Attaching cells to a CW complex gives a CW complex #

Let c : TopCat.RelativeCWComplex f be a categorical relative CW complex, so that Y is obtained from X by attaching cells along f : X ⟶ Y, and let X carry a classical CW structure. If all the cells of X have dimension less than some N, and c attaches no cells of dimension less than N, then Y is a CW complex (TopCat.RelativeCWComplex.cwComplexTrans) when it is Hausdorff. Its m-cells are the m-cells of X, included by f, together with the cells that c attaches in dimension m (TopCat.RelativeCWComplex.cwComplexTransCellEquiv).

The structure combines the classical relative structure c.toRelCWComplex with the CW structure of X carried to the range of the closed embedding f, by composing relative CW complexes (TauCeti.relCWComplexTrans). The condition on dimensions guarantees the compatibility that composition needs: the boundary of an attached m-cell meets the range of f inside its skeleton below dimension m, which is all of it.

This is how spaces built from a CW complex by attaching cells of higher dimension, such as a presentation complex built from a wedge of circles, or the colimit of a tower of cell attachments killing homotopy groups, are read as CW complexes.

Attaching cells to a CW complex gives a CW complex. If X is a CW complex all of whose cells have dimension less than N, and the relative CW complex c attaches no cells of dimension less than N, then the Hausdorff space Y is a CW complex. Its m-cells are the m-cells of X, included by f, together with the cells attached in dimension m (TopCat.RelativeCWComplex.cwComplexTransCellEquiv).
