âThe homotopy of chain maps on preabelian categories is investigated and the equality of standard homologies and d-homologies of homotopic chain maps is establishedâ. âAs a special case if X and Y are the same homotopy typeâ, âthen their nth d-homology R-modules are isomorphic and if X is a contractible space, then its nth d-homology R-modules for n=\0 are trivialâ.
