Cohomological dimension and approximate limits

Approximate (inverse) systems of compacta have been useful in the study of covering dimension, dim, and cohomological dimension over an abelian group , . Such systems are more general than (classical) inverse systems. They have limits and structurally have similar properties. In particular, the limit of an approximate system of compacta satisfies the important property of being an approximate resolution. We shall prove herein that if is an abelian group, a compactum is the limit of an approximate system of compacta , , and for each , then .
