Study local properties of homogeneous ANR-spaces, proving dimension full-valuedness.

The paper characterizes $G$-ANR spaces and their properties.

Spaces are classified as almost homology n-manifolds if their homology groups are trivial for all but the last dimension.

Survey of recent results on homogeneous finite-dimensional spaces.

We define the LS-category cat_g by means of covers of a space by general subsets, and show that this definition coincides with the classical Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for compact metric ANR spaces. We apply this result to give short dimension theoretic proofs of the Grossman-Whitehead theorem and Dranishnikov's t…

The homological dimension $d_G$ of metric compacta was introduced by Alexandroff. In this paper we provide some general properties of $d_G$, mainly with an eye towards describing the dimensional full-valuedness of compact metric spaces. As a corollary of the established properties of $d_G$, we prove that any two-dimens…

Let $M$ be a complete metric $ANR$-space such that for any metric compactum $K$ the function space $C(K,M)$ contains a dense set of Bing (resp., Krasinkiewicz) maps. It is shown that $M$ has the following property: If $f\colon X\to Y$ is a perfect surjection between metric spaces, then $C(X,M)$ with the source limitati…

We specify a result of Yokoi \cite{yo} by proving that if $G$ is an abelian group and $X$ is a homogeneous metric $ANR$ compactum with $\dim_GX=n$ and $\check{H}^n(X;G)\neq 0$, then $X$ is an $(n,G)$-bubble. This implies that any such space $X$ has the following properties: $\check{H}^{n-1}(A;G)\neq 0$ for every closed…

We say that a metrizable space $M$ is a Krasinkiewicz space if any map from a metrizable compactum $X$ into $M$ can be approximated by Krasinkiewicz maps (a map $g\colon X\to M$ is Krasinkiewicz provided every continuum in $X$ is either contained in a fiber of $g$ or contains a component of a fiber of $g$). In this pap…

We introduce and investigate the notion of (strong) $K^n_G$-manifolds, where $G$ is an abelian group. One of the result related to that notion (Theorem 3.4) implies the following partial answer to the Bing-Borsuk problem \cite{bb}, whether any partition of a homogeneous metric $ANR$-space $X$ of dimension $n$ is cyclic…
