Restricting a pair of simplicial sets to a subcomplex #
For a pair of simplicial sets P, given by a monomorphism P.hom : P.left ⟶ P.right, and a
subcomplex S of the ambient simplicial set P.right, the restriction P.restrict S is the pair
(S, S ∩ P.left), whose subcomplex is the preimage of S under P.hom. The inclusions of S
and of its preimage assemble into a morphism of pairs P.restrictι S : P.restrict S ⟶ P, and a
morphism of pairs f : P ⟶ P' carrying S into S' restricts to a morphism
SSetPair.restrictMap f h : P.restrict S ⟶ P'.restrict S'. Restriction of morphisms is compatible
with the inclusions (SSetPair.restrictMap_comp_restrictι), with identities
(SSetPair.restrictMap_id) and with composition (SSetPair.restrictMap_comp).
Restriction is the combinatorial step of excision for singular homology, where the singular pair
of a topological pair is restricted to the simplices subordinate to an open cover; the comparison
of relative homology is in TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.SimplicialSet.Homology.Restrict.

of P comes from the subcomplex of P.
