Local cohomological properties of homogeneous ANR compacta
In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture, we show that if X is an n-dimensional homogeneous metric ANR continuum and x ∈ X, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the cohomological properties of Ū and bd U are similar to the properties of the closed ball ⁿ ⊂ ℝⁿ and its boundary . We also prove that a metric ANR compactum X of dimension n is dimensionally full-valued if and only if the group Hₙ(X,X∖x;ℤ) is not trivial for some x ∈ X. This implies that...
