The relative homology of a disk and its boundary #
The relative singular homology of the n-disk modulo its boundary is one copy of the coefficient
object in degree n and vanishes in every other degree.
The degree-zero relative homology of a positive-dimensional disk vanishes relative to its
boundary. For the one-dimensional disk, both boundary points determine the same zeroth-homology
class of the disk; in higher dimensions the boundary itself is path-connected. The lower bound is
sharp: for n = 0, the disk is a point and its boundary is empty, so the degree-zero group is one
copy of the coefficient object, identified by the augmentation.
In positive degrees, the disk is contractible, so the reduced connecting morphism of the pair
identifies Hₖ₊₁(Dⁿ, Sⁿ⁻¹) with the reduced homology H~ₖ(Sⁿ⁻¹) of the boundary sphere, which is
computed in TauCeti/AlgebraicTopology/Singular/Sphere.lean. The isomorphism
Hₙ(Dⁿ, Sⁿ⁻¹) ≅ R in the top degree is this connecting morphism followed by the chosen generator
of H~ₙ₋₁(Sⁿ⁻¹), so the connecting morphism carries the generator of the pair to the generator of
the sphere.

The inclusion from the boundary of a disk of dimension at least two is an isomorphism on zeroth singular homology.
The degree-zero relative homology of a positive-dimensional disk and its boundary vanishes.
The relative homology of the pair of the 0-disk and its empty boundary is the ordinary
homology of the point D⁰: the quotient map from ambient to relative singular homology is an
isomorphism, and this is its inverse (TauCeti.singularHomologyDiskBoundaryPairZeroIso_inv).

The comparison from the relative homology of the 0-disk pair to the ordinary homology of the
point is the inverse of the quotient map.

The relative homology of a disk modulo its boundary vanishes outside its dimension:
Hₖ(Dⁿ, Sⁿ⁻¹) = 0 for k ≠ n.
The relative homology of a disk modulo its boundary in its dimension: Hₙ(Dⁿ, Sⁿ⁻¹) ≅ R.
For n = m + 1 it is the reduced connecting isomorphism onto H~ₘ(Sᵐ) followed by the chosen
generator TauCeti.reducedSingularHomologyTopCatSphereIso of the sphere
(TauCeti.singularHomologyDiskBoundaryPairIso_succ_hom); for n = 0 the pair is a point modulo
the empty set and the isomorphism is the augmentation.

In positive dimension, the identification Hₘ₊₁(Dᵐ⁺¹, Sᵐ) ≅ R is the reduced connecting
morphism of the pair followed by the chosen generator of H~ₘ(Sᵐ).
The ordinary connecting morphism sends the disk generator to the boundary-sphere generator, viewed in unreduced homology. In dimension one this is the reduced class of the two endpoints.
