Shape theory of maps.

Zvonko Cerin (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We shall describe a modification of homotopy theory of maps which we call shape theory of maps. This is accomplished by constructing the shape category of maps HMb. The category HMb is built using multi-valued functions. Its objects are maps of topological spaces while its morphisms are homotopy classes of collections of pairs of multi-valued functions which we call multi-binets. Various authors have previously given other descriptions of shape categories of maps. Our description is intrinsic in...

Spaces with fibered approximation property in dimension n

Taras Banakh, Vesko Valov (2010)

Open Mathematics

A metric space M is said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension n (briefly, M ∈ FAP(n)) if for any ɛ > 0, m ≥ 0 and any map g: 𝕀 m × 𝕀 n → M there exists a map g′: 𝕀 m × 𝕀 n → M such that g′ is ɛ-homotopic to g and dim g′ (z × 𝕀 n) ≤ n for all z ∈ 𝕀 m. The class of spaces having the FAP(n)-property is investigated in this paper. The main theorems are applied to obtain generalizations of some results due to Uspenskij [11] and Tuncali-Valov [10].

Strong Cohomological Dimension

Jerzy Dydak, Akira Koyama (2008)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We characterize strong cohomological dimension of separable metric spaces in terms of extension of mappings. Using this characterization, we discuss the relation between strong cohomological dimension and (ordinal) cohomological dimension and give examples to clarify their gaps. We also show that I n d G X = d i m G X if X is a separable metric ANR and G is a countable Abelian group. Hence d i m X = d i m X for any separable metric ANR X.
