👉 Isotopy in mathematics refers to a property of continuous mappings between topological spaces. It is a fundamental concept that allows us to define and study properties related to continuous transformations on manifolds, such as homeomorphisms or diffeomorphisms. In topology, an isotopy is a continuous mapping from one topological space to another where the resulting map preserves the distance between points. This means it can be used to describe how two paths in the spaces approach each other without changing their
