Resolution conjecture for collections of abelian groups

From papers

Let G{\cal G} be a collection of abelian groups, let XX be a compactum, and let n2n\geq 2. Write

σ(G)=GGσ(G).\overline{\sigma({\cal G})}=\bigcup_{G\in{\cal G}}\overline{\sigma(G)}.

A map r:ZXr:Z\longrightarrow X is GG-acyclic when it is acyclic with respect to the abelian group GG.

Resolution conjecture. There exist a compactum ZZ with dimZn\dim Z\leq n and a surjective map r:ZXr:Z\longrightarrow X such that

dimGZmax{dimGX,2}\dim_G Z\leq\max\{\dim_G X,2\}

and rr is GG-acyclic for every GGG\in{\cal G} if and only if

dimEXn\dim_E X\leq n

for every Eσ(G)E\in\overline{\sigma({\cal G})}.

This conjecture asks for a simultaneous acyclic resolution realizing the cohomological-dimension bounds associated with a collection of coefficient groups. The preceding theorem establishes a version with dimZn+1\dim Z\leq n+1 under the corresponding hypotheses; the sharper dimension bound nn in the stated equivalence is the unresolved part.
