Abstract

A subset A of a topological space X is called relatively functionally countable (RFC) in X, if for each continuous function f:X→R the set f[A] is countable. We prove that all RFC subsets of a product ∏n∈ωXn are countable, assuming that spaces Xn are Tychonoff and all RFC subsets of every Xn are countable. In particular, in a metrizable space every RFC subset is countable.The main tool in the proof is the following result: for every Tychonoff space X and any countable set Q⊆X there is a continuous function f:Xω→R2 such that the restriction of f to Qω is injective.
