Paths in topological spaces

This file introduces continuous paths and provides API for them.

Main definitions

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

• Path x y is the type of paths from x to y, i.e., continuous maps from I to X mapping 0 to x and 1 to y.
• Path.refl x : Path x x is the constant path at x.
• Path.symm γ : Path y x is the reverse of a path γ : Path x y.
• Path.trans γ γ' : Path x z is the concatenation of two paths γ : Path x y, γ' : Path y z.
• Path.map γ hf : Path (f x) (f y) is the image of γ : Path x y under a continuous map f.
• Path.reparam γ f hf hf₀ hf₁ : Path x y is the reparametrisation of γ : Path x y by a continuous map f : I → I fixing 0 and 1.
• Path.truncate γ t₀ t₁ : Path (γ t₀) (γ t₁) is the path that follows γ from t₀ to t₁ and stays constant otherwise.
• Path.extend γ : ℝ → X is the extension γ to ℝ that is constant before 0 and after 1.

Path x y is equipped with the topology induced by the compact-open topology on C(I,X), and several of the above constructions are shown to be continuous.

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, +∞).
