One may regard homotopy as a special kind of deformation of a given algebraic structure. In this work, we investigate the global counterpart of this phenomenon on the geometric level of the associated symmetric spaces -- on this level, homotopy gives rise to conformal deformations of symmetric spaces. These results are valid in arbitrary dimension and over general base fields and -rings.28 pages, 2nd corrected versionRings and Algebras17C37, 32G99text
