From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Hopf theorem is a statement in differential topology, saying that the topological degree is the only homotopy invariant of continuous maps to spheres.

Let M be an n-dimensional compact oriented manifold and Sn the n-sphere and be continuous. Then
if and only if f and g are homotopic.
