Hi, All:
Let X be any topological space, and let A,B be subspaces of X that are homeomorphic
to each other. Does it follow that the quotients X/A and X/B are homeomorphic?
I know this is true if A,B are both contractible in X , since we then have X/A ~X ~X/B
But I'm not sure otherwise. Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance.
