Absolute neighborhood retract

In mathematics, especially algebraic topology, an absolute neighborhood retract (or ANR) is a "nice" topological space that is considered in homotopy theory; more specifically, in the theory of retracts.

For a more general introduction to ANRs, see also Retraction (topology)#Absolute neighborhood retract (ANR). This article focuses more on results on ANRs.
