Homotopy theory is an important sub-field of algebraic topology. It is mainly concerned with the properties and structures of spaces which are invariant under homotopy. Chief among these are the homotopy groups of spaces, specifically those of spheres. Homotopy theory includes a broad set of ideas and techniques, such as cohomology theories, spectra and stable homotopy theory, model categories, spectral sequences, and classifying spaces.

Is the space of diffeomorphisms homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex?
Clarification: My question concerns the homotopy type of the space of $C^k$ diffeomorphisms with the compact-open $C^k$ topology, where $0< k \leq\infty$. I have stated my question below with $k=1$ fo …

Monoidal model category structure on a functor category.
[This should probably be a comment, since it is so short. Nevertheless, it is an answer to the question.]
The result you ask for is a consequence of proposition 2.2.15 in Sam Isaacson's Ph.D. thesis …

(Homotopy) Y ENR and contractible subset implies Y is a retract
Observe that any retract of $\newcommand{\RR}{\mathbb{R}} \RR^n$ is necessarily a closed subspace of $\RR^n$. Assuming this necessary condition, the answer to the question is affirmative. More precise …

Reference Request: Compact manifolds with boundary have the homotopy type of a CW-complex
I have no idea at the moment where to find a reference for the specific result you seek. However, it can be deduced from the following fact: topological manifolds (paracompact and Hausdorff) are absol …

Distinct manifolds with the same configuration spaces?
I will present an example involving only (non-compact) manifolds without boundary. As far as I know, the analogous problem for closed manifolds is wide open. Nevertheless, the article Configuration sp …

Does the signature admit a homotopy coherent refinement?
[Since my comment above appears to have been helpful, I am repeating it here.]
I must admit I am unfamiliar with L-theory. Nevertheless, I came across a recent article on the arXiv which is related: …

Well-pointed space which is not locally contractible
I am looking for an example of a well-pointed space in which no (sufficiently small) neighbourhood of the base-point is contractible. As usual, a well-pointed space is a pointed space in which the inc …

Homotopy Equivalences and Induced Correspondences between Fibre Bundles
Here is a quick argument which proves homotopy equivalence directly. First, the pullback of a homotopy equivalence along a Hurewicz fibration is again a homotopy equivalence. Further, by the well-know …
