nth homotopy group

We define the nth homotopy group at x : X, π_n X x, as the equivalence classes of functions from the n-dimensional cube to the topological space X that send the boundary to the base point x, up to homotopic equivalence. Note that such functions are generalized loops GenLoop (Fin n) x; in particular GenLoop (Fin 1) x ≃ Path x x.

We show that π_0 X x is equivalent to the path-connected components, and that π_1 X x is equivalent to the fundamental group at x. We provide a group instance using path composition and show commutativity when n > 1.

definitions

• GenLoop N x is the type of continuous functions I^N → X that send the boundary to x,
• HomotopyGroup.Pi n X x denoted π_ n X x is the quotient of GenLoop (Fin n) x by homotopy relative to the boundary,
• group instance Group (π_(n+1) X x),
• commutative group instance CommGroup (π_(n+2) X x).

TODO:

• Ω^M (Ω^N X) ≃ₜ Ω^(M⊕N) X, and Ω^M X ≃ₜ Ω^N X when M ≃ N. Similarly for π_.
• Path-induced homomorphisms. Show that HomotopyGroup.pi1EquivFundamentalGroup is a group isomorphism.
• Examples with 𝕊^n: π_n (𝕊^n) = ℤ, π_m (𝕊^n) trivial for m < n.
• Actions of π_1 on π_n.
• Lie algebra: ⁅π_(n+1), π_(m+1)⁆ contained in π_(n+m+1).
