Path connectedness

Continuing from Mathlib/Topology/Path.lean, this file defines path components and path-connected spaces.

Main definitions

In the file the unit interval [0, 1] in ℝ is denoted by I, and X is a topological space.

• Joined (x y : X) means there is a path between x and y.
• Joined.somePath (h : Joined x y) selects some path between two points x and y.
• pathComponent (x : X) is the set of points joined to x.
• PathConnectedSpace X is a predicate class asserting that X is non-empty and every two points of X are joined.

Then there are corresponding relative notions for F : Set X.

• JoinedIn F (x y : X) means there is a path γ joining x to y with values in F.
• JoinedIn.somePath (h : JoinedIn F x y) selects a path from x to y inside F.
• pathComponentIn F (x : X) is the set of points joined to x in F.
• IsPathConnected F asserts that F is non-empty and every two points of F are joined in F.

Main theorems

• Joined is an equivalence relation, while JoinedIn F is at least symmetric and transitive.

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

Furthermore, it is shown that continuous images and quotients of path-connected sets/spaces are path-connected, and that every path-connected set/space is also connected. (See Counterexamples.TopologistsSineCurve for an example of a set in ℝ × ℝ that is connected but not path-connected.)
