The Second Obstruction Functor

Abstract:
A functor responsible for second obstruction problems is defined and investigated on the category of topological spaces. In terms of this functor we formulate and prove a classification theorem for maps, which is the reformulation of all known classification theorems for the second obstruction.

Keywords:
Obstruction, homotopy, cohomology, cochain operation, $k$-invariant.
