The Baire-category method in some compact extension problems

Elżbieta Pol

Vol. 122 (1986), No. 1, 197–210
Abstract

We characterize metrizable separable spaces X such that almost every, in the sense of Baire category, embedding h of X into the Hilbert cube Iω provides a compact extension h(X) such that the remainder h(X) h(X) has certain dimensional property (for instance, is n-dimensional, countable-dimensional or “metrically weakly infinite-dimensional”). We obtain a characterization of metrizable separable spaces which have large transfinite dimension by means of compactifications. Two examples related to the results mentioned above are constructed.
