Leonard R. Rubin

Abstract

Let be an infinite cardinal, denote a class of CW-complexes, the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces, the class of all metrizable spaces of weight and n 0. We shall prove that,

(a) if U is a universal metrizable space of covering dimension n and weight , then ext-dim_(, ) U = [Sn], and

(b) if U , K , dim U K, and U contains a copy of every compact metrizable space X with dim X K, then ext-dim_(, ) U = [K].
