On comparing two different notions of compactly generated space

154 Views Asked by At

I have encountered, in different circumstances, the following two slightly different categories:

The full category of $\mathsf{Top}$ consisting of all objects that are:

a) topological spaces such that all compact subspaces are closed and that any subset is closed iff its preimage of every embedding of a compact subspace is closed (denotes by $\mathsf A$);

or

b) topological spaces such that all images of Hausdorff compact spaces are closed and that any subset is closed iff its preimage of every continuous map from a Hausdorff compact space is closed (denotes by $\mathsf B$).

I find that $\mathsf B$ is contained in $\mathsf A$, but I have no idea if $\mathsf B$ is properly contained in $\mathsf A$. Does anyone know the answer?

Besides, if $\mathsf A$ and $\mathsf B$ are distinct. I'm also wondering what's the advantages and disadvantages of using $\mathsf A$ instead of $\mathsf B$, and conversely?
