Homological characterizations of $Q$-manifolds and $l_2$-manifolds

Abstract

We investigate to what extend the density of $Z_n$-maps in the characterization of $Q$-manifolds, and the density of maps $f\in C(\mathbb{N}\times Q,X)$ having discrete images in the $l_2$-manifolds characterization can be weakened to the density of homological $Z_n$-maps and homological $Z$-maps, respectively. As a result, we obtain homological characterizations of $Q$-manifolds and $l_2$-manifolds.
