66 2 Fundamental Results on Infinite-Dimensional Manifolds

Without assuming the completeness ofX = (X, d),X can be embedded isometrically into some normed linear space L with densX = densL as a closed set. In this case, we have X×Πf

1L ≈Πf

1L. Thus, the general case also holds. ⊓⊔

As a corollary, we have the following:

Corollary 2.2.12 For an arbitrary infinite set Γ,ℓ1(Γ)N≈ℓ1(Γ).

Proof. Sinceℓ1(Γ)Nis a completely metrizable AR, we have ℓ1(Γ)N≈ℓ1(Γ)N×ℓ1(Γ)≈ℓ1(Γ).

Recall that the metrizable cone C(X) over a metrizable space X is the space {0} ∪ (X ×(0,1]) with the topology generated by open sets in the product space X×(0,1] and sets {0} ∪(X×(0, ε)), ε∈ (0,1). If X is compact, thenC(X) is homeomorphic to the quotient space (X×I)/(X×{0}), which is the usual cone. Themetrizable open coneoverX is the subspace {0} ∪(X×(0,1)) of C(X) and denoted byCo(X). It should be noted that if X is completely metrizable, then so are C(X) andCo(X). Moreover, the coneC(X) and the open coneCo(X) over an ANRX are ARs by Corollary 1.8.14.

By using the metrizable open cone, we can easily prove the following the-orem, which is also called the Toru´nczyk Factor Theorem:

Theorem 2.2.13 (Toru´nczyk) For every completely metrizable ANR X withw(X)6τ,X×ℓ1(Γ)is anℓ1(Γ)-manifold. In fact,X×ℓ1(Γ)is home-omorphic to an open set inℓ1(Γ).

Proof. As mentioned above, the open coneCo(X) is a completely metrizable AR and clearly w(Co(X))6τ. Then, Co(X)×ℓ1(Γ)≈ℓ1(Γ) by the above Theorem 2.2.11. Sinceℓ1(Γ)×(0,1)≈ℓ1(Γ),X×ℓ1(Γ) is homeomorphic to the open set (0,1)×X ×ℓ1(Γ) in Co(X)×ℓ1(Γ). Thus,X ×ℓ1(Γ) can be embedded inℓ1(Γ) as an open set, hence it is anℓ1(Γ)-manifold. ⊓⊔

2.3 Stability and Deficiency 67 we prove that every E-manifold isE-stable, and observe some properties of E-deficient sets.

First, we introduce the reduced products, which will also be used in the following sections. Let X and Y be spaces and Abe a closed set in X. The product ofX andY reduced overAis the space

(X×Y)A=(

(X\A)×Y)

∪A,

with the topology generated by open sets in the product space (X\A)×Y

and sets (

(U \A)×Y)

∪(U∩A),

where U is open in X. Then, the projection prX : X ×Y → X is factored through (X ×Y)A into two natural maps qA : X ×Y → (X ×Y)A and pA: (X×Y)A→X defined by

{qA|(X\A)×Y = id, qA|A×Y = prA and

{pA|(X\A)×Y = prX\A, pA|A= id.

Thus, we have the following commutative diagram:

X×Y prX //

The topology of (X×Y)A is the coarsest topology such that the map pA is continuous and the product space (X\A)×Y is its subspace. By the Bing Metrization Theorem 1.3.4, ifX andY are metrizable then (X×Y)Ais also metrizable. In caseY is compact, (X×Y)Ais homeomorphic to the adjunction spaceA∪prA(X×Y), where prA:A×Y →Ais the projection. It should be also remarked that (I×X){0} is naturally homeomorphic to the (metrizable) coneC(X), so we sometimes regard C(X) = (I×X){0}.

To prove the stability of E-manifolds, our main tool is the coordinate switching pseudo-isotopy. For simplicity, we use the following notational con-vention:

• Given a spaceX, letX denoteX×ENorX×EfNdepending onE≈EN orE ≈EfN, and let p0:X→X andpn :X →X×En,n∈N, be the projections. Additionally, letX0=X× {0} ⊂X.

We define a homotopyθE:X×E×I→Xas follows: For (x, y1, y2, . . .)∈ X (x∈X,yi∈E,i∈N) andz∈E,

68 2 Fundamental Results on Infinite-Dimensional Manifolds θ1E(x, y1, y2, . . . , z) = (x, z,−y1,−y2, . . .), θ2E−1(x, y1, y2, . . . , z) = (x, y1, z,−y2,−y3, . . .),

...

