Universal nowhere dense subsets of locally compact manifolds

Taras Banakh and Dušan Repovš

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 13 (2013) 3687–3731
Abstract

In each manifold M modeled on a finite- or infinite-dimensional cube [0,1]n, n ω, we construct a closed nowhere dense subset S M (called a spongy set) which is a universal nowhere dense set in M in the sense that for each nowhere dense subset A M there is a homeomorphism h: M M such that h(A) S. The key tool in the construction of spongy sets is a theorem on the topological equivalence of certain decompositions of manifolds. A special case of this theorem says that two vanishing cellular strongly shrinkable decompositions A, of a Hilbert cube manifold M are topologically equivalent if any two nonsingleton elements A A and B of these decompositions are ambiently homeomorphic.
