In mathematics, particularly algebraic topology, cohomotopygroups are contravariant functors from the category of topological spaces and continuous maps to the category of groups and group homomorphisms.
They are dual to the homotopygroups, but less studied.
If p ≥ 1 + m/2, this is an abelian group with union of disjoint such manifolds as composition.
Cohomotopy groupIn mathematics, particularly algebraic topology, cohomotopygroups are contravariant functors from the category of topological spaces and continuous maps to the category of groups and group homomorphisms.
Homotopygroups of spheresIn mathematics, the homotopygroups of spheres are the groups πk(Sn) in algebraic topology, more specifically homotopy theory, where πk(.) for k ≥ 1 denotes the homotopygroup and Sn the n-sphere.
If, in addition, X and Y are path-connected, then the group homomorphisms induced by f and g on the level of homotopy groupsIn mathematics, homotopygroups are used in algebraic topology to classify topological spaces.
the homology and cohomology groups of X and Y are isomorphicIn abstract algebra, a group isomorphism is a function between two groups that sets up a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the groups in a way that respects the given group operations.

Homotopy(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
In topology, two continuous functions from one topological space to another are called homotopic if one can be "continuously deformed" into the other, such a deformation being called a homotopy between the two functions.
An outstanding use of homotopy is the definition of homotopygroups and cohomotopygroups, important invariants in algebraic topology.
A typical homotopy invariant is the fundamental group of a space, already mentioned earlier.
For finite groups the representation ring and the Burnside ring are related to all these topics simultaneously and for infinite groups the notion seems to split up into differ* *ent ones which fall together for finite groups but not in general.
The abelian groups ssGn(Y) define covariant functors in Y and are called the equiv* *a- riant stable homotopygroups of Y.
Define the covariant Burnside group A_(G) of a group G to be the Grothendieck group which is associated to the abelian monoid under disjoint union of G-isomorphism classes of proper cofinite G-sets S, i.e.
Stable and unstable homotopygroups Another important precursor of stable algebraic topology was a substantial in- crease in the understanding of the relationship between stable and unstable hom* *o- topygroups and of certain fundamental exact sequences relating homotopygroups in different dimensions.
Moreover, the existence of a stable range for the homotopygroups of T SO(k) and T O(k) is proven by direct methods of algebraic topology, rather than as a consequence of the isomorphism between homotopygroups and cobordismgroups.
The group J00(X) is KO(X)=W (X), where W (X) is the subgroup generated by all elements ke(k)(k - 1)y for a suitable function e.
This group is finitely generated (since Y has finite type), and so the composite is zero.
Indeed, by hypothesis, the cokernel of ssn f is a (necessarily finite) torsion group.
In order to describe them, we let D denote the class of abelian groups which are the sum of a finitely generated free group and a bounded torsion group.

In topology, two continuous functions from one topological space to another are called homotopic (Greek homos = identical and topos = place) if one can be "continuously deformed" into the other, such a deformation being called a homotopy between the two functions.
the (singular) homology and cohomology groups of X and Y are isomorphic
An example of a homotopy invariant is the fundamental group of a space, already mentioned earlier.

AMCA: Stable cohomotopygroups of compact spaces by Slawomir Nowak
Using stable cohomotopygroups we are also able to characterize compact Hausdorff spaces cohomologically equivalent (isomorphic as objects of the stable shape category) to infinite-dimensional spaces, metrizable spaces or finite CW complexes.

Atlas: Stable Shape Theory and its Problems by Slawomir Nowak(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
The Cech extension of any generalized cohomology functor (defined on the homotopycategory of finite CW complexes) factorizes via ShStab.
A stable shape morphism f is an isomorphism of ShStab iff it induces isomorphism of the integral cohomology groups and isomorphisms of the stable cohomotopygroups \pi
We consider also a relation of having the same I-type (which determines a coarser classification then the classification up to stable shape) and a property to be a movable at infinity space.
