The Whitehead problem is a classic question in the field of algebraic topology, specifically in the area of group theory relating to homotopy theory. Formulated by the mathematician J.H.C. Whitehead in the 1940s, the problem asks whether a certain type of homomorphism between two groups can be lifted to a homotopy equivalence.
