Homotopical connectivity

In algebraic topology, homotopical connectivity is a property describing a topological space based on the dimension of its holes. In general, low homotopical connectivity indicates that the space has at least one low-dimensional hole. The concept of n-connectedness generalizes the concepts of path-connectedness and simple connectedness. An equivalent definition of homotopical connectivity is based on the homotopy groups of the space. A space is n-connected (or n-simple connected) if its first n homotopy groups are trivial. Homotopical connectivity is defined for maps, too. A map is n-connected if it is an isomorphism "up to dimension n, in homotopy". (Wikipedia).

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

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

Computing homology groups | Algebraic Topology | NJ Wildberger

The definition of the homology groups H_n(X) of a space X, say a simplicial complex, is quite abstract: we consider the complex of abelian groups generated by vertices, edges, 2-dim faces etc, then define boundary maps between them, then take the quotient of kernels mod boundaries at each

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

Johannes Ebert - Rigidity theorems for the diffeomorphism action on spaces of metrics of (...)

The diffeomorphism group $\mathrm{Diff}(M)$ of a closed manifold acts on the space $\mathcal{R}^+ (M)$ of positive scalar curvature metrics. For a basepoint $g$, we obtain an orbit map $\sigma_g: \mathrm{Diff}(M) \to \mathcal{R}^ (M)$ which induces a map $(\sigma_g)_*:\pi_*( \mathrm{Diff}(

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
