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.

Group completion of a monoid (braid groups)

Let $B_n$ be the braid group on $n$ strands, $B_{\infty}$ the direct limit of braid groups. For a discrete group $G$, we let $BG$ to be the classifying space of $G$. After reading this question, I was …

Cell structure on the function space $\operatorname{Hom}(X,Y)$

By the Theorem of Milnor in his paper "On spaces having the homotopy type of a CW-complex", the function space $\operatorname{Hom}(X,Y)$ (with the compact-open topology) is homotopy equivalent to a C …
