Continuous mappings on subspaces of products with the κ-box topology

Much of General Topology addresses this issue: Given a function fC(Y,Z) with YY^′ and ZZ^′, find , or at least , such that ; sometimes Z=Z^′ is demanded. In this spirit the authors prove several quite general theorems in the context Y^′=(X_I)_κ=∏_iIX_i in the κ-box topology (that is, with basic open sets of the form ∏_iIU_i with U_i open in X_i and with U_i≠X_i for <κ-many iI). A representative sample result, extending to the κ-box topology some results of Comfort and Negrepontis, of Noble and Ulmer, and of Hušek, is this. Theorem Let ωκα (that means: κ<α, and β<α and λ<κ]β^λ<α) with α regular, be a set of non-empty spaces with each d(X_i)<α, πY]=X_J for each non-empty JI such that |J|<α, and the diagonal in Z be the intersection of <α-many regular-closed subsets of Z×Z. Then (a) Y is pseudo-(α,α)-compact, (b) for every fC(Y,Z) there is JI]^<α such that f(x)=f(y) whenever x_J=y_J, and (c) every such f extends to .
