In this paper a precompact shape theory is investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for which the precompact shapes of remainders are coinsided. An intrinsically characterization of
Cech (co)homology groups of remainders is given. Border cohomological dimension,
dimA∞X, and coefficient of border cyclicity,
ηA∞X, are defined and the inequality
dimA∞X≤dimA(cX
X) and the equality
ηA∞X=ηA(cX
X) are proved for a space
X normally adjoined to its remainder.
