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.

Homotopy section but no pointed homotopy section
Can anyone give an example of a pointed map $p:(E,e)\to (B,b)$ between connected pointed spaces (reasonably nice, say of the homotopy type of CW complexes) such that $p$ admits a homotopy section but …

Strengthening the Compression Lemma in homotopy theory
The following result is sometimes known as the Compression Lemma:
Let $(X,A)$ be a CW pair and let $(Y,B)$ be a topological pair with $B\neq\emptyset$. For all $n$ such that $X-A$ has $n$-cells, a …

Extending a weak version of Sullivan's generalized conjecture
Apologies for the title.
Miller's theorem (formerly Sullivan's conjecture) gives that for a finite group $G$ and a finite dimensional connected CW complex $X$, the based mapping space $\operatorname{ …

fibre-preserving homotopy equivalence
Let $p:E\to B$ and $p':E'\to B$ be fibrations. It is well known that if $f:E\to E'$ a fibrewise map that is also a homotopy equivalence, then it is a fibrewise homotopy equivalence.
What about the mor …

Does the Borel functor take equivariant fibrations to fibrations?
Let $p\colon X\to B$ be a fibration. Let $G$ be a topological group acting continuously on $X$ and $B$, and assume that the map $p$ is $G$-equivariant.
We can apply the Borel functor $EG\times_G-$ f …

Which cohomology theories are real- and complex-orientable?
A complex-oriented cohomology theory $E^*$ is a multiplicative cohomology theory with a choice of Thom class $x\in\tilde{E}^2(\mathbb{C}P^\infty)$ for the universal complex line bundle (which can be u …

Homotopy dimension of a mapping
The homotopy dimension $h \dim X$ of a space $X$ is the minimal dimension of a CW-complex $Z$ homotopy equivalent to $X$.
I am interested in the generalisation to maps $f\colon X\to Y$. Here's what I …

What is the homotopy fiber of a fold map?
If $X$ and $Y$ are based spaces, let $p_X: X\vee Y\to X$ be the fold map, or projection, onto $X$.
What is the homotopy fiber $F$ of $p_X$?
I think I have an argument that $F$ is the half-smash …

When is the diagonal inclusion a $\Sigma_2$-cofibration?
Recall that a space $X$ is called locally equiconnected or LEC if the diagonal map $d:X\hookrightarrow X\times X$ is a cofibration. For example, CW-complexes are LEC. There is some discussion of this …

Unstable homotopy groups of spheres beyond Toda's range
In 1962 Toda published his book "Composition methods in homotopy groups of spheres", which contains computations of $\pi_{n+k}(S^n)$ for $k\le 19$ and $n\le 20$. The values of these groups are conveni …

Let $X$ be a finite CW complex, and $A$ an abelian group. Given a nonzero class in singular cohomology $$x\in H^k(X;A),$$ when is its cross product square $$x\times x\in H^{2k}(X\times X;A\otimes A)$$ …
