Weakly discontinuous and resolvable functions between topological spaces

Abstract: We prove that a function

f : X o Y

from a first-countable (more generally, Preiss-Simon) space

X

to a regular space

Y

is weakly discontinuous (which means that every subspace

A s u b s e t X

contains an open dense subset

U s u b s e t A

such that

f | U

is continuous) if and only if

f

is open-resolvable (in the sense that for every open subset

U s u b s e t Y

the preimage

f^{- 1} (U)

is a resolvable subset of

X

) if and only if

f

is resolvable (in the sense that for every resolvable subset

R s u b s e t Y

the preimage

f^{- 1} (R)

is a resolvable subset of

X

). For functions on metrizable spaces this characterization was announced (without proof) by Vinokurov in 1985.
