Abstract

We prove that a space $M$ with Disjoint Disk Property is a $Q$-manifold if and only if $M\times X$ is a $Q$-manifold for some $C$-space $X$. This implies that the product $M\times I^2$ of a space $M$ with the disk is a $Q$-manifold if and only if $M\times X$ is a $Q$-manifold for some $C$-space $X$. The proof of these theorems exploits the homological characterization of $Q$-manifolds due to Daverman and Walsh, combined with the existence of $G$-stable points in $C$-spaces. To establish the existence of such points we prove (and afterward apply) homological versions of the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem and of Uspenskij's Selection Theorem.
