In [[mathematics]], in the area of [[algebraic topology]], the '''homotopy extension property''' indicates which [[homotopy|homotopies]] defined on a [[subspace topology|subspace]] can be extended to a homotopy defined on a larger space.

==Definition==
 
Let <math>X\,\!</math> be a [[topological space]], and let <math>A \subset X</math>.
We say that the pair <math>(X,A)\,\!</math> has the '''homotopy extension property''' if, given a homotopy <math>f_t\colon A \rightarrow Y</math> and a map <math>F_0\colon X \rightarrow Y</math> such that <math>F_0 |_A = f_0</math>, there exists an ''extension'' of <math>F_0</math> to a homotopy <math>F_t\colon X \rightarrow Y</math> such that
<math>F_t|_A = f_t</math>. <ref>A. Dold, ''Lectures on Algebraic Topology'', pp. 84, Springer ISBN 3-540-58660-1</ref>
 
That is, the pair <math>(X,A)\,\!</math> has the homotopy extension property if any map
<math>G\colon (X\times \{0\} \cup A\times I) \rightarrow Y</math>
can be extended to a map <math>G'\colon X\times I \rightarrow Y</math> (i.e. <math>G\,\!</math> and <math>G'\,\!</math> agree on their common domain).
 
If the pair has this property only for a certain [[codomain]] <math>Y\,\!</math>, we say that <math>(X,A)\,\!</math> has the homotopy extension property with respect to <math>Y\,\!</math>.
 
==Visualisation==
The homotopy extension property is depicted in the following diagram
 
[[Image:Homotopy_extension_property.svg|175px|center]]
 
If the above diagram (without the dashed map) commutes, which is equivalent to the conditions above, then there exists a map <math> \tilde{f}</math> which makes the diagram commute. By [[currying]], note that a map <math> \tilde{f} \colon X \to Y^I</math> is the same as a map <math> \tilde{f} \colon X\times I \to Y </math>.
 
Also compare this to the visualization of the [[Homotopy_lifting_property#Formal_definition|homotopy lifting property]].
 
==Properties==
* If <math>X\,\!</math> is a [[cell complex]] and <math>A\,\!</math> is a subcomplex of <math>X\,\!</math>, then the pair <math>(X,A)\,\!</math> has the homotopy extension property.
 
* A pair <math>(X,A)\,\!</math> has the homotopy extension property if and only if <math>(X\times \{0\} \cup A\times I)</math> is a [[Deformation retract|retract]] of <math>X\times I.</math>
 
==Other==
 
If <math>\mathbf{\mathit{(X,A)}}</math> has the homotopy extension property, then the simple inclusion map <math>i: A \to X</math> is a [[cofibration]].
 
In fact, if you consider any [[cofibration]] <math>i: Y \to Z</math>, then we have that <math>\mathbf{\mathit{Y}}</math> is [[homeomorphic]] to its image under <math>\mathbf{\mathit{i}}</math>. This implies that any cofibration can be treated as an inclusion map, and therefore it can be treated as having the homotopy extension property.

Hi there. Allow me start by introducing the writer, her title is Sophia Boon but she psychic phone (Click at fashionlinked.com) by no means truly favored that name. Doing ballet is something she would by no means give up. Alaska is the only location I've been residing in but now I'm contemplating other best psychic readings (Click at fashionlinked.com) options. Since he was eighteen he's been working as an info officer but he plans on altering it.
