Abstract:

In this paper we present results about the structure of compact subsets of the first Baire class. For example, we give a complete description of characters of points in such compacta as well as a complete list of ‘critical’ members of this class of compacta. Moreover, we describe the close relationship between this class of compacta and the class of compact metric spaces.
