Homotopy

In topology, a branch of mathematics, two continuous functions from one topological space to another are called homotopic (from Ancient Greek: ὁμός homós "same, similar" and τόπος tópos "place") if one can be "continuously deformed" into the other, such a deformation being called a homotopy (/həˈmɒtəpiː/, hə-MO-tə-pee; /ˈhoʊmoʊˌtoʊpiː/, HOH-moh-toh-pee) between the two functions. A notable use of homotopy is the definition of homotopy groups and cohomotopy groups, important invariants in algebraic topology. In practice, there are technical difficulties in using homotopies with certain spaces. Algebraic topologists work with compactly generated spaces, CW complexes, or spectra. (Wikipedia).

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video we add some more definition to our toolbox before we go any further in our study into group theory and abstract algebra. The definition at hand is the homomorphism. A homomorphism is a function that maps the elements for one group to another whilst maintaining their structu

Introduction to Homotopy Theory- PART 1: UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTIONS

The goal of this series is to develop homotopy theory from a categorical perspective, alongside the theory of model categories. We do this with the hope of eventually developing stable homotopy theory, a personal goal a passion of mine. I'm going to follow nLab's notes, but I hope to add t

Group Homomorphisms - Abstract Algebra

A group homomorphism is a function between two groups that identifies similarities between them. This essential tool in abstract algebra lets you find two groups which are identical (but may not appear to be), only similar, or completely different from one another. Homomorphisms will be

Gentle algebras are quadratic monomial algebras whose representation theory is well understood. In recent years they have played a central role in several different subjects such as in cluster algebras where they occur as Jacobian algebras of quivers with potentials obtained from triangula

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 9: Infinite Loop Spaces, and Homotopy Colimits

The fibrant spectra are the Ω-spectra, and we can give an elegant explicit description of the fibrant replacement. The "infinite loop space" functor, which is the derived right adjoint to the suspension spectrum, is then given by taking the 0th space of an equivalent Ω-spectrum. This allow

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra examples

Yesterday we took a look at the definition of a homomorphism. In today's lecture I want to show you a couple of example of homomorphisms. One example gives us a group, but I take the time to prove that it is a group just to remind ourselves of the properties of a group. In this video th
