Extract

In this paper I prove some new Pflastersätze for r−dimensional sets in the n−dimensional Euclidean space Rn belonging to one and the same family, in which Lebesgue's fundamental lemma represents a “0-dimensional” case out of r + 1 possible cases of dimensions 0, 1, 2, …, r.

‡ Dimensions are understood in the sense of Brouwer (see Alexandroff, “Dimensionstheorie”, loc. cit.). The case r = 0 is trivial and is excluded from the proof.

§ In the sense of Alexandroff; we also I.P. III.

† If a cycle z (mod 0) bounds a complex in U, we write z ∼ 0 in U (for z ≃ 0 in U), and z ≁ 0 otherwise. All homologies linking relations, dissections, etc. are understood rel a spherical neighbourhood U (in the sense of Lefschetz).

‡ To simplify our expressions we include BT=F in the series of dissections. By an infinite cycle we mean a “Vollzyklus” in Alexandroff's sense (not to be confused with infinite cycles in the sense of Lefschetz).

† It may be pointed out here (in connection with the paper quoted above) that it is sufficient for our purpose to apply ε modifications with respect to the set B 0 only.

† See I.P. IV. 4, 5.

‡ We write here {sn−r+j−1} for {zn−r+j−1}.

† The extension of the results of this paragraph to arbitrary closed sets wi11 be added in the continuation of this paper.

† See I.P. I. In the case of h = r we may expect the corresponding Pflastersätze to be valid for Risspunkte of a higher order r+l in the sense that the arbitrarily all manifolds of a sequence defining a manifold point contain inner points of r+l parts of the given subdivision.

† See I.P. I and IV.

‡ It may be mentioned with regard to the set of points theory of dimensions that there was no evidence of the existence even of a single point of that kind in a closed set.
