Draft:Homotopy theory

This draft page will be used to work out sections on the homotopy groups of spheres and shape theory

Pro-homotopy-type and shape theory

Homotopy theory works the best with spaces with nice local behaviors; e.g., CW complexes or absolute neighborhood retracts. Shape theory extends homotopy theory to spaces with poor local behaviors. A canonical example is a Warsaw circle.

In mathematics, especially homotopy theory, a homotopy quotient is a homotopy-theoretic quotient as opposed to a set-theoretic one. Precisely, this is the homotopy colimit of the action groupoid. Especially in differential geometry, it is also known as the Borel construction.

Quotient groupoid

Let

be an action groupoid (usual set-theoretic). The colimit of the above diagram in Set is the coequalizer of it; i.e., the usual set-theoretic quotient.
