Abstract

We prove a generalization of the Edwards-Walsh Resolution Theorem: Theorem: Let G be an abelian group for which PGP_G equals the set of all primes P\mathbb{P}, where PG={pP:Z(p)P_G=\{p \in \mathbb{P}: \Z_{(p)}\in Bockstein Basis σ(G)} \sigma(G)\}. Let n in N and let K be a connected CW-complex with πn(K)G\pi_n(K)\cong G, πk(K)0\pi_k(K)\cong 0 for 0k<n0\leq k< n. Then for every compact metrizable space X with XτKX\tau K (i.e., with KK an absolute extensor for XX), there exists a compact metrizable space Z and a surjective map π:ZX\pi: Z \to X such that (a) π\pi is cell-like, (b) dimZn\dim Z \leq n, and (c) ZτKZ\tau K.
