For instance, take X= S 2 × RP 3 and Y= RP 2 × S 3. Then X and Y have the same fundamental group, namely the cyclic group Z/2, and the same universal cover, namely S 2 × S 3; thus, they have isomorphic homotopy groups. On the other hand their homology groups are different (as can be seen from the Künneth formula); thus, X and Y are not ...
Two major ways in which this can be done are through fundamental groups, or more generally homotopy theory, and through homology and cohomology groups. The fundamental groups give us basic information about the structure of a topological space, but they are often nonabelian and can be difficult to work with.
It can be constructed from two points (x and y), and the 1-dimensional ball B (an interval), such that one endpoint of B is glued to x and the other is glued to y. The two points x and y are the 0-cells; the interior of B is the 1-cell. Alternatively, it can be constructed just from a single interval, with no 0-cells. A circle.
In homological algebra, Whitehead's lemmas (named after J. H. C. Whitehead) represent a series of statements regarding representation theory of finite-dimensional, semisimple Lie algebras in characteristic zero. Historically, they are regarded as leading to the discovery of Lie algebra cohomology. [1]
Remarkably, Whitehead's theorem says that for CW complexes, a weak homotopy equivalence and a homotopy equivalence are the same thing. Another important result is the approximation theorem. First, the homotopy category of spaces is the category where an object is a space but a morphism is the homotopy class of a map. Then
Two pairs (X 1, A) and (X 2, A) are said to be equivalent, if there is a simple homotopy equivalence between X 1 and X 2 relative to A. The set of such equivalence classes form a group where the addition is given by taking union of X 1 and X 2 with common subspace A. This group is natural isomorphic to the Whitehead group Wh(A) of the CW-complex A.

Given two projective frames of a projective space P, there is exactly one homography of P that maps the first frame onto the second one. If the dimension of a projective space P is at least two, every collineation of P is the composition of an automorphic collineation and a homography. In particular, over the reals, every collineation of a ...
