We survey a family of interrelated open questions that link classical completeness theories of John C. Oxtoby, Gustave Choquet, and Johannes de Groot to the newer area of domain-representable topological spaces. 1. Introduction We will say that a topological property P is a strong completeness property provided any topological product of spaces each having property P will be a Baire space. The goal of this paper is to show how some open questions about the strong completeness properties studied by John C. Oxtoby, Gustave Choquet, and Johannes de Groot and his Amsterdam colleagues in the 1960s and 1970s are closely related to questions from the relatively new ¯eld of domain representability of topological spaces. In section 2, we remind the reader of some classical completeness properties and questions. In section 3, we give a brief sketch of what topologists need to know about domain theory, and in section 4, we present the basic topology of domain-representable spaces. In section 5, we describe questions about domain representable spaces 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi¯cation.