θE2−n(x, y1, y2, . . . , z) = (x, y1, . . . , yn, z,−yn+1,−yn+2, . . .), θE2−(n+1)(x, y1, y2, . . . , z) = (x, y1, . . . , yn, yn+1, z, ,−yn+2, . . .),

...

θ0E(x, y1, y2, . . . , z) = (x, y1, y2, . . .) and for 2−(n+1)6t62−n,

θEt(x, y1, y2, . . . , z) = (x, y1, . . . , yn,

zcosπ(1−2nt) +yn+1sinπ(1−2nt), zsinπ(1−2nt)−yn+1cosπ(1−2nt),

−yn+2,−yn+3, . . .).

Then, it should be remarked that

(♮) θEt(x,0) =xfor eachx∈X0andt∈I.

(♯) t62−n⇒pnθEt =pnprX.

In addition,θE induces a homeomorphism ˜θE :X×E×(0,1]→X×(0,1]

defined by

θ˜E(x, y, z, t) = (θE(x, y, z, t), t)

for each (x, y)∈X,z∈E, andt∈(0,1].

This means that (θE)−1t : X →X×E is also continuous with respect to t∈(0,1]. We callθE thecoordinate switching pseudo-isotopyforX.

Given a mapτ :X→I, we define a mapθτE: (X×E)τ−1(0)→X by θEτ−1(0) = id and θτE(w, z) =θEτ(w)(w, z) if τ(w)̸= 0.

Then, by (♮), the following is satisfied:

θEτ(x,0) =x for everyx∈X0−1(0).

The continuity of θEτ at w∈τ−1(0) follows from (♯). Indeed, each neighbor-hood U ofθEτ(w) =win X containsp−1n (V), whereV is an open neighbor-hood of pn(w) inX×En. Then, the following is an open neighborhood ofw in (X×E)τ−1(0):

W =(

(p−1n (V)∩τ−1((0,2−n)))×E)

∪(p−1n (V)∩τ−1(0)).

2.3 Stability and Deficiency 69 SincepnθEτ−1((0,2−n)) =pnprX−1((0,2−n)) by (♯), we have

θEτ((p−1n (V)∩τ−1((0,2−n)))×E)⊂p−1n (V).

Hence, it follows thatθτE(W)⊂p−1n (V)⊂U.

Lemma 2.3.1 Let τ : X →I be a map. SupposeX−1(0) = ∪

n∈NDn

for some ∅=D0⊂D1⊂ · · · such that (1) τ(w)62−n−1 for eachw∈X\Dn and (2) w∈Dn, pn(w) =pn(w)⇒τ(w) =τ(w).

Then, θEτ is a homeomorphism.

Proof. For simplicity, letA=τ−1(0). First, observe the following two facts:

(3) τ(θEτ(w, z)) =τ(w) for each (w, z)∈(X\A)×E.

(4) τ(prXτ(w)E )−1(w)) =τ(w) for each w∈X\A.

(3): Let (w, z) ∈(X\A)×E. Then, w ∈ Dn\Dn−1 for some n∈ N, whenceτ(w)62−n by (1). Thus, it follows from (♯) that

pnEτ(w, z)) =pnθEτ(w)(w, z) =pnprX(w, z) =pn(w), which impliesτ(θEτ(w, z)) =τ(w) by (2).

(4): Eachw∈X\Ais contained in someDn\Dn−1. In the same way as the above, we havepnθEτ(w)=pnprX. Then,pn(w) =pn(prXEτ(w))−1(w)), which impliesτ(prXτ(w)E )−1(w)) =τ(w) by (2).

Now, we define ηEτ : X → (X ×E)A by ητE|A = id and ητE(w) = (θEτ(w))−1(w) forw∈X\A(=X−1(0)). Then, by (4),

w∈X\A ⇒ ητE(w) = (θEτ(w))−1(w)∈(X\A)×E= (X×E)A\A.

Sinceτ(prXητE(w)) =τ(w) forw∈X\A, it is easy to see that ητEθEτ = id andθτEητE= id, namely thatητE is the inverse ofθEτ.

