Residuality of the set of embeddings into Nagata's n-dimensional universal spaces
Every crowded space is -resolvable in the c.c.c. generic extension of the ground model. We investigate what we can say about -resolvability in c.c.c. generic extensions for . A topological space is monotonically -resolvable if there is a function such that for each . We show that given a space the following statements are equivalent: (1) is -resolvable in some c.c.c. generic extension; (2) is monotonically -resolvable; (3) is -resolvable in the Cohen-generic extension ....
We construct in ZFC a cosmic space that, despite being the union of countably many metrizable subspaces, has covering dimension equal to 1 and inductive dimensions equal to 2.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 54C55, 54H25, 55M20.We introduce the class of algebraic ANRs. It is defined by replacing continuous maps by chain mappings in Lefschetz’s characterization of ANRs. To a large extent, the theory of algebraic ANRs parallels the classical theory of ANRs. Every ANR is an algebraic ANR, but the class of algebraic ANRs is much larger; the most striking difference between these classes is that every locally equiconnected metrisable space is an algebraic ANR, whereas...
