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:

    It was something like love
    From another world that seized her
    From behind, and she gave, not lifting her head
    Out of dew, without ever looking, her best
    Self to that great need.
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt.
    James Madison (1751–1836)
