We show that the Cartesian product of three hereditarily infinite-dimensional compact metric spaces is never hereditarily infinite-dimensional. It is quite surprising that the proof of this fact (and this is the only proof known to the author) essentially relies on algebraic topology.
We prove a Z-set unknotting theorem for Nöbeling spaces.
A countable CW complex K is quasi-finite (as defined by A. Karasev) if for every finite subcomplex M of K there is a finite subcomplex e(M) such that any map f: A → M, where A is closed in a separable metric space X satisfying XτK, has an extension g: X → e(M). Levin's results imply that none of the Eilenberg-MacLane spaces K(G,2) is quasi-finite if G ≠ 0. In this paper we discuss quasi-finiteness of all Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. More generally, we deal with CW complexes with finitely many...
The Borsuk-Sieklucki theorem says that for every uncountable family of n-dimensional closed subsets of an n-dimensional ANR-compactum, there exist α ≠ β such that . In this paper we show a cohomological version of that theorem: Theorem. Suppose a compactum X is , where n ≥ 1, and G is an Abelian group. Let be an uncountable family of closed subsets of X. If for all α ∈ J, then for some α ≠ β. For G being a countable principal ideal domain the above result was proved by Choi and Kozlowski...
We define Peano covering maps and prove basic properties analogous to classical covers. Their domain is always locally path-connected but the range may be an arbitrary topological space. One of characterizations of Peano covering maps is via the uniqueness of homotopy lifting property for all locally path-connected spaces. Regular Peano covering maps over path-connected spaces are shown to be identical with generalized regular covering maps introduced by Fischer and Zastrow....
Some theorems characterizing the metric and covering dimension of arbitrary subspaces in a Euclidean space will be obtained in terms of -translations; some of them were proved in our previous paper [G1] under the additional assumption of the boundedness of subspaces.
It is shown that for every n ≥ 2 there exists an n-dimensional locally connected Polish space with Dimensionsgrad 1.
We show that the homological dimension of a configuration space of a graph Γ is estimated from above by the number b of vertices in Γ whose valence is greater than 2. We show that this estimate is optimal for the n-point configuration space of Γ if n ≥ 2b.
We present an approach to cohomological dimension theory based on infinite symmetric products and on the general theory of dimension called the extension dimension. The notion of the extension dimension ext-dim(X) was introduced by A. N. Dranishnikov [9] in the context of compact spaces and CW complexes. This paper investigates extension types of infinite symmetric products SP(L). One of the main ideas of the paper is to treat ext-dim(X) ≤ SP(L) as the fundamental concept of cohomological dimension...
