A note on covers defining relative and sectional categories

Algebraic Topology 2019-05-20 v1

Abstract

We give a characterization of relative category in the sense of Doeraene-El Haouari by using open covers. We also prove that relative category and sectional category can be defined by taking arbitrary covers (not necessarily open) when dealing with ANR spaces.
