Basic results on fundamental groupoids and fundamental groups #

This file records a basic connectedness result for fundamental groupoids and when a map induced on fundamental groups is trivial: a characterization of trivial range loop by loop, and the basic consequences of triviality of the source fundamental group.

TauCeti.FundamentalGroup.map_range_eq_bot_iff was extracted from the proof of semilocallySimplyConnectedAt_iff_range_eq_bot in TauCeti/AlgebraicTopology/SemilocallySimplyConnected/On.lean, which is adapted from the Mathlib drafts #31449, #31576, and #38292 by Kim Morrison, for Stage 0.1 of the TauCetiRoadmap/UniversalCovers roadmap.

Main declarations #

In the fundamental groupoid of a path-connected space every object receives a morphism from every other one, so the groupoid is connected.

Mapping a loop class represented by a path is represented by mapping that path.

theorem TauCeti.FundamentalGroup.map_range_eq_bot_iff {X : Type u_2} [TopologicalSpace X] {Y : Type u_4} [TopologicalSpace Y] (f : C(X, Y)) (base : X) :
(FundamentalGroup.map f base).range = ⊥ ↔ ∀ (γ : Path base base), (γ.map ⋯).Homotopic (Path.refl (f base))

The induced map is trivial exactly loop by loop. The map on fundamental groups induced by f has trivial range if and only if every loop at the basepoint becomes nullhomotopic after applying f.

@[simp]

If the source fundamental group is subsingleton, the range of any induced map from it is trivial.

A simply connected domain has trivial induced fundamental-group range.

If the source fundamental group is subsingleton, its induced-map range lies in any target subgroup.

@[simp]

If the source fundamental group is subsingleton, the range of the induced map transported to a prescribed target basepoint is trivial.

A simply connected domain has induced fundamental-group range contained in any target subgroup.
