Abstract: A topological space has a domain model if it is homeomorphic to the maximal point space $mboxMax(P)$ of a domain $P$. Lawson proved that every Polish space $X$ has an $omega$-domain model $P$ and for such a model $P$, $mboxMax(P)$ is a $G_{delta}$-set of the Scott space of $P$. Martin (2003) then asked whether it is true that for every $omega$-domain $Q$, $mboxMax(Q)$ is $G_{delta}$-set of the Scott space of $Q$. In this paper, we give a negative answer to Martin's long standing open problem by constructing a counterexample. The counterexample here actually shows that the answer is no even for $omega$-algebraic domains.
