On the size of a map. (English) Zbl 1398.54071

Authors’ abstract: “Some properties depending on an upper bound of the diameter of fibers of a continuous map \(f\) from the \(n\)-dimensional unit cube \(I^n\) to the Euclidean space are investigated. In particular, we consider the problem when the image \(f(I^n)\) has nonempty interior. Obtained results are consequences of the Poincaré theorem and some theorems on extensions of maps. Generalizations of the De Marco theorem and the Borsuk theorem are presented.”
It is remarkable that the results contained in this paper are substantially based on a combinatorial lemma and the Borsuk homotopy extension lemma.
