Let B be a nondiscrete compactum, Y a separable complete metrizable ANR with no isolated point and p: X -B a locally trivial bundle with fiber Y admitting a section. It is proved that the space r(X) of all cross sections of p: X -B is an 12-manifold. 0. Introduction. Through the paper, spaces are separable metrizable and maps are continuous. Let p: X -* B be a locally trivial bundle with fiber Y, that is, each point b E B has a neighborhood U and a homeomorphism p: U x Y -, p-1 (U) such that p'p = ru, the projection to U. A map s: B -* X is called a cross section of p: X -* B provided ps = id. The space of all cross sections of p: X -* B with compact-open topology is denoted by 17(X). Then 17(X) is a closed subspace of the space C(B, X) of all maps from B into X. If B is compact and d is a compatible metric for X, the topology of 17(X) (and C(B, X)) is induced by the sup-metric d(f, g) = sup{d(f (b), g(b)) I b E B}. A manifold modeled on Hilbert space 12 is called an 12-manifold. In this note, we prove the following MAIN THEOREM. Let B be a nondiscrete compactum, Y a complete metrizable ANR with no isolated point and p: X B a locally trivial bundle with fiber Y admitting a section. Then 17(X) is an 12-manifold. For the trivial bundle 7rB: B x Y -* B, the space F(B x Y) can be regarded as the space C(B, Y). Thus the space C(B, Y) is an 12-manifold if B is a nondiscrete compactum and Y is a complete-metrizable ANR with no isolated point. This is a generalization of Eells-Geoghegan-Torunczyk's result [E, Ge, To1]. The author would like to thank Doug Curtis for helpful comments. 1. Preliminaries. Our proof is based on the following: TORU?NCZYK'S CHARACTERIZATION THEOREM FOR 12-MANIFOLDS [TO2] (CF. [To3]). A complete-metrizable ANR X is an 12-manifold if and only if X has the discrete approximation property, that is, for each map f: eDnEN I' X of the free union of n-cells (n E N) into X and each map E: X -+ (0, 1) there is a Received by the editors February 27, 1987 and, in revised form, April 22, 1987.
