nLab regular homotopy

Let M,NM, N be manifolds, and let Imm(M,N)Imm(M, N) denote the space of immersions of MM in NN, with the compact-open topology. A regular homotopy between immersions f,g:MNf, g: M \to N is a path α:IImm(M,N)\alpha: I \to Imm(M, N) where α(0)=f\alpha(0) = f and α(1)=g\alpha(1) = g.
