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

Famous quotes containing the words lifting and/or property:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
