It was proved by H. Whitney in 1933 that a Serre fibration of compact metric spaces admits a global section provided every fiber is homeomorphic to the unit interval [0,1]. Results of this paper extend Whitney theorem to the case when all fibers are homeomorphic to a given compact two-dimensional manifold.
It was proved by H. Whitney in 1933 that a Serre fibration of compact metric spaces admits a global section provided every fiber is homeomorphic to the unit interval [0,1]. An extension of the Whitney's theorem to the case when all fibers are homeomorphic to some fixed compact two-dimensional manifold was proved by the authors \cite{BCS}. The main result of this paper proves the existence of local sections in a Serre fibration with all fibers homeomorphic to some fixed compact three-dimensional manifold.
It was proved by H. Whitney in 1933 that it is possible to mark a point in all curves in a continuous way. The main result of this paper extends the Whitney theorem to dimensions 2 and 3. Namely, we prove that it is possible to choose a point continuously in all two-dimensional surfaces sufficiently close to a given surface, and in all 3-manifolds sufficiently close to a given 3-manifold.
We prove a new selection theorem for multivalued mappings of C-space. Using this theorem we prove extension dimensional version of Hurewicz theorem for a closed mapping $f\colon X\to Y$ of $k$-space $X$ onto paracompact $C$-space $Y$: if for finite $CW$-complex $M$ we have $\ed Y\le [M]$ and for every point $y\in Y$ and every compactum $Z$ with $\ed Z\le [M]$ we have $\ed(f^{-1}(y)\times Z)\le [L]$ for some $CW$-complex $L$, then $\ed X\le [L]$.
Let $L$ be a countable CW-complex and $F\colon X\to Y$ be upper semicontinuous $UV^{[L]}$-valued mapping of a paracompact space $X$ to a complete metric space $Y$. We prove that if $X$ is a C-space of extension dimension $\ed X \le [L]$, then $F$ admits single-valued graph approximations. For $L=S^n$ our result implies well-known approximation theorem for $UV^{n-1}$-valued mappings of $n$-dimensional spaces. And for $L=\{\rm point\}$ our theorem implies a theorem of Ancel on approximations of $UV^\infty$-valued mappings of C-spaces.
We prove extension-dimensional versions of finite dimensional selection and approximation theorems. As applications, we obtain several results on extension dimension.
