  Our aim in the present article is to introduce and study new types of retractions of Lobachevsky space. Types of the deformation retracts of Lobachevsky space are presented. The relations between the folding and the deformation retract of Lobachevsky space are deduced. Types of minimal retractions of Lobachevsky space are also presented. Also, the isometric and topological folding in each case and the relation between the deformation retracts after and before folding have been obtained. New types of homotopy maps are deduced. Theorems governing this connection are achieved.

Introduction</title><p>Lobachevsky space represents one of the most intriguing and emblematic discoveries in the history of geometry. Although if it were introduced for a purely geometrical purpose, they came into prominence in many branches of mathematics and physics. This association with applied science and geometry generated synergistic effect: applied science gave relevance to Lobachevsky space and Lobachevsky allowed formalizing practical problems ElAhmady [1,2].</p><p>Most folding problems are attractive from a pure mathematical standpoint, for the beauty of the problems themselves. The folding problems have close connections to important industrial applications Linkage folding has applications in robotics and hydraulic tube bending. Paper folding has application in sheet-metal bending, packaging, and air-bag folding. Following the great Soviet geometer, also, used folding to solve difficult problems related to shell structures in civil engineering and aero space design, namely buckling instability El-Ahmady [3,4]. Isometric folding between two Riemannian manifold may be characterized as maps that send piecewise geodesic segments to a piecewise geodesic segments of the same length El-Ahmady [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28859-ref5">5</xref>]. For a topological folding the maps do not preserves lengths El-Ahmady [6,7], i.e. A map<img src="11-7401248\7562c91d-d494-405a-8672-c16041d152e2.jpg" />, where<img src="11-7401248\294bf333-0d29-4880-9281-e1aea5b6e3df.jpg" /> and <img src="11-7401248\5e0a8b20-80fb-46c9-97e6-2fc47a006920.jpg" /> are <img src="11-7401248\3f40d995-37ac-43ab-9c04-23ab9bd77ae0.jpg" />Riemannian manifolds of dimension m and n respectively is said to be an isometric folding of M into N, iff for any piecewise geodesic path<img src="11-7401248\eea5229f-589a-4a20-8c1e-7bd9dc952cd8.jpg" />, the induced path <img src="11-7401248\12d8ed8d-ba68-4cf7-b19c-1d06238a328a.jpg" /> is a piecewise geodesic and of the same length as<img src="11-7401248\1a3ca225-35e8-45ac-8d30-029c60f1e37d.jpg" />. If <img src="11-7401248\ae67cc1e-6507-47a5-b58f-4d7f33e1e99f.jpg" /> does not preserve length, then <img src="11-7401248\09722ac4-7629-4de7-9a26-cac93edc184a.jpg" />&#160;is a topological folding El-Ahmady [8,9].</p><p>A subset A of a topological space X is called a retract of X if there exists a continuous map <img src="11-7401248\bd77175f-3516-4452-b486-e428932074be.jpg" /> such that <img src="11-7401248\c85274c0-3e66-4a06-a300-d739c96932f2.jpg" /> where A is closed and X is open El-Ahmady [10-20]. Also, let X be a space and A a subspace. A map <img src="11-7401248\5b021d62-78c8-4d29-88f2-a49c07fc3562.jpg" /> such that <img src="11-7401248\68b949c6-707a-4e1b-a253-5866bc48ceed.jpg" />&#160;is called a retraction of X&#160;onto A&#160;and A is the called a retract of X Reid [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28859-ref21">21</xref>]. This can be re stated as follows. If <img src="11-7401248\49a2a297-9222-4548-bcaa-b4ef1e340e4f.jpg" /> is the inclusion map, then <img src="11-7401248\9c003693-9577-43cc-8822-399a77830bf4.jpg" /> is a map such that<img src="11-7401248\c9c163d2-5302-4435-bd8d-29b8989b2bac.jpg" />. If, in addition, <img src="11-7401248\b26aab97-8e24-4b5d-803a-9af4c932ec1a.jpg" />, we call <img src="11-7401248\ff40abe4-7f20-461c-9060-160d789f095c.jpg" /> a deformation retract and A&#160;a deformation retract of X Arkowitz [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28859-ref22">22</xref>], Shick [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28859-ref23">23</xref>] and Storn [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28859-ref24">24</xref>].
