Abstract
Let be an Alexandrov space collapsing to an Alexandrov space of lower dimension. Suppose has no proper extremal subsets and let denote a regular fiber. We slightly improve the result of Perelman to construct an infinitely long exact sequence of homotopy groups and a spectral sequence of cohomology groups for the pair . The proof is an application of the good coverings of Alexandrov spaces introduced by Mitsuishi-Yamaguchi. We also extend this result to each primitive extremal subset of .
