Luzin measurability of Carathéodory type mappings

A topological space X is said to have the Scorza-Dragoni property if the following property holds: For every metric space Y and every Radon measure space (T,μ), any Carathéodory function is Luzin measurable, i.e., given ε>0, there is a compact set K in T with μ(T?K)?ε such that the mapping is continuous. We present a selection of spaces without the Scorza-Dragoni property, among which there are first countable hereditarily separable and hereditarily Lindelöf compact spaces, separable Moore spaces and even countable k-spaces. In the positive direction, it is shown that every space which is an ℵ₀-space and kR-space has the Scorza-Dragoni property. We also prove that every separately continuous mapping , where Y is a metric space, is Luzin measurable, provided the space X is strongly functionally generated by a countable collection of its bounded subsets. If Martin's Axiom is assumed then all metric spaces of density less than c, and all pseudocompact spaces of cardinality less than c, have the Scorza-Dragoni property with respect to every separable Radon measure μ. Finally, the class of countable spaces with the Scorza-Dragoni property is closely examined.
