A note on ANR's

Abstract

It is shown that if for a complete metric space $(X,d)$ there is a constant $\epsilon >0$ such that the intersection ${\bigcap }_{j=1}^n{B}_d(x_j,r_j)$ of open balls is nonempty for every finite system $x_1,...,x_n\in X$ of centers and a corresponding system of radii $r_1,...,r_n>0$ such that $d(x_j,x_k) \leqsl ε$ and $d(x_j,x_k)<r_j+r_k$ ($j,k=1,...,n$), then $X$ is an ANR; and if in the above one may put $\epsilon =\infty$, the space $X$ is an AR. A certain criterion for an incomplete metric space to be an A(N)R is presented.
