Abstract
A map f:X→Y between topological spaces is called weakly discontinuous if each subspace A⊂X contains an open dense subset U⊂A such that the restriction f|U is continuous. A bijective map f:X→Y between topological spaces is called a weak homeomorphism if f and f−1 are weakly discontinuous. We study properties of topological spaces preserved by weakly discontinuous maps and weak homeomorphisms. In particular, we show that weak homeomorphisms preserve network weight, hereditary Lindelöf number, dimension. Also we classify infinite zero-dimensional σ-Polish metrizable spaces up to a weak homeomorphism and prove that any such space X is weakly homeomorphic to one of 9 spaces: ω, 2ω, Nω, Q, Q⊕2ω, Q×2ω, Q⊕Nω, (Q×2ω)⊕Nω, Q×Nω.
