Continuous maps between spaces induce Homomorphisms between the homotopy groups of those spaces. Is their some general condition that, if true, will imply that the induced map is non-trivial? I'm not a topologist, but I've always been curious if there was any way of guaranteeing this - and, if not, what the value of this fact would be (aside from the homotopy groups being functorial - or is that the value?) Thanks for any help:-) 24.3.61.185 ( talk) 13:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
