Local homology along open embeddings #
A continuous map j : M → N with j ⁻¹' T ⊆ S induces a map
Hₖ(M, M ∖ S) ⟶ Hₖ(N, N ∖ T) of local homology groups (TauCeti.localHomologyMap). When j is
an open embedding, T is closed and contained in the image of j, and S = j ⁻¹' T, this map is
an isomorphism (TauCeti.isIso_localHomologyMap): by excision, local
homology along T may be computed in the open neighbourhood j(M) of T, which j identifies
with M. In particular an open embedding into a T₁ space identifies the local homology of M
at x with that of N at j x (TauCeti.localHomologyIsoOfIsOpenEmbedding).
For Hausdorff spaces M and N modelled on the same finite-dimensional real normed space,
these isomorphisms intertwine the transport of local homology along paths
(TauCeti.localHomologyTransport_comp_localHomologyIsoOfIsOpenEmbedding_hom): the local
homology system of M is the pullback along j of the local homology system of N. This holds
because a chart of M, read on the open subset j(M) of N, is a chart of N, and transport is
determined by its behaviour along paths inside compact convex sets of charts
(TauCeti.eq_localHomologyTransport). In top degree with integral coefficients it is the
naturality of the orientation local system under open embeddings, through which orientations
restrict to open subsets and are compared along homeomorphisms.

Excision along an open embedding. If j is an open embedding, T is closed and lies in
the image of j, and S = j ⁻¹' T, then j induces an isomorphism
Hₖ(M, M ∖ S) ≅ Hₖ(N, N ∖ T).
An open embedding j : M → N into a T₁ space identifies the local homology of M at x
with the local homology of N at j x.

Open embeddings intertwine the transport of local homology. For an open embedding
j : M → N of Hausdorff spaces modelled on the same finite-dimensional real normed space, the
isomorphisms Hₖ(M, M ∖ {x}) ≅ Hₖ(N, N ∖ {j x}) induced by j carry the transport of local
homology of M along a path class to the transport of local homology of N along its image.
