Jul 21, 2010 at 18:26 comment added Gerald Edgar I guess what I was remembering has $X$ and $Y$ compact.
Jul 21, 2010 at 15:48 comment added Henno Brandsma Indeed Henrik. We need f to be closed and surjective, and X,Y to be normal (which is pretty mild). The theorem then states that $\dim(Y) \le \dim(X) + (k-1)$ whenever all fibres have size at most $k$.
Jul 21, 2010 at 11:56 comment added HenrikRüping Maybe there is a condition like $f$ is open missing. For any space $Y$, one can consider $id_Y:Y\rightarrow Y$, where the first $Y$ is equipped with the discrete topology. Then it is bijective, the first space is zero dimensional and $Y$ could be of any dimension. Am I missing something ?
