What is the relation between homotopy groups and homology?
Oct 13, 2020 at 19:35. Add a comment. As commented above the Hurewicz theorem computes some homology groups from the knowledge of homotopy groups; it indicates that homotopy groups are harder to compute than homology groups. In degree 1 the fundamental group can be nonabelian, and Hurewicz says that H1 (with Z coefficients where not specified ...
Explain "homotopy" to me - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2016年2月10日 · A homotopy deforms the map f continuously to g. Replace map with continuous function: A homotopy between continuous functions f, g: X → Y is a continuous function h: X × I → Y such that. h(x, 0) = f(x), h(x, 1) = g(x) ∈ Y where x ∈ X and I = [0, 1]. We say continuous functions f, g are homotopic. and it adds.
What is the difference between homotopy and homeomorphism?
2013年1月18日 · Anyways, homotopy equivalence is weaker than homeomorphic. Counterexample to your claim: the 2-dimensional cylinder and a Möbius strip are both 2-dimensional manifolds and homotopy equivalent, but not homeomorphic.
Homotopy equivalence of pairs - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2018年5月23日 · Generally a map of pairs f: (X, A) → (Y, B) f: (X, A) → (Y, B) is a map f: X → Y f: X → Y with f(A) ⊆ B f (A) ⊆ B. (This gives you a category of pairs.) Two maps f0,f1 f 0, f 1 of pairs are homotopic if they are linked by a homotopy ft f t with ft(A) ⊆ B f t (A) ⊆ B for each t t.
algebraic topology - Zeroth homotopy group: what exactly is it ...
2016年1月2日 · So π0 π 0 is the homotopy classes of maps from two points (S0 S 0) to X X, where the first point is mapped to the base point. Clearly only the path connected component matters for the second point (since a path connecting the two points defines a homotopy between two such maps). π0 π 0 being trivial implies that there is a path between any ...
Courses on Homotopy Theory - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2012年8月15日 · A good (In my view from the modern language the best) reference is "Simplicial Homotopy Theory" by Goerss and Jardine. When studying the relationship to topological spaces now it depends on how much homotopy theory you already know. You should learn about CW complexes, fibrations, homotopy groups, the Hurewicz theorem, the Whitehead theorem ...
algebraic topology - How to compute homotopy groups of torus ...
$\begingroup$ Homotopy groups of a product of two spaces are the direct products of the respective homotopy groups of the factors. Torus is a product of two circles. If you know the homotopy groups of a circle you know those of a torus. $\endgroup$ –
How to show a straight line homotopy is continuous?
Given f f and g g continuous maps from X X into R2 R 2, how to show that the straight line homotopy map F(x, t) = (1 − t)f(x) + tg(x) F (x, t) = (1 − t) f (x) + t g (x) is continuous? general-topology. algebraic-topology. continuity. homotopy-theory.

Definitions of free and based homotopy. - Mathematics Stack …
Definitions of free and based homotopy. I have a question concerning the right understanding of the following two definitions: free and based homotopy. If I am right, free homotopy between two continuous maps f, g: X → Y f, g: X → Y is a continuous map F: X × I → Y F: X × I → Y such that. F(x, 0) F(x, 1) = f(x), ∀x ∈ X = g(x), ∀ ...
Isotopy and Homotopy - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2013年2月6日 · A homotopy is a continuous one-parameter family of continuous functions. An isotopy is a continuous one-parameter family of homeomorphisms. You can think of a homotopy between two spaces as a deformation that involves bending, shrinking and stretching, but doesn't have to be one-to-one or onto. For example, a punctured torus is homotopy ...
