Pullbacks in TopCat #
A commutative square of topological spaces whose top horizontal map is an embedding and whose bottom horizontal map is injective is a pullback when the range of the top map is the preimage of the range of the bottom one. This range criterion is useful for geometric constructions presented as embedded open subspaces.
The base change TopCat.pullbackFst g p of a morphism p : E ⟶ B along g : B' ⟶ B has the
same fibres as p: its fibre over b' is the fibre of p over g b'
(TopCat.Hom.fiberPullbackFstIso).
