The Whitehead conjecture is a statement in the field of topology, particularly concerning the structure of certain types of topological spaces and groups. It posits that if a certain type of group, specifically a finitely generated group, has a particular kind of embedding in a higher-dimensional space, then this embedding can be lifted to a map from a higher-dimensional space itself.
