The two-set Seifert--van Kampen theorem for fundamental groupoids #

Suppose that the interiors of two sets A and B cover a space X. This file proves that the square of fundamental groupoids induced by the inclusions

Π(A ∩ B) ⟶ Π(A)
    ↓         ↓
  Π(B)   ⟶  Π(X)

is a pushout in the category of groupoids, with no connectedness assumption on A, B or A ∩ B. More usefully for calculations, the same holds for the fundamental groupoids on a set S of basepoints, provided that S meets every path component of A, of B and of A ∩ B: the full subgroupoids on S of the four fundamental groupoids again form a pushout square. For the circle covered by two arcs, whose intersection has two path components, this requires two basepoints; with a single basepoint, it recovers the hypotheses of the based theorem TauCeti.isPushout_fundamentalGroup.

The first statement is the gluing theorem TauCeti.FundamentalGroupoid.glue for the cover of X by A and B, packaged as TauCeti.FundamentalGroupoid.glueTwo. For the second, choose for every point x a point r x of S together with a homotopy class of paths from x to r x, inside A ∩ B if x ∈ A ∩ B, inside A or B otherwise, and trivial if x ∈ S. Conjugating by these classes retracts each of the four fundamental groupoids onto its full subgroupoid on S, compatibly with the inclusions (TauCeti.InducedCategory.retraction). A cocone over the square on S then becomes a cocone over the full square, to which the first statement applies.

Gluing two functors out of fundamental groupoids. If the interiors of A and B cover X, and FA and FB are functors out of the fundamental groupoids of A and B which agree on the fundamental groupoid of A ∩ B, this is the functor out of the fundamental groupoid of X which restricts to FA and to FB (map_subtypeVal_comp_glueTwo_left, map_subtypeVal_comp_glueTwo_right); it is the unique such functor (eq_glueTwo).

    The two-set van Kampen theorem for fundamental groupoids on a set of basepoints. If the interiors of A and B cover X and the set S meets every path component of A, of B and of A ∩ B, then the square of fundamental groupoids on S induced by the inclusions of A ∩ B into A and B and of A and B into X is a pushout in the category of groupoids.
