In this paper we study the group of pointed proper homotopy classes of proper pointed maps from (ℝn+1, 0) to a pointed σ-compact space (X, x) and prove the existence of a diagram of exact sequences linking the groups with the Brown—Grossman groups , the Steenrod groups πn(X) and the classical Hurewicz homotopy groups πn(X).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
