Triangular homotopy equivalences
Abstract
A map to a simplicial complex is called a -triangular homotopy equivalence if it has a homotopy inverse and homotopies , such that for all simplices , is a homotopy equivalence with inverse and homotopies and . In this paper we prove that for all pairs of finite-dimensional locally finite simplicial complexes there is an such that any -controlled homotopy equivalence for is homotopic to a -triangular homotopy equivalence. Conversely, we conjecture that it is possible to `subdivide' a -triangular homotopy equivalence by finding a homotopic -triangular homotopy equivalence, consequently a -triangular homotopy equivalence would be homotopic to an -controlled homotopy equivalence for all .
