Mapping into a geometric realization.

Suppose $S$ is a simplicial set, $X$ is a space, and we are given a map \[ f: \text{Sing}\,X\to S. \] When is is possible to produce a map $X\to |S|$? We can take the realization of $f$, to get $|f|: …

Embeddings of vector spaces

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space. Is the space of embeddings $$ \coprod_1^{k} V \to V $$ path connected for large enough $n$? Clearly $n=1$ is not enough, but I feel like $n=2$ is enough f …

Why chain homotopy when there is no topology in the background?

There is an inner-hom in $\mathbf{Chain}$, and the 1-chains are chain homotopies. The definition is $$ \underline{\mathbf{Chain}}(C_\bullet,D_\bullet)_k = \Pi_n \textrm{Hom} (C_{n-k},D_n) $$ so a 0-c …

Compatibility of classifying space with inner-hom?

Let $\mathbf{sTop}$ be the functor category $\mathbf{Top}^{{\mathbf{\Delta}}^{\textit{op}}}$, and let $\mathbf{sCat}$ be the functor category $\mathbf{Cat}^{{\mathbf{\Delta}}^{\textit{op}}}$, and let …
