Characterizing the Homotopy of Path-Connected Space

30 Views Asked by At

I am currently really stuck and confused about the following problem from Topology II of Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences (Springer, Novikov/Fuchs):

Give an example of two path-connected spaces that are weak homotopy equivalent but not homotopy equivalent.

The problem is that I am not sure if there are such examples at all considering the Serre fibration lacking for path-connected spaces or their basis. Could you enlighten me?
