SOME PROPERTIES OF PROXIMAL HOMOTOPY THEORY

Abstract

Nearness theory comes into play in homotopy theory because the notion of closeness between points is essential in determining whether two spaces are homotopy equivalent. While nearness theory and homotopy theory have different focuses and tools, they are intimately connected through the concept of a metric space and the notion of proximity between points, which plays a central role in both areas of mathematics. This manuscript investigates some concepts of homotopy theory in proximity spaces. Moreover, these concepts are taken into account in descriptive proximity spaces.
