Abstract

This paper deals with finite-dimensional CW complexes equipped with reference maps to a fixed metric space and maps between such complexes that respect the reference maps up to a bounded distortion. We prove two Whitehead Theorems for such maps f f . The Bounded Whitehead Theorem allows one to decide whether f f is a bounded homotopy equivalence. The Thin Whitehead Theorem allows one to decide when a map of bound zero admits homotopy inverses of arbitrarily small bound (also on the homotopies). Both theorems come in two versions: One that deals with homotopy in all dimensions; one where homotopy in dimensions at least two is replaced by homology of "universal covers".
