Cohomological dimension with respect to perfect groups (Q675111): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the class of compacta with cohomological dimension one, with respect to perfect groups. In particular, they prove that there exist certain compacta, alled Cannon-Stan'ko compacta, of arbitrarily high dimension. A compactum \(X\) is said to be a Cannon-Stan'ko compactum provided that the cohomological dimension of \(X\) is at most one, with respect to the fundamental group of a minimal group, which is the direct limit of 2-polyhedra, which are constructed by attaching two 1-handles to each 1-handle pair of generators of the one-dimensional homology of the previous complex, and that the genus of the initial complex is one. Finally, they prove that the weakly Cainian compacta are precisely the two-dimensional Cannon-Stan'ko compacta.
