Homotopy theory | Homology theory | Algebraic topology
In mathematics, an acyclic space is a nonempty topological space X in which cycles are always boundaries, in the sense of homology theory. This implies that integral homology groups in all dimensions of X are isomorphic to the corresponding homology groups of a point. In other words, using the idea of reduced homology, It is common to consider such a space as a nonempty space without "holes"; for example, a circle or a sphere is not acyclic but a discor a ball is acyclic. This condition however is weaker than asking that every closed loop in the space would bound a disc in the space, all we ask is that any closed loop—and higher dimensional analogue thereof—would bound something like a "two-dimensional surface." The condition of acyclicity on a space X implies, for example, for nice spaces—say, simplicial complexes—that any continuous map of X to the circle or to the higher spheres is null-homotopic. If a space X is contractible, then it is also acyclic, by the homotopy invariance of homology. The converse is not true, in general. Nevertheless, if X is an acyclic CW complex, and if the fundamental group of X is trivial, then X is a contractible space, as follows from the Whitehead theorem and the Hurewicz theorem. (Wikipedia).

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 8: The Stable Model Category of Spectra
We discuss the enrichment of spectra over spaces, and the compatibility of this enrichment with the model structure. Then we define the stable model structure by adding extra cofibrations to the levelwise model category of spectra, and restricting the weak equivalences to those maps which

A challenge in computational topology is to deal with large filtered geometric complexes built from point cloud data such as Vietoris-Rips filtrations. This has led to the development of schemes for parallel computation and compression which restrict simplices to lie in open sets in a cove
