Abstract:

Let $X$ be an analytic space (e.g., a complete metric space). We prove that any point-countable ${F_\sigma }$-set cover of $X$ either has $\sigma$-discrete refinement, or else there is a compact subset of $X$ not covered by any countable subfamily of the cover. It follows that any point-countable ${F_\sigma }$-additive family in $X$ has a $\sigma$-discrete refinement. This is used to show that any weakly ${F_\sigma }$-measurable multimap, defined on $X$ and taking nonempty, closed and separable values in a complete metric space, has a selector of the first Baire class.
