Closed embeddings in TopCat #

This file introduces the morphism property TauCeti.TopCat.isClosedEmbedding of TopCat, the closed embeddings, and proves that it is stable under the operations used to build relative cell complexes:

The last point comes from a statement about directed colimits: if all transition maps of a directed diagram are closed embeddings, so are the maps to its colimit (TauCeti.TopCat.isClosedEmbedding_ι_of_isColimit), refining the corresponding statement for injective maps (TauCeti.TopCat.injective_ι_of_isColimit).

With Mathlib's description of a relative cell complex as a transfinite composition of pushouts of coproducts of its basic cells, these stability properties show that a relative cell complex in TopCat whose basic cells are closed embeddings is a closed embedding; see TauCeti.Topology.CWComplex.Abstract.ClosedEmbedding.

    A subset of the corner of a pushout square in TopCat is closed if and only if its preimages under the two maps into the corner are closed.

    In TopCat, the cobase change of a closed embedding is a closed embedding: in a pushout square, the map opposite to a closed embedding is a closed embedding.

    In TopCat, a coproduct of closed embeddings is a closed embedding.

    If all transition maps of a directed diagram in TopCat are closed embeddings, then so are the maps from the objects of the diagram to its colimit.

    If every successor map of a well-order-continuous diagram in TopCat is a closed embedding, then so is every transition map.
