2Simply connected space — In topology, a topological space is called simply connected (or 1 connected) if it is path connected and every path between two points can be continuously transformed, staying within the space, into any other path while preserving the two… …
3Deformation retract — Retract redirects here. For other meanings including concepts in group theory and category theory, see Retraction (disambiguation). In topology, a branch of mathematics, a retraction [1], as the name suggests, retracts an entire space into a… …
4Alexander duality — In mathematics, Alexander duality refers to a duality theory presaged by a result of 1915 by J. W. Alexander, and subsequently further developed, particularly by P. S. Alexandrov and Lev Pontryagin. It applies to the homology theory properties of …
5Aspherical space — In topology, an aspherical space is a topological space with all higher homotopy groups equal to {0}. If one works with CW complexes, one can reformulate this condition: an aspherical CW complex is a CW complex whose universal cover is… …
6A∞-operad — In the theory of operads in algebra and algebraic topology, an A∞ operad is a parameter space for a multiplication map that is associative up to all higher homotopies, but not necessarily commutative. (An operad that describes a multiplication… …
7E∞-operad — In the theory of operads in algebra and algebraic topology, an E∞ operad is a parameter space for a multiplication map that is associative and commutative up to all higher homotopies. (An operad that describes a multiplication that is associative …
