If we regard such a category as a presentation of an $(\infty,1)$-[[(infinity,1)-category|category]], then homotopies $f\sim g$ present the 2-cells $f\Rightarrow g$ in the resulting $(\infty,1)$-category. \hypertarget{definition}{}\subsection*{{Definition}}\label{definition} \hypertarget{in_topological_spaces}{}\subsubsection*{{In topological spaces}}\label{in_topological_spaces} \begin{defn} \label{LeftHomotopy}\hypertarget{LeftHomotopy}{} For $f,g\colon X \longrightarrow Y$ two [[continuous functions]] between [[topological spaces]] $X,Y$, then a \textbf{left homotopy} \begin{displaymath} \eta \colon f \,\Rightarrow_L\, g \end{displaymath} is a [[continuous function]] \begin{displaymath} \eta \;\colon\; X \times I \longrightarrow Y \end{displaymath} out of the standard [[cylinder object]] over $X$: the [[product space]] of $X$ with the [[Euclidean space|Euclidean]] [[closed interval]] $I \coloneqq [0,1]$, such that this fits into a [[commuting diagram]] of the form \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ X \\ {}^{\mathllap{(id,\delta_0)}}\downarrow & \searrow^{\mathrlap{f}} \\ X \times I &\stackrel{\eta}{\longrightarrow}& Y \\ {}^{\mathllap{(id,\delta_1)}}\uparrow & \nearrow_{\mathrlap{g}} \\ X } \,. \end{displaymath} (graphics grabbed from J. Tauber \href{http://jtauber.com/blog/2005/07/01/path_homotopy/}{here}) \end{defn} \begin{example} \label{PathsAsLeftHomotopyBetweenPoints}\hypertarget{PathsAsLeftHomotopyBetweenPoints}{} Let $X$ be a [[topological space]] and let $x,y \in X$ be two of its points, regarded as functions $x,y \colon \ast \longrightarrow X$ from the point to $X$. Then a left homotopy, def. \ref{LeftHomotopy}, between these two functions is a commuting diagram of the form \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ \ast \\ {}^{\mathllap{\delta_0}}\downarrow & \searrow^{\mathrlap{x}} \\ I &\stackrel{\eta}{\longrightarrow}& Y \\ {}^{\mathllap{\delta_1}}\uparrow & \nearrow_{\mathrlap{y}} \\ \ast } \,. \end{displaymath} This is simply a continuous path in $X$ whose endpoints are $x$ and $y$. \end{example} \hypertarget{in_enriched_categories}{}\subsubsection*{{In enriched categories}}\label{in_enriched_categories} If $C$ is [[enriched category|enriched]] over [[Top]], then a \textbf{homotopy} in $C$ between maps $f,g:X\,\rightrightarrows \,Y$ is a map $H:[0,1] \to C(X,Y)$ in $Top$ such that $H(0)=f$ and $H(1)=g$. In $Top$ itself this is the classical notion. If $C$ has [[copower|copowers]], then an equivalent definition is a map $[0,1]\odot X\to Y$, while if it has [[power|powers]], an equivalent definition is a map $X\to \pitchfork([0,1],Y)$. There is a similar definition in a [[simplicially enriched category]], replacing $[0,1]$ with the 1-simplex $\Delta^1$, with the caveat that in this case not all \emph{simplicial homotopies} need be composable even if they match correctly. (This depends on whether or not all (2,1)-[[horn]]s in the simplicial set, $C(X,Y)$, have fillers.) Likewise in a [[dg-category]] we can use the ``chain complex interval'' to get a notion of \emph{chain homotopy}. \hypertarget{in_model_categories}{}\subsubsection*{{In model categories}}\label{in_model_categories} If $\mathcal{C}$ is a [[model category]], it has an intrinsic notion of homotopy determined by its factorizations. For more on the following see at \emph{[[homotopy in a model category]]}. \begin{defn} \label{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory}\hypertarget{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory}{} Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a [[model category]] and $X \in \mathcal{C}$ an [[object]]. \begin{itemize}% \item A \textbf{[[path object]]} $Path(X)$ for $X$ is a factorization of the [[diagonal]] $\nabla_X \colon X \to X \times X$ as \end{itemize} \begin{displaymath} \nabla_X \;\colon\; X \underoverset{\in W}{i}{\longrightarrow} Path(X) \overset{(p_0,p_1)}{\longrightarrow} X \times X \,. \end{displaymath} where $X\to Path(X)$ is a weak equivalence. This is called a \textbf{good path object} if in addition $Path(X) \to X \times X$ is a fibration. \begin{itemize}% \item A \textbf{[[cylinder object]]} $Cyl(X)$ for $X$ is a factorization of the [[codiagonal]] (or ``fold map'') $\Delta_X: X \sqcup X \to X$ as \end{itemize} \begin{displaymath} \Delta_X \;\colon\; X \sqcup X \overset{(i_0,i_1)}{\longrightarrow} Cyl(X) \underoverset{p}{\in