Consider a push-out diagram of spaces C←A→B, construct the homotopy push-out, and then the homotopy pull-back of the diagram one gets by forgetting the initial object A. We compare the difference between A and this homotopy pull-back. This difference is measured in terms of the homotopy fibers of the original maps. Restricting our attention to the connectivity of these maps, we recover the classical Blakers–Massey Theorem.

Considérons un diagramme d’espaces C←A→B, construisons le push-out homotopique, puis le pull-back homotopique du diagramme obtenu en oubliant l’objet initial A. Nous comparons la différence entre A et ce pull-back homomotopique. Cette différence est mesurée en termes des fibres homotopiques des applications originales. En restreignant notre attention sur la connectivité de ces applications nous obtenons la version classique du Théorème de Blakers–Massey.
