Movability and limits of polyhedra

V. Laguna, M. Moron, Nhu Nguyen, J. Sanjurjo (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We define a metric d S , called the shape metric, on the hyperspace 2 X of all non-empty compact subsets of a metric space X. Using it we prove that a compactum X in the Hilbert cube is movable if and only if X is the limit of a sequence of polyhedra in the shape metric. This fact is applied to show that the hyperspace ( 2 2 , dS) i s s e p a r a b l e .

Multifibrations. A class of shape fibrations with the path lifting property

Antonio Giraldo, José M. R. Sanjurjo (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we introduce a class of maps possessing a multivalued homotopy lifting property with respect to every topological space. We call these maps multifibrations and they represent a formally stronger concept than that of shape fibration. Multifibrations have the interesting property of being characterized in a completely intrinsic way by a path lifting property involving only the total and the base space of the fibration. We also show that multifibrations (and also, with some restrictions,...
