Maps of simplices in Milnor's countable join #
A homomorphism sends a simplex of the countable join to a simplex of the same dimension, even when the homomorphism is not injective: distinct vertices of a simplex have distinct indices, which the map preserves. The increasing-index orientation is preserved as well. Consequently the map commutes with deleting vertices and with forgetting indices to obtain the tuple indexing a standard-resolution generator.
The characteristic-map formula identifies this cell map with the existing continuous map
MonoidHom.universalGSpaceMap. These formulas supply the combinatorial input to naturality
of the comparison between join chains and the standard resolution. The relabelling map is
also the realization of MonoidHom.universalGSpaceSimplicialMap, so its restriction
MonoidHom.universalGSpaceCellularMap to the universal subsets used by cellular chains is
cellular, as proved by MonoidHom.isCellular_universalGSpaceCellularMap.

Relabelling vertices as a simplicial map for the increasing-index vertex orders. This uses the decidable equality of those orders, so it can be passed directly to the ordered-cell and cellular-chain comparison APIs.
Instances For
Relabelling is strictly increasing on each simplex for the increasing-index orders, even if the homomorphism is not injective.
Apply a homomorphism to the labels of a simplex, preserving its indices and dimension.
Instances For

Relabelling simplices as a map equivariant along the group homomorphism.
Instances For
The identity homomorphism gives the identity equivariant map on simplices.
The continuous total-space map carries each characteristic map to the characteristic map of the relabelled simplex, with the same disk coordinates.

The continuous map on Milnor joins preserves the simplicial CW filtrations. The map is restricted to the universal subsets used by cellular chains.
