mappings

f : X i m e s Y o Z

whose

x

-sections

Y i y o f (x, y) i n Z

are fragmentable and

y

-sections

X i x o f (x, y) i n Z

are quasicontinuous, where

X

is a Baire space and

Z

is a metric space. For the factor

Y

, we consider two infinite "point-picking" games

G_{1} (y)

and

G_{2} (y)

defined respectively for each

y i n Y

as follows: In the

n

th inning, Player I gives a dense set

D_{n} s u b s e t Y

, respectively, a dense open set

D_{n} s u b s e t Y

, then Player II picks a point

y_{n} i n D_{n}

; II wins if

y

is in the closure of

y_{n} : n i n m a t h b b N

, otherwise I wins. It is shown that (i)

f

is cliquish if II has a winning strategy in

G_{1} (y)

for every

y i n Y

, and (ii)

f

is quasicontinuous if the

x

-sections of

f

are continuous and the set of

y i n Y

such that II has a winning strategy in

G_{2} (y)

is dense in

Y

. Item (i) extends substantially a result of Debs (1986) and item (ii) indicates that the problem of Talagrand (1985) on separately continuous maps has a positive answer for a wide class of "small" compact spaces.
