Abstract

The purpose of this short note is to prove the following theorem. Let X be a hereditarily normal paracompact Hausdorff space, K be a simplicial complex, and : X K be a function. Suppose that {U | } and {f | } are collections such that for each , f is a map of U to |K|, and if x U, then f(x) (x). Assume further that {U | } is an open cover of X. Then there exists a map f : X |K| such that for each x X, f(x) (x).