W}{\longrightarrow} X \,. \end{displaymath} where $Cyl(X) \to X$ is a weak equivalence. This is called a \textbf{good cylinder object} if in addition $X \sqcup X \to Cyl(X)$ is a cofibration. \end{defn} \begin{remark} \label{RemarkOnChoicesOfNonGoodPathAndCylinderObjects}\hypertarget{RemarkOnChoicesOfNonGoodPathAndCylinderObjects}{} By the factorization axioms every object in a model category has both a good path object and as well as a good cylinder object according to def. \ref{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory}. But in some situations one is genuinely interested in using non-good such objects. For instance in the [[classical model structure on topological spaces]], the obvious object $X\times [0,1]$ is a cylinder object, but not a good cylinder unless $X$ itself is cofibrant (a [[cell complex]] in this case). More generally, the path object $Path(X)$ of def. \ref{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory} is analogous to the [[powering]] $\pitchfork(I,X)$ with an [[interval object]] and the cyclinder object $Cyl(X)$ is analogous to the [[tensoring]] with a cylinder object $I\odot X$. In fact, if $\mathcal{C}$ is a $V$-[[enriched model category]] and $X$ is fibrant/cofibrant, then these powers and copowers are in fact examples of (good) path and cylinder objects if the [[interval object]] is sufficiently good. \end{remark} \begin{defn} \label{LeftAndRightHomotopyInAModelCategory}\hypertarget{LeftAndRightHomotopyInAModelCategory}{} Let $f,g \colon X \longrightarrow Y$ be two [[parallel morphisms]] in a [[model category]]. \begin{itemize}% \item A \textbf{left homotopy} $\eta \colon f \Rightarrow_L g$ is a morphism $\eta \colon Cyl(X) \longrightarrow Y$ from a [[cylinder object]] of $X$, def. \ref{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory}, such that it makes this [[commuting diagram|diagram commute]]: \end{itemize} \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ X &\longrightarrow& Cyl(X) &\longleftarrow& X \\ & {}_{\mathllap{f}}\searrow &\downarrow^{\mathrlap{\eta}}& \swarrow_{\mathrlap{g}} \\ && Y } \,. \end{displaymath} \begin{itemize}% \item A \textbf{right homotopy} $\eta \colon f \Rightarrow_R g$ is a morphism $\eta \colon X \to Path(Y)$ to some [[path object]] of $X$, def. \ref{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory}, such that this [[commuting diagram|diagram commutes]]: \end{itemize} \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ && X \\ & {}^{\mathllap{f}}\swarrow & \downarrow^{\mathrlap{\eta}} & \searrow^{\mathrlap{g}} \\ Y &\longleftarrow& Path(Y) &\longrightarrow& Y } \,. \end{displaymath} \end{defn} \begin{remark} \label{}\hypertarget{}{} By remark \ref{RemarkOnChoicesOfNonGoodPathAndCylinderObjects} it follows that in a $Top$-[[enriched model category]], any enriched homotopy between maps $X\to Y$ is a left homotopy if $X$ is cofibrant and a right homotopy if $Y$ is fibrant. Similar remarks hold for other enrichments. \end{remark} For more see at \emph{[[homotopy in a model category]]}. \hypertarget{in_cofibration_categories}{}\subsubsection*{{In (co-)fibration categories}}\label{in_cofibration_categories} Clearly the concepf of left homotopy in def. \ref{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory} only needs part of the model category axioms and thus makes sense more generally in suitable [[cofibration categories]]. Dually, the concepf of path ojects in def. \ref{PathAndCylinderObjectsInAModelCategory} makes sense more generally in suitable [[fibration categories]] such as [[categories of fibrant objects]] in the sense of Brown. Likewise if there is a [[cylinder functor]], one gets functorially defined [[cylinder objects]], etc. \hypertarget{related_concepts}{}\subsection*{{Related concepts}}\label{related_concepts} [[!include homotopy-homology-cohomology]] \begin{itemize}% \item [[left homotopy]], [[right homotopy]] \item [[homotopy relative boundary]] \item [[isotopy]], [[smooth isotopy]] \item [[higher homotopy]] \item [[homotopy class]] \item [[transfor]] \begin{itemize}% \item [[natural transformation]] \item [[pseudonatural transformation]] \item [[lax natural transformation]] \end{itemize} \item [[function extensionality]] \end{itemize} \hypertarget{references}{}\subsection*{{References}}\label{references} See the references at \emph{[[homotopy theory]]} and at \emph{[[model category]]}.
