Abstract

We investigate the classical Alexandroff-Borsuk problem in the category of non-triangulable manifolds: Given an nn-dimensional compact non-triangulable manifold MnM^n and ε>0\varepsilon > 0, does there exist an ε\varepsilon-map of MnM^n onto an nn-dimensional finite polyhedron which induces a homotopy equivalence?
