Variations on a theme of homotopy

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

The aim of this article is to bring together various themes from fairly elementary homotopy theory and to examine them, in part, from a historical and philosophical viewpoint.

Homotopy dominations within polyhedra

Danuta Kołodziejczyk (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show the existence of a finite polyhedron P dominating infinitely many different homotopy types of finite polyhedra and such that there is a bound on the lengths of all strictly descending sequences of homotopy types dominated by P. This answers a question of K. Borsuk (1979) dealing with shape-theoretic notions of "capacity" and "depth" of compact metric spaces. Moreover, π₁(P) may be any given non-abelian poly-ℤ-group and dim P may be any given integer n ≥ 3.
