Résumé

This paper is concerned with topological spaces whose continuous maps into a given space R are constant, as well as with spaces having this property locally. We call these spaces R-monolithic and locally R-monolithic, respectively.Spaces with such properties have been considered in [1], [5]-[7], [10], [11], [22], [28], [31], where with the exception of [10], the given space R is the set of real-numbers with the usual topology. Obviously, for a countable space, connectedness is equivalent to the property that every continuous real-valued map is constant. Countable connected (locally connected) spaces have been constructed in papers [2]-[4], [8], [9], [11]-[21], [23]-[26], [30].
