Without context this is impossible to answer. The same term is used differently in different contexts.
 
Maybe only commonality is that it's functorial in nature *
*As well as in the wild ;).
Edit: In Algebraic Topology, given f: X-->Y, and groups G/N in X, G'/N' in Y( some (co) homology or Homotopy groups associated to each of X,Y, with N normal in G. N' normal in G), often designated as i* I believe they're of the form:
i*([a])=([f([a])]), from G/N to G'/N'. So a map between cosets.

So, e.g., the homotopy class [a] of ## \pi_1(X)## as above, is sent to the class [f(a)] in ##\pi_1(Y)##.

The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
