Delta-generated closed balls #
A topological space is delta-generated (Mathlib's DeltaGeneratedSpace) when its topology is
coinduced by all continuous maps from the spaces Fin n → ℝ. This file shows that every closed
ball of a delta-generated real normed space, such as Fin n → ℝ, is delta-generated
(TauCeti.instDeltaGeneratedSpaceClosedBall). An empty ball is covered by
TauCeti.instIsGeneratedByOfIsEmpty. For a nonnegative radius, the radial retraction
TauCeti.centeredRadialRetraction is a continuous retraction of the space onto the ball. A
retraction is a quotient map, and quotients of delta-generated spaces are delta-generated.
The closed unit balls of Fin n → ℝ are the domains of the characteristic maps of a classical CW
complex, so this is the input for showing that CW complexes are delta-generated, in
TauCeti.Topology.CWComplex.Classical.DeltaGenerated.
A closed ball of a delta-generated real normed space is delta-generated. This holds for every closed ball, including an empty one.
