About deformation retract of pairs

149 Views Asked by At

Here: Relationship between homology of suspension of $X$ and $X$, Joe Moeller argued that $(\Sigma X\setminus U,C_-^n\setminus U)$ deformation retracts to $(C_+^n,X)$. I don't know the definition of deformation retracts of pairs, could someone tell me?
