Representability of semiexact functors on the category of pointed cellular spaces (Q1087183)

Brown's representability theorem states that every semiexact (contravariant) functor from the category [con CW\({}^.]\) of connected pointed cellular spaces to the category \(ENS^.\) of pointed sets is representable. In this paper the author studies the problem of the representability of a semiexact functor from the category \([CW^.]\) of pointed cellular spaces. At the beginning he constructs a nonrepresentable semiexact functor F: [CW\({}^.]\to ENS^.\). (Theorem 1 and Corollary). This proves that Brown's theorem is not true on the category \([CW^.]\). Secondly, a theorem of representability of every semiexact functor F: [CW\({}^.]\to GROUPS\), where GROUPS is the category of groups, is proved (Theorem 2).
