Abstract: We extend the definition of Bockstein basis $ \sigma(G)$ to nilpotent groups $ G$. A metrizable space $ X$ is called a Bockstein space if $ \operatorname{dim}_G(X) = \sup\{\operatorname{dim}_H(X) \vert H\in \sigma(G)\}$ for all Abelian groups $ G$. The Bockstein First Theorem says that all compact spaces are Bockstein spaces.

Here are the main results of the paper:

Theorem 0.1. Let $ X$ be a Bockstein space. If $ G$ is nilpotent, then $ \operatorname{dim}_G(X) \leq 1$ if and only if $ \sup\{\operatorname{dim}_H(X) \vert H\in\sigma(G)\}\leq 1$.

Theorem 0.2. $ X$ is a Bockstein space if and only if $ \operatorname{dim}_{{\mathbf{Z}}_{(l)}} (X) = \operatorname{dim}_{\hat{Z}_{(l)}}(X)$ for all subsets $ l$ of prime numbers.