The continuity ofητE remains to be proved. It follows from the continuity of (˜θE)−1 that ηEτ is continuous at each point ofX\A. We shall show the continuity of ητE at w∈A. Each neighborhood of w=ηEτ(w) in (X×E)A

contains (W ∩A)∪((W \A)×E) for some open neighborhood W of w in X. We can findn∈ Nand an open neighborhoodW0 ofpn(w) in X×En such that p−1n (W0) ⊂ W. Then, V = p−1n (W0)∩τ−1([0,2−n)) is an open neighborhood ofwin X. Moreover,

ητE(V)⊂(W ∩A)∪((W \A)×E).

Indeed,ητE(V ∩A) =V ∩A⊂p−1n (W0)∩A⊂W∩A. For eachv∈V \A, we writeητE(v) = (θEτ(v))−1(v) = (v, z)∈(X\A)×E. Sinceτ(v) =τ(v)<2−n by (4), it follows from (♯) that

pn(v) =pnθEτ(v)(v, z) =pnθτ(v)E (v, z) =pn(v)∈W0, hencev ∈W\A. Thus, we haveητE(v) = (v, z)∈(W \A)×E. ⊓⊔

Lemma 2.3.2 Let X be an E-stable perfectly normal space, A be an E-deficient set, A0 ⊂A1 be closed sets, and W be an open set in X such that cl(A1\A0)⊂W. Then, there is a homeomorphismh: (X×E)A0 →(X×E)A1

such that

(1) h(x,0) = (x,0)for each x∈A\A1, (2) h(x,0) =xfor each x∈A∩(A1\A0), and (3) h|(X\(A0∪W))×E∪A0= id.

Proof. Since X ×E ≈ X and E ≈ EN or E ≈ EfN, we may replace X by X, where A can be regarded as a subset of X0 =X × {0} ⊂X because A is E-deficient. For j = 0,1, we shall construct maps τj : X → I and

∅ =Dj0 ⊂ D1j ⊂ · · · so that Xj−1(0) =∪

n∈NDnj and those satisfy the conditions of Lemma 2.3.1 and the following additional conditions:

(4) τ0|X\W =τ1|X\W andτ0−1(0) =A0⊂A11−1(0).

Then, we would have homeomorphismsθτEj : (X×E)Ai→X,j= 0,1, that satisfy the following:

(5) θEτj(x,0) =xfor everyx∈X0\Aj, (6) θEτj|Aj= idAj, and

(7) θEτ0|(X\(A0∪W))×E=θτE1|(X\(A0∪W))×E.

Then,h= (θEτ1)−1θEτ0 is the desired homeomorphism. — Fig. 2.5

We denoteA2=A0∪(X\W). Then,X\A2=W \A0. Now, we take Bi ∈ cov(X\Ai), i = 1,2, which consist of basic open sets inX.8 Here,

8 I.e., open setsp−1n (U),n∈N, whereU is open inX×En.

2.3 Stability and Deficiency 71 B ⊂ X is said to be n-basic if p−1n (pn(B)) = B. Note that each n-basic subset ofXism-basic for everym>n. For eachn∈N, let

Bi[n]=∪ { B∈ Bi

B isn-basic}

, i= 1,2.

Then, Bi[n] isn-basic andpn(Bi[n]) is open inX×En. Since X×En≈X is perfectly normal, we have a mapki,n:X×En→Isuch that

k−1i,n(0) = (X×En)\pn(Bi[n]) =pn(X\B[n]i ).

For eachm∈N, letDni,m=k−1i,n([1/m,1]). Then,pn(B[n]i ) =∪

m∈NDi,mn , each Dni,m is closed inX×En, andDni,m⊂intDi,m+1n . For eachn∈N, we define

D[n]i =∪ {

p−1m (Dmi,n)m6n}

, i= 1,2.

Observe that eachDi[n]isn-basic,D[n]i ⊂intD[n+1]i , and∪

n∈ND[n]i =X\Ai. For eachn∈N, let

Hi[n]=D[n]i \intDi[n−1], i= 1,2, whereD[0]i =∅. Then, it follows that

n∈N

Hi[n]= ∪

n∈N

D[n]i =X\Ai, X\Di[n] ⊂Ai∪ ∪

m>n

Hi[m] and Hi[n]∩Hi[n+1]= bdD[n]i for eachn∈N.

Moreover,Hi[m]∩Hi[n] =∅if|m−n|>1. Sincepn(bdD[n]i ) andpn(bdD[n−1]i ) are disjoint closed sets in pn(Hi[n]), we can take maps τi[n] : pn(Hi[n]) → [2−n−1,2−n],i= 1,2, such that

τi[n](pn(bdD[n]i )) = 2−n−1 and τi[n](pn(bdD[n−1]i )) = 2−n. We defineτi:X→I,i= 1,2, as follows:

τi(Ai) = 0 and τi|Hi[n]i[n]pn|Hi[n].

