Let Sn denote the sphere of all points in Euclidean space Rn + 1 at a distance of 1 from the origin and Dn + 1 the ball of all points in Rn + 1 at a distance not exceeding 1 from the origin The space X is said to be aspherical if for every n ≧ 2 and every continuous mapping: f: Sn → X, there exists a continuous mapping g: Dn + 1 → X with restriction to the subspace Sn equal to f. Thus, the only homotopy group of X which might be non-zero is the fundamental group τ1(X, *) ≅ G. If X is also a cell-complex, it is called a K(G, 1). If X and Y are K(G, l)'s, then they have the same homotopy type, and consequently

A dissection of the disk will be a cell complex (1, p. 39) K with polyhedron the closed disk B2. It will further be required that: (a) every edge of K be incident with two distinct vertices (called its ends) ;(b) no two edges have the same ends ; and(b) no two edges have the same ends ; and

AbstractAn n-dimensional analogue of the Klein bottle arose in our study of topological complexity of planar polygon spaces. We determine its integral cohomology algebra and stable homotopy type, and give an explicit immersion and embedding in Euclidean space.

Let M be an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We study the fundamental group of M when the universal covering space of M, M is close to some Euclidean space ℝs asymptotically.
