Extending maps in Hilbert manifolds

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The aim of the paper is to prove that if M is a metrizable manifold modelled on a Hilbert space of dimension alphageqaleph0 and F is its sigma-Z-set, then for every completely metrizable space X of weight no greater than alpha and its closed subset A, for any map f:XoM, each open cover mathcalU of M and a sequnce (An)n of closed subsets of X disjoint from A there is a map g:XoM mathcalU-homotopic to f such that , is a closed embedding for each n and g(XsetminusA) is a sigma-Z-set in M disjoint from F. It is shown that if f(partialA) is contained in a locally closed sigma-Z-set in M or , the map g may be taken so that be an embedding. If, in addition, XsetminusA is a connected manifold modelled on the same Hilbert space as M and is a Z-set in M, then there is a mathcalU-homotopic to f map h:XoM such that and is an open embedding.


Let \(X\) be a completely metrizable space, \(A\) a closed subset of \(X\), \(M\) a manifold modelled on Hilbert space of weight \(\alpha\), and \(f:X\to M\) a continuous map. The author gives conditions under which \(f\) is approximable by maps \(g\) such that \(f|A=g|A\) and \(g|X\setminus A\) is a \(\sigma Z\)-embedding of \(X\setminus A\) into \(M\). In case \(X\setminus A\) is a manifold of weight \(\alpha\) modelled on the same Hilbert space as \(M\), he gives conditions under which \(f\) can be approximated by maps \(h\) such that \(h|A=f|A\) and \(h|X\setminus A\) is an open embedding.
