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.
