The Whitehead conjecture for weak S-homotopy equivalences of globular CW-complexes
The Whitehead conjecture for weak S-homotopy equivalences of globular CW-complexes
Let be a morphism of globular CW-complexes from to . A weak S-homotopy equivalence is a morphism that induces a bijection between the -skeleta and, for every , a weak homotopy equivalence
An S-homotopy equivalence is a morphism having an inverse up to dihomotopy. Whitehead conjecture. The following assumptions are equivalent:
- is a weak S-homotopy equivalence.
- is an S-homotopy equivalence.
This is the converse of the result that every S-homotopy equivalence is a weak S-homotopy equivalence. The source notes that the conjecture was later solved, so the equivalence is no longer open.
