Injective objects in the category of stratified spaces (Q2399413)

The aim of the paper is to show the existence of absolute extensors in the category of stratified spaces (\({\mathcal S}\)-category), and study their connection with the absolute extensors in the category of generalized filtered spaces (\(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-category). Three kinds of absolute extensors are considered in this paper: \({\mathcal S}\)-A[N]E, \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-A[N]E, and stratified \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-A[N]E. Every stratified \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-AE is an \({\mathcal S}\)-AE and also an \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-AE. The authors show that there exists a stratified \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-AE (and hence an \({\mathcal S}\)-AE). Using this result, they show that every \({\mathcal S}\)-AE space is a stratified \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-AE space (and hence an \(\overline{\mathcal N}\)-AE space). Moreover, they show that every \({\mathcal S}\)-AE space is \({\mathcal S}\)-contractible and that every \({\mathcal S}\)-ANE space is locally \({\mathcal S}\)-contractible.
