Abstract

The paper is devoted to generalizations of Cencelj-Dranishnikov theorems relating extension properties of nilpotent CW complexes to its homology groups. Here are the main results of the paper: \par {\bf Theorem}. Suppose LL is a nilpotent CW complex and FF is the homotopy fiber of the inclusion ii of LL into its infinite symmetric product SP(L)SP(L). If XX is a metrizable space such that XτK(Hk(L),k)X\tau K(H_k(L),k) for all k1k\ge 1, then XτK(πk(F),k)X\tau K(\pi_k(F),k) and XτK(πk(L),k)X\tau K(\pi_k(L),k) for all k2k\ge 2. \par {\bf Theorem}. Let XX be a metrizable space such that dim(X)<\dim(X) < \infty or XANRX\in ANR. Suppose LL is a nilpotent CW complex and SP(L)SP(L) is its infinite symmetric product. If XτSP(L)X\tau SP(L), then XτLX\tau L in the following cases: \begin{itemize} \item[a.] H1(L)H_1(L) is finitely generated. \item[b.] H1(L)H_1(L) is a torsion group. \end{itemize}
