Abstract:

We show that a metric space $M$ is $\sigma$-locally compact if and only if every image of $M$ under a closed, continuous function is the countable union of closed, metrizable, locally compact subspaces. Several other theorems about closed, continuous images of metric spaces are given; one of these is that the closed, continuous image of a complete, $\sigma$-locally compact metric space must contain a dense, metrizable open set.
