Ideal Perturbation Lemma

Algebraic Topology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We explain the essence of perturbation problems. The key to understanding is the structure of chain homotopy equivalence -- the standard one must be replaced by a finer notion which we call a strong chain homotopy equivalence. We prove an Ideal Perturbation Lemma and show how both new and classical results follow from this ideal statement.
