Abstract

In 1961, Z. Frolik proved that if f is an open and continuous mapping of a metrizable separable space X onto Baire space Y and if the point inverses are Baire spaces, then X is a Baire space. We give a generalization to semi-continuous and semi-open mapping of this theorem and extended it to the several types of mappings.
