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.

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 …

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 …

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{ …

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 …

Aspherical fibrations and group epimorphisms
Let $\mathsf{Top}$ denote the category of pointed spaces having the pointed homotopy type of a pointed CW-complex. Let $\mathsf{Grp}$ denote the category of groups. It is well documented that for grou …

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 …

Classification of sections of free loop fibration over the two-sphere
For any space $X$ there is a fibration
$$
\Omega X\to LX\stackrel{ev}{\to} X
$$
where $LX=Map(S^1,X)$ is the free loop space, $\Omega X = Map_*(S^1,X)$ is the based loop space, and $ev:LX\to X$ is the …

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 …

When is the cohomology cross product square nonzero?
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 $$x\times x\in H^{2k}(X\times X;A\otimes A)$$ …

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 …

Geometric vs cohomological dimension with families - on a proof of Lueck and Meintrup
Let $G$ be a discrete group, and let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subgroups of $G$ (closed under conjugation and taking subgroups). Then we may define the geometric and cohomological dimensions of $G$ …
