Abstract

We characterize, in terms of XX, extensional dimension of the Stone-\v{C}ech corona βXX\beta X \setminus X of locally compact and Lindel\"{o}f space XX. The non-Lindel\"{o}f case case is also settled in terms of extending proper maps with values in IτLI^{\tau}\setminus L, where LL is a finite complex. Further, for a finite complex LL, an uncountable cardinal τ\tau and a ZτZ_{\tau}-set XX in the Tychonov cube IτI^{\tau} we find necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of IτXI^{\tau}\setminus X, for XX to be in the class AE([L])\operatorname{AE}([L]). We also introduce a concept of a proper absolute extensor and characterize the product [0,1)×Iτ[0,1)\times I^{\tau} as the only locally compact and Lindel\"{o}f proper absolute extensor of weight τ>ω\tau > \omega which has the same pseudocharacter at each point.
