Mathlib.Topology.Homotopy.TopCat.ToSSet

The singular simplicial set functor preserves homotopies #

In this file, we define TopCat.Homotopy.toSSet, which shows that if two morphisms f : X ⟶ Y and g : X ⟶ Y in TopCat are homotopic (h : Homotopy f g), then so are their images by the functor TopCat.toSSet : TopCatSSet. Indeed, if we apply the singular simplicial set functor to the morphism h.h : X ⊗ I ⟶ Y and use that this functor commutes with products, we obtain a morphism toSSet.obj X ⊗ toSSet.obj I ⟶ toSSet.obj Y: the homotopy toSSet.obj X ⊗ Δ[1] ⟶ toSSet.obj Y is deduced by using the morphism SSet.stdSimplex.toSSetObjI : Δ[1] ⟶ toSSet.obj I, which corresponds to the isomorphism SSet.stdSimplex.toTopObjIsoI|Δ[1]| ≅ TopCat.I by adjunction.

If two morphisms f : X ⟶ Y and g : X ⟶ Y in TopCat are homotopic, then so are their images by the functor TopCat.toSSet : TopCatSSet.
