The basic concept of Type-2 Theory of Effectivity to define computability on topological spaces or limit spaces are representations, i. e. surjection functions from the Baire space onto X. Representations having the topological property of admissibility are known to provide a reasonable computability theory. In this article, we investigate several additional properties of representations which guarantee that such representations induce a reasonable Type-2 Complexity Theory on the represented spaces. For each of these properties, we give a nice characterization of the (...) class of spaces that are equipped with a representation having the respective property. (shrink)

Berger, U., Total sets and objects in domain theory, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 60 91-117. Total sets and objects generalizing total functions are introduced into the theory of effective domains of Scott and Ersov. Using these notions Kreisel's Density Theorem and the Theorem of Kreisel-Lacombe-Shoenfield are generalized. As an immediate consequence we obtain the well-known continuity of computable functions on the constructive reals as well as a domain-theoretic characterization of the Heriditarily Effective Operations.
