Uniform and Lipschitz homotopy classes of maps

From MaRDI portal





Le \(X\) be a compact connected polyhedron. The author associates to each uniform homotopy class of uniformly continuous mappings from the real line \(\mathbb{R}\) into \(X\) an element of \(H_1(X,U/U_0)\). Here \(U\) denotes the space of uniformly continuous maps from \(\mathbb{R}\) to \(\mathbb{R}\) and \(U_0\) the subspace consisting of the bounded ones. This association is shown to be surjective in general and bijective when \(X\) is the \(n\)-dimensional torus. To extend his construction to higher dimensions, the author replaces \(\mathbb{R}\) by a Riemannian manifold \(P\). He defines a map from the set of smooth Lipschitz homotopy classes of smooth Lipschitz maps from \(P\) to \(X\) to \(H_n(X,B^+,B^+_0)\). Here \(B\) denotes the space of bounded continuous maps from the positive real axis to \(\mathbb{R}\), and \(B^+_0\) the subspace of functions \(f\) such that \(\lim_{t\to\infty} f(t)= 0\).