It is easy to see that τi is continuous at each point of X\Ai. To verify the continuity ofτiatx∈Ai, for eachε >0, choosen∈Nso that 2−n< ε. Then, U =X\D[n]i is a neighborhood ofxinX. Note thatU\Ai ⊂∪

m>nHi[m]. Ify∈U\Ai, then y∈Hi[m] for some m > n, hence

τi(y) =τi[m]pm(y)62−m<2−n< ε.

72 2 Fundamental Results on Infinite-Dimensional Manifolds

Therefore,τi(U)⊂[0, ε). It follows from the definitions thatτi and (Di[n])n∈N

satisfy the conditions of Lemma 2.3.1. Moreover,τi−1(0) =Ai.

For each n ∈ N, let D[n]0 =D[n]1 ∪D2[n]. Define τ0 : X → I byτ0(x) = max{τ1(x), τ2(x)}. Then, τj and (Dj[n])n∈N, j = 0,1, satisfy the required conditions. Indeed,τ0−1(0) =τ1−1(0)∩τ2−1(0) =A1∩A2=A0. SinceX\W ⊂ A2 = τ2−1(0), τ0(x) = τ1(x) for each x ∈ X \W, that is, τ0|X \W = τ1|X\W. Thus, those satisfy condition (4). Finally, using the fact that τi

and (D[n]i )n∈N,i= 1,2, satisfy the conditions of Lemma 2.3.1, we can easily show that τ0 and (D[n]0 )n∈Nalso satisfy the same conditions. ⊓⊔

Remark 2.2 In the above proof, each x ∈ X \A1 is contained in some D[n]1 . Then, there is somem6nsuch that pm(x)∈D1,nm ⊂pm(B[m]1 ), hence x ∈ B1[m]. Thus, x is contained in some m-basic B ∈ B1. Since τ1(x) 6 2−m, it follows from (♯) that pmθE1(x)(x, z) = pm(x), so θE1(x)(x, z) ∈ B for every z ∈ E and t ∈ I where θ0E = prX. By choosing B1 to refine a given U ∈ cov(X\A1), the homeomorphism θτE1 : (X×E)A1 → X is U-homotopic to prX by the homotopyθE1,t ∈I. Recall that we have the natural mapqA1 :X×E→(X×E)A1 defined byqA1|(X\A1)×E= id andqA1|A1×E= prA1. Then,f =θτE1qA1 :X×E→Xis a map such that f|A1×E= prA1 andf|(X\A1)×Eis a homeomorphism ontoX\A1that isU-homotopic to prX\A1.

In this remark, for an open setU ⊂X, letA1 =X \U. Then, we have the following:

Proposition 2.3.3 LetX be anE-stable perfectly normal space,Abe an E-deficient set in X, and U be an open set in X. Then, for each open cover U of U, there exists a map f : X×E →X such that f(x,0) = xfor each x∈A∩U, f|(X\U)×E = prX\U andf|U ×E is a homeomorphism onto U that is U-homotopic toprU. ⊓⊔

Corollary 2.3.4 Let X be an E-stable perfectly normal space and A be an E-deficient set inX. Then, the following hold:

(i) Every open set inX isE-stable.

(ii) For each open setU inX,A∩U is E-deficient in U. (iii) The projectionprX:X×E→X is a near-homeomorphism.

(iv) For any open coverU of X, there is a homeomorphismf :X ×E →X such thatf(x,0) =xfor each x∈Aandf ≃UprX. ⊓⊔

Replacing E = (E,0) with a pointed space L = (L,∗), the L-stability and theL-deficiency are similarly defined, that is, a space X is L-stable if X×L≈X, and a subsetAofX isL-deficientif there is a homeomorphism h:X →X×Lsuch thath(A)⊂X× {∗}.

2.3 Stability and Deficiency 73 Corollary 2.3.5 Let X be an E-stable perfectly normal paracompact space, A be an E-deficient set in X, and L = (L,∗) be a pointed space such that E×L≈E. Then, for each open coverU ofX, there exists a homeomorphism h : X ×L → X such that h(x,∗) = x for each x ∈ A and h ≃U prX. Consequently, the projectionprX:X×L→X is a near-homeomorphism and every E-deficient set inX isL-deficient.

