The existence of n-shape theory for arbitrary compacta
Rolando Jimenez
Leonard R. Rubin
Abstract
Shape theory is an extension of homotopy theory which uses the idea of homotopy in its conception. By comparision, the theory of n-shape, which heretofore only has been defined for metrizable compacta, has as its basic notion that of n-homotopy instead of homotopy. We shall demonstrate that the theory of n-shape extends to the class of all Hausdorff compacta.
