Compact maps and quasi-finite complexes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The simplest condition characterizing quasi-finite CW complexes K is the implication for all paracompact spaces X. Here are the main results of the paper: Theorem: If KssinS is a family of pointed quasi-finite complexes, then their wedge is quasi-finite. Theorem: If K1 and K2 are quasi-finite countable complexes, then their join K1astK2 is quasi-finite. Theorem: For every quasi-finite CW complex K there is a family KssinS of countable CW complexes such that is quasi-finite and is equivalent, over the class of paracompact spaces, to K. Theorem: Two quasi-finite CW complexes K and L are equivalent over the class of paracompact spaces if and only if they are equivalent over the class of compact metric spaces. Quasi-finite CW complexes lead naturally to the concept of XaumathcalF, where mathcalF is a family of maps between CW complexes. We generalize some well-known results of extension theory using that concept.