Proof. Letφ: E×L→E be a homeomorphism withφ(0,∗) =0. Since X is paracompact, there exists V ∈ cov(X) such that stV ≺ U. By Corollary 2.3.4(iv) above, we have a homeomorphismf :X×E→Xsuch thatf(x,0) = xfor eachx∈Aand f ≃V prX. Then, the desired homeomorphism h:X× L→X can be defined as the composition of the following homeomorphisms:

X×L f

−1×idL

//X×E×L idX×φ //X×E f //X

Indeed, it is easy to see that h(x,∗) =xfor eachx∈Aand

h≃V prX(idX×φ)(f−1×idL) = prX(f−1×idL) = prXf−1prX, where the same notation prX stands for three different projections. Since prXf−1V f f−1= idX, it follows thath≃stVprX, henceh≃UprX. ⊓⊔

It is said that X is locally E-stable if each x ∈ X has an E-stable neighborhood inX. Applying Michael’s Theorem 1.3.16 on local property, we prove the following theorem:

Theorem 2.3.6 For every perfectly normal paracompact space X, if X is locallyE-stable, thenX isE-stable and the projectionprX:X×E→X is a near-homeomorphism.

Proof. LetP be the property for open sets in X to be E-stable. The result follows from Michael’s Theorem 1.3.16 on local properties ifP isG-hereditary.

The condition (G-1) is Corollary 2.3.4(i), and (G-3) is obvious. It remains to show (G-2).

(G-2): For anyE-stable open setsU1andU2inX, letU =U1∪U2. SinceU is normal, we can choose open setsV1andV2inU so that clUV1∩clUV2=∅, U\U2⊂V1, andU\U1⊂V2. Applying Lemma 2.3.2 toA0=∅,A1= clUV1, W = U1\clUV2, and X = U1, we have a homeomorphismh1 : U1×E → (U1×E)clUV1 such thath1|(U1∩clUV2)×E = id. Then,h1 can be extended to a homeomorphism ¯h1:U×E→(U×E)clUV1 by ¯h1|(U\U1)×E= id.

Next, applying Lemma 2.3.2 to A0 = U2∩clUV1, A1 = U2, and W = X =U2, we have a homeomorphism h2 : (U2×E)U2∩clUV1 → U2 such that h2|U2∩clUV1 = id. Then, h2 can be extended to a homeomorphism ¯h2 : (U ×E)clUV1 → U by ¯h2|U \U2 = id. Thus, we have a homeomorphism

¯h21:U×E→U, that is,U isE-stable. — Fig. 2.6 ⊓⊔

Note that everyE-manifold is perfectly normal and paracompact because it is metrizable. Since each open set in E is E-stable by Corollary 2.3.4(i), every E-manifold is locally E-stable. Thus, as a corollary of Theorem 2.3.6 above, we have the following Stability Theorem:

Theorem 2.3.7 (Stability) EveryE-manifoldM isE-stable and the pro-jection prM :M×E→M is a near-homeomorphism. ⊓⊔

It is said that a subsetAof anE-stable space X islocally E-deficient inX if eacha∈Ahas a neighborhoodU inX such thatA∩U isE-deficient in U. By making small changes in the proof of Theorem 2.3.6, we can prove the following:

Proposition 2.3.8 LetX be anE-stable perfectly normal paracompact space.

Then, every locallyE-deficient closed setA inX isE-deficient in X. As the result, if a closed setA⊂X isE-deficient in an open setU inX, thenA is E-deficient in X.

Proof. Let P be the property for open sets U in M such that A∩U is E-deficient inU. This property implies thatU isE-stable. Actually, an open set U with A∩U =∅ has property P ifU is E-stable. Then,X hasP locally.9 In the proof of Theorem 2.3.6, applying Corollary 2.3.4(ii) instead of (i) gives a homeomorphismh:X×E→X such thath(x,0) =xfor eachx∈A. ⊓⊔

Because [−1,1]2≈B2, there exists an isotopyφ: [−1,1]2×I→[−1,1]2 such that φ0= id,φt(0,0) = (0,0) for each t∈I, and φ1(x, y) = (−y, x) for each (x, y)∈[−1,1]2. We define the isotopyφQ:Q2×I→Q2 as follows:

φQt(x, y) =ψ(

t(x(i), y(i)))i∈N

),

whereψ:(

[−1,1]2)N

→Q2is the homeomorphism defined by ψ(

(x(i), y(i))i∈N

)=(

(x(i))i∈N,(y(i))i∈N

).

