Homotopy Equivalence
Two topological spaces
and
are homotopy equivalent if there exist continuous maps
and
, such that the composition
is homotopic to the identity
on
, and such that
is homotopic to
. Each of the maps
and
is called a homotopy equivalence, and
is said to be a homotopy inverse to
(and vice versa).
One should think of homotopy equivalent spaces as spaces, which can be deformed continuously into one another.
Certainly any homeomorphism
is a homotopy equivalence, with homotopy inverse
, but the converse does not necessarily hold.
Some spaces, such as any ball
, can be deformed continuously into a point. A space with this property is said to be contractible, the precise definition being that
is homotopy equivalent to a point. It is a fact that a space
is contractible, if and only if the identity map
is null-homotopic, i.e., homotopic to a constant map.
