A new approach to Whitehead's asphericity question

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate Whitehead's asphericity question from a new perspective, using results and techniques of the homotopy theory of finite topological spaces. We also introduce a method of reduction to investigate asphericity based on the interaction between the combinatorics and the topology of finite spaces.