9 WhenA is not closed inM, it is unknown whether a point a∈clA\Ahas an open neighborhoodU such thatA∩U isE-deficient inU.

2.3 Stability and Deficiency 75 Then, φQ0 = id,φQt (0,0) = (0,0) for eacht ∈I, and φQ1(x, y) = (−y, x) for each (x, y)∈Q2. Using this isotopy, we can define thecoordinate switching pseudo-isotopy

θQ :X×QN×Q×I→X×QN

in the same way asθE:X×E×I→X. By the same arguments as above, we have the following Q-stable versions of Proposition 2.3.3 and Corollary 2.3.4:

Proposition 2.3.9 Let X be a Q-stable perfectly normal space, A be a Q-deficient set in X, and U be an open set in X. Then, for each open cover U of U, there exists a map f : X×Q→ X such that f(x,0) = xfor each x∈A∩U,f|(X\U)×Q= prX\U andf|U×Q is a homeomorphism onto U that is U-homotopic toprU. ⊓⊔

Corollary 2.3.10 Let X be a Q-stable perfectly normal space and A be a Q-deficient set inX. Then, the following hold:

(i) Every open set inX isQ-stable.

(ii) For each open setU inX,A∩U is Q-deficient in U. (iii) The projectionprX:X×Q→X is a near-homeomorphism.

(iv) For any open coverU of X, there is a homeomorphism f :X ×Q→X such thatf(x,0) =xfor each x∈Aandf ≃UprX. ⊓⊔

SinceQ×In ≈Qfor every n∈N, the following can be obtained in the same way as Corollary 2.3.5:

Corollary 2.3.11 For everyQ-stable perfectly normal paracompact spaceX andn∈N, the projectionprX :X×In→X is a near-homeomorphism. ⊓⊔

It is said thatX islocally Q-stableif eachx∈X has aQ-stable neigh-borhood inX. The following is theQ-manifold version of Theorem 2.3.6:

Theorem 2.3.12 For every perfectly normal paracompact space X, if X is locally Q-stable, thenX is Q-stable and the projectionprX :X×Q→X is a near-homeomorphism. ⊓⊔

Thus, we have the followingQ-manifold version of Theorem 2.3.7:

Theorem 2.3.13 (Stability for Q-manifolds) Every Q-manifold M is Q-stable and the projection prM : M ×Q→ M is a near-homeomorphism.

Additionally, for each n ∈ N, the projection prM : M ×In → X is also a near-homeomorphism. ⊓⊔

In the same way, locallyQ-deficient sets and Q-deficient embeddings are defined. Then, the following can also be obtained:

76 2 Fundamental Results on Infinite-Dimensional Manifolds

Proposition 2.3.14 Let X be a perfectly normal paracompact space. Then, every locallyQ-deficient closed set in X is Q-deficient in X. ⊓⊔

An embeddingf :Y →X is said to beE-deficientiff(Y) isE-deficient in X. Recall that FE is the class of spaces which can be embedded inE as closed sets. Applying the Stability Theorem 2.3.7, we can prove the follow-ing theorem, which is also known as the Closed Embeddfollow-ing Approximation Theorem:

Theorem 2.3.15 (Strong Universality of E-manifolds) LetM be an E-manifold and A ∈ FE, with a closed set B ⊂A and a map f : A → M, such thatf|Bis anE-deficient closed embedding. Then, for eachU ∈cov(M), there exists anE-deficient closed embeddingh:A→M such thath|B=f|B andh≃Uf.

Proof. First, note thatE3≈E andM is an ANR. By Corollary 2.3.4(iv), we have a homeomorphismg:M ×E3→M such that

g(f(x),0,0,0) =f(x) for each x∈B and g≃U prM.

From the assumption, there is a closed embedding j : A → E. Take d ∈ Metr(A) anddM ∈Metr(M) such thatd, dM 61/2, and definedA∈Metr(A) as follows:

dA(x, y) =d(x, y) +dM(f(x), f(y)) for each x, y∈A.

Then, dM(f(x), f(y)) 6 dA(x, y) 6 1 for each x, y ∈ A. Let k : A → I be the map defined by k(x) =dA(x, B). Let e ̸= 0 ∈ E be fixed. The desired embeddingh:A→M can be defined by

h(x) =g(f(x), k(x)e, k(x)j(x),0).

