| 1. | Next, any map on the M�bius group is homotopic to the identity.
|
| 2. | From this point of view, is a homotopic.
|
| 3. | Requiring that two embeddings be isotopic is a stronger requirement than that they be homotopic.
|
| 4. | In particular we find that vector bundles inducing homotopic maps to the Grassmannian are isomorphic.
|
| 5. | The relation of being homotopic is an equivalence relation on paths in a topological space.
|
| 6. | By our assumption, and are piecewise smooth homotopic, there are the piecewise smooth homogony
|
| 7. | This means that we can consider homotopic equivalence class of paths to have different weighting factors.
|
| 8. | But the definition of homotopic relies on a notion of continuity, and hence a topology.
|
| 9. | Isotopy invariance of the linking number is automatically obtained as the degree is invariant under homotopic maps.
|
| 10. | Merker, for instance, argues that the homotopic connectivity of sensory pathways does the necessary work.
