Abstract

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let l1l2...l_1 \leq l_2 \leq... be a sequence of natural numbers, and let X1X2...X_1 \subset X_2 \subset... be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for each k in N, dimZ/pXklk<dim_{Z/p} X_k \leq l_k < \infty. Then there exists a compact metrizable space Z, having closed subspaces Z1Z2...Z_1 \subset Z_2 \subset..., and a surjective cell-like map π:ZX\pi: Z \to X, such that for each k in N, (a) dimZklkdim Z_k \leq l_k, (b) π(Zk)=Xk\pi (Z_k) = X_k, and (c) πZk:ZkXk\pi | {Z_k}: Z_k \to X_k is a Z/p-acyclic map. Moreover, there is a sequence A1A2...A_1 \subset A_2 \subset... of closed subspaces of Z, such that for each k, dimAklkdim A_k \leq l_k, πAk:AkX\pi|{A_k}: A_k\to X is surjective, and for k in N, ZkAkZ_k\subset A_k and πAk:AkX\pi|{A_k}: A_k\to X is a UV^{l_k-1}-map. It is not required that X be the union of all X_k, nor that Z be the union of all Z_k. This result generalizes the Z/p-resolution theorem of A. Dranishnikov, and runs parallel to a similar theorem of S. Ageev, R. Jim\'enez, and L. Rubin, who studied the situation where the group was Z.
