Generalization: The Homotopy Lifting Extension Property
There is a common generalization of the homotopy lifting property and the homotopy extension property. Given a pair of spaces, for simplicity we denote . Given additionally a map, one says that has the homotopy lifting extension property if:
- for any homotopy, and
- for any lifting of ,
there exists a homotopy which extends (i.e., such that ).
The homotopy lifting property of is obtained by taking, so that above is simply .
The homotopy extension property of is obtained by taking to be a constant map, so that is irrelevant in that every map to E is trivially the lift of a constant map to the image point of .

Famous quotes containing the words lifting, extension 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)
“The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium—that is, of any extension of ourselves—result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
