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.
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.

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 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.
