Homotopy properties of locally compact spaces at infinity-calmness and smoothness

Zvonko Cerin

Vol. 79 (1978), No. 1, 69–91
Abstract

We define two properties of noncompact locally compact spaces called 𝒞-calmness at and (𝒞,𝒟)-smoothness at for arbitrary classes of topological spaces 𝒞 and 𝒟. A number of theorems and examples concerning these properties are given. By considering complements of Z-sets in the Hilbert cube from them we get three new shape invariant conditions for compact metric spaces named calmness, n-calmness, and n-smoothness. Calmness is a movability type condition while n-smoothness implies that (and under some additional assumptions is also implied by) the k-th shape pro-group of a compactum in question is trivial, for all k > n.
