Path connectedness #
Main definitions #
In the file the unit interval [0, 1] in ℝ is denoted by I, and X is a topological space.
Path (x y : X)is the type of paths fromxtoy, i.e., continuous maps fromItoXmapping0toxand1toy.Path.mapis the image of a path under a continuous map.Joined (x y : X)means there is a path betweenxandy.Joined.somePath (h : Joined x y)selects some path between two pointsxandy.pathComponent (x : X)is the set of points joined tox.PathConnectedSpace Xis a predicate class asserting thatXis non-empty and every two points ofXare joined.
Then there are corresponding relative notions for F : Set X.
JoinedIn F (x y : X)means there is a pathγjoiningxtoywith values inF.JoinedIn.somePath (h : JoinedIn F x y)selects a path fromxtoyinsideF.pathComponentIn F (x : X)is the set of points joined toxinF.IsPathConnected Fasserts thatFis non-empty and every two points ofFare joined inF.LocPathConnectedSpace Xis a predicate class asserting thatXis locally path-connected: each point has a basis of path-connected neighborhoods (we do not ask these to be open).
## Main theorems
One can link the absolute and relative version in two directions, using (univ : Set X) or the
subtype ↥F.
pathConnectedSpace_iff_univ : PathConnectedSpace X ↔ IsPathConnected (univ : Set X)isPathConnected_iff_pathConnectedSpace : IsPathConnected F ↔ PathConnectedSpace ↥F
For locally path connected spaces, we have
pathConnectedSpace_iff_connectedSpace : PathConnectedSpace X ↔ ConnectedSpace XIsOpen.isConnected_iff_isPathConnected (U_op : IsOpen U) : IsPathConnected U ↔ IsConnected U
Implementation notes #
By default, all paths have I as their source and X as their target, but there is an
operation Set.IccExtend that will extend any continuous map γ : I → X into a continuous map
IccExtend zero_le_one γ : ℝ → X that is constant before 0 and after 1.
This is used to define Path.extend that turns γ : Path x y into a continuous map
γ.extend : ℝ → X whose restriction to I is the original γ, and is equal to x
on (-∞, 0] and to y on [1, +∞).
