In mathematics, Spanier–Whitehead duality is a duality theory in homotopy theory, based on a geometrical idea that a topological space X may be considered as dual to its complement in the n-sphere, where n is large enough. Its origins lie in Alexander duality theory, in homology theory, concerning complements in manifolds. The theory is also referred to as S-duality, but this can now cause possible confusion with the S-duality of string theory. It is named for Edwin Spanier and J. H. C. Whitehead, who developed it in papers from 1955.

  • In der Algebraischen Topologie, einem Teilgebiet der Mathematik, bezeichnet S-Dualität eine Dualität zwischen topologischen Spektren und damit zwischen verallgemeinerten Homologie- und Kohomologietheorien. (de)

What is determined, however, is the , which was conceived as a first approximation to homotopy type. Thus Spanier–Whitehead duality fits into stable homotopy theory. (en)
