Euclidean disks and their boundaries #

The closed Euclidean disk is contractible, and its boundary is path-connected when the disk has dimension at least two. This module also constructs the standard TopPair consisting of a disk and its boundary, providing the topological input for relative-homology calculations.

Mathlib's TopCat.diskBoundary n is the universe lift of the unit sphere of EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin n). It is homeomorphic to the unit sphere of the Euclidean space EuclideanSpace ℝ (ULift (Fin n)) of the same dimension in the lifted universe (TauCeti.diskBoundaryHomeomorph), which lets results about unit spheres of inner product spaces in that universe be applied to it. In particular the boundary of the 0-disk is empty.

The n-dimensional Euclidean disk is contractible.

The boundary of the n-dimensional disk is path-connected when n ≥ 2.

noncomputable abbrev TauCeti.diskBoundaryPair (n : ℕ) :

The standard pair consisting of the n-dimensional disk and its boundary, used to express relative singular homology of the disk with respect to its boundary.

Equations
Instances For

    The underlying map of diskBoundaryPair n is the standard boundary inclusion.

    The ambient space of the pair consisting of a disk and its boundary is contractible. This lets instances about pairs with contractible ambient space apply to diskBoundaryPair n.

    Mathlib's boundary TopCat.diskBoundary n of the n-disk, the universe lift of the unit sphere of EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin n), is homeomorphic to the unit sphere of the Euclidean space EuclideanSpace ℝ (ULift (Fin n)) of the same dimension in the lifted universe.

      The dimension of the Euclidean space EuclideanSpace ℝ (ULift (Fin n)).

      The boundary of the 0-disk is empty.

      The subspace of the pair consisting of the 0-disk and its boundary is empty. This lets instances about pairs with empty subspace apply to diskBoundaryPair 0.
