Movability of maps and shape fibrations. II (Q1822373)

The paper under review is a continuation of the author's earlier papers in Glas. Mat., III. Ser. 21(41), 153-177 (1986; Zbl 0607.55004) \((= Part\) I) and Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 96, 689-692 (1986; Zbl 0591.54012). Its main results are the following two theorems: Theorem 1.1. Suppose X is a finite dimensional ANR and \(f: X\to Y\) is a completely movable map. Then Y is an ANR if and only if Y is finite dimensional. Theorem 1.2. Suppose X is an ANR and \(f: X\to Y\) is a proper surjective shape fibration. If Y is semi-locally contractible, then Y is an ANR. Theorem 1.1 is a consequence of the following two statements: Proposition 3.4. Let X be an n-dimensional ANR and \(f: X\to Y\) a proper map. Then f is completely movable iff f is n-movable. Corollary 3.5. Let X be an n-dimensional ANR and \(f: X\to Y\) an n-movable map. Then Y is an ANR iff dim \(Y\leq n\). Theorem 1.2 follows from Proposition 2.3(ii): [If X is an ANR and \(f: X\to Y\) is locally shape trivial, then Y is an ANR] and a theorem of Kato on shape fibrations.
