Homotopy - Homotopy Lifting Property

Homotopy Lifting Property

If we have a homotopy H : X × → Y and a cover p : YY and we are given a map h0 : XY such that H0 = ph0 (h0 is called a lift of h0), then we can lift all H to a map H : X × → Y such that pH = H. The homotopy lifting property is used to characterize fibrations.

    O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird,
    Which ever in the haunch of winter sings
    The lifting up of day.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When a strong man, fully armed, guards his castle, his property is safe. But when one stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his plunder.
