Abstract

We study geometric properties of topological spaces called proper NC-tameness, proper PC-tameness, and proper N-movability, where and C denote classes of spaces. They are related to proper MC-tameness and proper M-movability from [5] and could be regarded as their dual forms. All three are invariants of a recently invented author's proper shape theory and are described by the use of proper multi-valued functions. We explore their basic properties and prove several results on their preservation under proper maps.
