Abstract.H. Blumberg proved that, if/is a real-valued function defined on the real line R, then there is a dense subset D of R such that/|D is continuous. J. C. Bradford and C. Goffman showed [3] that this theorem holds for a metric space X if and only if X is a Baire space. In the present paper, we show that Blumberg's theorem holds for a topological space X having a rr-disjoint pseudo-base if and only if X is a Baire space. Then we identify some classes of topological spaces which have (/-disjoint pseudo-bases. Also, we show that a certain class of iocally compact, Hausdorff spaces satisfies Blumberg's theorem. Finally, we describe two Baire spaces for which Blumberg's theorem does not hold. One is completely regular, Hausdorff, cocompact, strongly a-favorable, and pseudocomplete; the other is regular and hereditarily Lindelöf.1. In [3], J. C. Bradford and C. Goffman proved the following statement.
Theorem.A metric space X is a Baire space if and only if the following statement, called Blumberg's theorem, holds.1.2. Iff is a real-valued function defined on X, then there is a dense subset D of Xsuch that f\D is continuous.It is clear from the proof of 1.1 given in [3], that any topological space for which 1.2 holds is a Baire space. The purposes of this note are to show that 1.2 holds for certain classes of topological Baire spaces, and to give an example which shows that 1.2 does not hold for all completely regular, Hausdorff, Baire spaces.1.3. Lemma. Suppose X and Y are topological spaces and f.X-^-Y. Suppose that for each nonempty open subset U of X, there is a subset KÍU) of U such that f\KÍU) is continuous and K{U) is not nowhere dense. Then there is a dense subset D of X such that f\D is continuous.The proof of 1.3 is simple and is omitted.
