	Homeomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus a square and a circle are homeomorphic.
		The traditional joke is that the topologist can't tell the coffee cup she is drinking out of from the donut she is eating, since a sufficiently pliable donut could be reshaped to the form of a coffee cup by creating a dimple and progressively enlarging it, while shrinking the hole into a handle.
		Intuitively a homeomorphism maps points in the first object that are "close together" to points in the second object that are close together, and points in the first object that are not close together to points in the second object that are not close together.

	Homeomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the mathematical field of topology a homeomorphism or topological isomorphism (from the Greek words homeos = identical and morphe = shape) is a special isomorphism between topological spaces which respects topological properties.
		Roughly speaking a topological space is a geometric object and the homeomorphism is a continuous stretching and bending of the object into a new shape.
		This characterization of a homeomorphism often leads to confusion with the concept of homotopy, which is actually defined as a continuous deformation, but from one function to another, rather than one space to another.

	Station Information - Homeomorphism
		If two objects are homeomorphic, one can find a continuous function which maps points from the first object to corresponding points of the second object, and vice versa.
		Such a function is called a homeomorphism; intuitively, it maps points in the first object that are "close together" to points in the second object that are close together, and points in the first object that are not close together to points in the second object that are not close together.
		As such, the composition of two homeomorphisms is again a homeomorphism, and the set of all homeomorphisms X → X forms a group.

		In topology, a local homeomorphism is a map from one topological space to another that respects locally the topological structure of the two spaces.
		Homeomorphisms are the ((biology) similarity or identity of form or shape or structure) isomorphisms in the (Click link for more info and facts about category of topological spaces) category of topological spaces.
		As such, the composition of two homeomorphisms is again a homeomorphism, and the set of all self-homeomorphisms X → X forms a ((chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule) group, called the homeomorphism group of X, often denoted Homeo(X).

		It is shown in complex analysis that a complex analytic function f gives a local homeomorphism precisely when the derivative f′(z) is non-zero for all z in the domain of f.
		All covering maps are local homeomorphisms; in particular, the universal cover p : C → X of a space X is a local homeomorphism.
		A bijective local homeomorphism is therefore a homeomorphism.

		In topology, two geometrical objects are called homeomorphic if, roughly speaking, the first can be deformed into the second by stretching and bending; cutting is also allowed, but only if the two parts are later glued back together along exactly the same cut.
		A hollow sphere containing a smaller solid ball is homeomorphic to a hollow sphere with a solid ball outside of it.
		It is an isotopy between the identity map on X and the homeomorphism from X to Y.

	Questions on homeomorphism groups of chainable and homogeneous continua by Beverly L. Brechner

		The homeomorphism groups of those two continua are totally disconnected, and it is still an open question to determine what the dimension is.

	Homeomorphism
		The reader who has had abstract algebra will note that homeomorphism is the analogy in the setting of topological spaces and continuous functions to the notion of isomorphism in the setting of groups (or rings) and homomorphisms, and to that of linear isomorphism in the context of vector spaces and linear maps.
		In general, it may be quite difficult to demonstrate that two spaces are homeomorphic (unless a homeomorphism is obvious or can easily be discovered).

		Clearly, any homeomorphism will have to fix the point of attachment, but more is true: the points of the interval have the property that X-{x} is not connected, but the points of the circle don't; yet all these points have the same kind of neighborhoods.
		It's easy to find a homeomorphism of the unit ball carrying the origin to any other spot, and in fact to do so without moving points on the boundary of the ball.
		I think it may be possible to find other examples based on, say, the Zariski topology, since typically an algebraic variety has only a finite number of self-isomorphisms (and thus in particular the orbit of a point under this family of maps cannot be the whole space).

		To say that there's a homeomorphism between two spaces is to say that they have exactly the same topological structure; only the 'names' of the points are different, and the map tells you how the points in one space correspond to those in the other.
