Let X be a topological group or a convex set in a linear metric space. We prove that X is homeomorphic to (a manifold modeled on) an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space if and only if X is a completely metrizable absolute (neighborhood) retract with ω-LFAP, the countable locally finite approximation property. The latter means that for any open cover 𝒰 of X there is a sequence of maps (f n: X → X)nεgw such that each f n is 𝒰 -near to the identity map of X and the family f n(X)n∈ω is locally finite in X. Also we show that a metrizable space X of density dens(X) < 𝔡 is a Hilbert manifold if X has gw-LFAP and each closed subset A ⊂ X of density dens(A) < dens(X) is a Z ∞-set in X.

The latter means that for any open cover \[ \mathcal {U} \] of X there is a sequence of maps (f n: X → X)nεgw such that each f n is \[ \mathcal {U} \] -near to the identity map of X and the family f n(X)n∈ω is locally finite in X.
