TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.Cellular.SkeletonNeighborhood

The skeletal pair and the skeleton with the cell cores removed #

For a relative CW complex, the skeletal pair (Xⁿ, Xⁿ⁻¹) — in Tau Ceti's indexing TauCeti.skeletonPair C n, with ambient space skeletonLT C (n + 1) — includes into the pair TauCeti.skeletonNeighborhoodPair C n, whose subspace TauCeti.skeletonNeighborhood C n is Xⁿ with the inner half of every open n-cell removed. The endpoint TauCeti.skeletonNeighborhoodEndpoint of the radial deformation TauCeti.skeletonNeighborhoodHomotopy is a homotopy inverse of this inclusion of pairs, the deformation itself supplying both homotopies, so the inclusion induces isomorphisms on relative singular homology in every degree. In particular the cellular chain group Hₙ(Xⁿ, Xⁿ⁻¹) is the relative homology of (Xⁿ, TauCeti.skeletonNeighborhood C n).

The point of the replacement is excision: unlike Xⁿ⁻¹, the subspace TauCeti.skeletonNeighborhood C n contains Xⁿ⁻¹ in its interior (TauCeti.skeletonLT_subset_interior_skeletonNeighborhood), so Xⁿ⁻¹ can be excised from the new pair, leaving the open n-cells relative to their outer halves.
