Borel measures in consonant spaces

A topology T on a set X is called consonant if the Scott topology of the lattice T is compactly generated; equivalently, if the upper Kuratowski topology and the co-compact topology on closed sets of X coincide. It is proved that every completely regular consonant space is a Prohorov space, and that every first countable regular consonant space is hereditarily Baire. If X is metrizable separable and co-analytic, then X is consonant if and only if X is Polish. Finally, we prove that every pseudocompact topological group which is consonant is compact. Several problems of Dolecki, Greco and Lechicki, of Nogura and Shakmatov, are solved.
