Uniformly continuous homotopy equivalence

Suppose $M$ and $N$ are complete metric spaces and $f, g: M \to N$ are uniformly continuous maps between them with common modulus of continuity $m$. Further suppose $f$ and $g$ are homotopy equivalent....

A topological tree is weakly contractible

Let us call a nonempty topological space a topological tree if it is Hausdorff and for two distinct points there is a continuous injective path connecting the points, which is unique up to ...

(Homotopy) colimit and manifold

Suppose that I have an arbitrary regular CW complex. By associating a topological space to each vertex of the CW complex, I can have a diagram of topological spaces, denoted by $D$, over the CW ...

Weak contractibility of some infinite dimensional metric spaces

Let $(X_{n},d_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of complete geodesic metric spaces such that: $X_{n}$ is a regular$^1$ CW-complex of constant local dimension$^3$ $n$, it is of finite type$^4$, ...

Homotopy problem for infinite dimensional topological space II

This post here is a specification of this post. Let $(X_{n},d_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of intrinsic metric spaces verifying : $X_{n}$ have topological dimension $n$. $X_{n+1}$ is n-...
