homotopy invariant functor and homotopic maps
1. Proposition
Let be a category,
a functor.
TFAE:
is homotopy equivalent as in factorization through Category hTop
- for homotopic maps
it follows, that
2. Proof
2.1. 1)
2)
Let
Let be homotopic maps, then
2.2. 2)
1)
Let
Then since is object-injective and homotopic maps get mapped to the same morphism, this functor is welldefined
Functorality follows from
and
