Extending equivariant maps into spaces with convex structure (Q2577117)

A space with pleasant local convexity properties is an absolute neighborhood extensor. Results of this kind are going back to J. Dugundji. This is developed by the author for \(G\)-spaces, where \(G\) is a compact Lie group. For that purpose the author defines a \(G\)-convex resp. a local \(G\)-convex structure on a \(G\)-space \(Y\) (determining a \(G\)-CS, resp. a \(G\)-LCS space). The main results of the present paper are: (1) Let \(G\) be a compact Lie group, then every \(G\)-LCS space is a \(G\)-ANE (= \(G\)-absolute neighborhood extensor). (2) Suppose \(X\) is a \(G\)-CS space, with a \(G\) fixed point, then \(X\) is a \(G\)-AE (= \(G\)-absolute extensor). In a last section the author presents several examples.
