Continuous maps between compact Hausdorff spaces and their induced maps on their space of continuous...
$begingroup$
Let $X,Y$ be two compact Hausdorff spaces and let $ alpha: X to Y$ be continuous onto map. Let $alpha^{*}$ be the induced map from $C(Y)$ to $C(X)$ by mapping any $f in C(Y)$ to $f circ alpha in C(X)$.
First, is it true that the map $alpha^{*}$ is surjective?
Second, if my first proposition is not always true, then if we substitute "Compact Hausdorff space" with "extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff space", is my first proposition always true? Why?
Thanks.

$alpha^*$ will never be surjective unless $alpha$ is injective. Just pick some point $y$ with more than one preimage, and construct a function which is 1 on one of those preimage points and 0 on another: this cannot be the pullback of a function on $Y$.

And if $alpha$ is injective it is a homeomorphism from $X$ to $alpha[X]$ and we can show that $alpha^ast$ is surjective.

@MikeMiller I was reading an article in American mathematical monthly, in that was said if $alpha: X to Y$ is continuous onto map from an extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff space to a compact Hausdorff space then $alpha^{*}$ is a norm isomorphism between their space of functions. :-?

Suppose that $Y$ is a point and $X$ is $S^n$ for example, $fcirc alpha$ is always constant, there are non constant functions on $S^n$.
