Loop space
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The space $\Omega X$ of all loops (cf. Loop (in topology)) at the point $*$ in a topological space $X$ with distinguished point $*$, endowed with the compact-open topology. A loop space is a fibre in the Serre fibration $(E,p,X)$ over the space $X$ (here $E$ is the path space).