Indeed,h|B=f|B by definition, andh(A) isE-deficient inM becauseM × E2 ≈ M. Since g ≃U prM, it follows that h ≃U f. If x ̸= y ∈ A, then k(x) ̸= k(y), k(x)j(x) ̸= k(y)j(y), or k(x) = k(y) = 0. In the third case, x, y∈B, which impliesf(x)̸=f(y). Thus,his injective.

It remains to see thathis closed. Letxn∈A,n∈N, such that (h(xn))n∈N

is convergent in M. Then, it is enough to show that (xn)n∈N is convergent.

The sequences (f(xn))n∈N, (k(xn))n∈N, and (k(xn)j(xn))n∈N are convergent.

Whenk(xn)→t̸= 0,k(xn)>0 for sufficiently largenandk(xn)−1→t−1, so it follows that (j(xn))n∈N is convergent. Since j is a closed embedding, (xn)n∈Nis convergent.

Whenk(xn)→ 0, we can choose yn ∈ B so thatdA(xn, yn) →0, hence dM(f(xn), f(yn)) → 0 by the definition of dA. Then, (f(yn))n∈N is conver-gent. Sincef|Bis a closed embedding, (yn)n∈Nis convergent, and hence so is (xn)n∈N. ⊓⊔

2.3 Stability and Deficiency 77 Note that the class M0 of compacta (= compact metrizable spaces) is equal to the classFQ of spaces which can be embedded intoQ. By the same proof as Theorem 2.3.15 above, we can prove the following:

Theorem 2.3.16 (Strong Universality of Q-manifolds) Let M be a Q-manifold and A be a compactum, with a closed set B ⊂ A and a map f : A → M, such that f|B is a Q-deficient closed embedding of a closed set B ⊂ A. Then, for each U ∈ cov(M), there exists a Q-deficient closed embedding h:A→M such thath|B=f|B andh≃U f. ⊓⊔

The following is a non-compact version of the above:

Theorem 2.3.17 (Closed Embedding Approximation) Let M be a Q-manifold, andAbe a locally compact separable metrizable space, with a closed set B ⊂ A and a proper map f : A → M, such that f|B is a Q-deficient closed embedding. Then, for each U ∈ cov(M), there exists a Q-deficient closed embeddingh:A→M such that h|B=f|B andh≃pUf.10

Proof. ReplacingU by a refinement, we can assume thatU is locally finite and every U ∈ U has the compact closure inM. By Corollary 2.3.10(iv), we have a homeomorphism g:M ×Q2 →M such thatg(f(x),0,0) = f(x) for each x∈Bandg≃U prM. We have an embeddingj:A→Qwithj(A)⊂pr−11 (1) (≈ Q),11 where pr1 : Q → [−1,1] is the projection of the first factor. Let k:A→Ibe a map withk−1(0) =B. The desired embeddingh:A→M can be defined as follows:

h(x) =g(f(x), k(x)j(x),0).

Indeed, by definition,h|B =f|B andh(A) is Q-deficient in M. Let x̸=

x∈A. Ifk(x)̸=k(x), thenk(x)j(x)̸=k(x)j(x) because pr1(k(x)j(x)) =k(x)̸=k(x) = pr1(k(x)j(x)).

If k(x) = k(x) > 0, then k(x)j(x) ̸= k(x)j(x) because j(x) ̸= j(x). If k(x) = k(x) = 0, then x, x ∈ B, so h(x) = f(x) ̸=f(x) = h(x) because f|B is an embedding. In any case,h(x)̸=h(x). Thus,his injective.

Sinceg≃UprM, it easily follows thath≃U f. Then, becausef is proper, it follows from Proposition 2.1.17 thath≃pUf. In particular,his proper, hence it is closed (cf. Proposition 1.3.1(c)). Therefore, his a closed embedding. ⊓⊔ Remark 2.3 In Theorem 2.3.15, it suffices to assume thatM isE-stable like Proposition 2.3.8. In Theorems 2.3.16 and 2.3.17, it suffices to assume that M isQ-stable like Proposition 2.3.14.

10Recallh≃pUf means thathis properlyU-homotopic tof.

11This embedding is not closed unless A is compact. An embedding ofA can be obtained by restricting an embedding of the one-point compactification αA = A∪ {∞}.
