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.

Famous quotes containing the words lifting and/or property:

    The little lifting helplessness, the queer
    Whimper-whine; whose unridiculous
    Lost softness softly makes a trap for us.
    And makes a curse.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    For wisdom is the property of the dead,
    A something incompatible with life; and power,
    Like everything that has the stain of blood,
    A property of the living; but no stain
    Can come upon the visage of the moon
    When it has looked in glory from a cloud.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
