SimplyConnectedSpace (OnePoint ℂ) (CC-sphere-topology, design §2) #
Unit: sphere-topology (docs/design/sphere-topology.md §2). No van Kampen: OnePoint ℂ's two
polar caps {∞}ᶜ/{↑0}ᶜ are each homeomorphic to ℂ (hence simply connected), and the
paths-and-integrals unit's loop-perturbation lemma RS.Loop.exists_homotopic_avoiding pushes any
based loop off whichever of ∞/↑0 is NOT its basepoint, landing it inside one of the two simply
connected caps.
Note on RS.Loop.exists_homotopic_avoiding: this file was written and compiled against that
lemma's stated signature while Jacobian/Path/Perturb.lean still carried one documented
placeholder step upstream (the general multi-chart induction, design risk R4 of
paths-and-integrals). That placeholder has since been resolved upstream (see docs/build-log.md,
"Perturb.lean FIXED"), so this file now consumes a fully proved lemma; nothing here needed to
change.
Main declarations:
RS.SphereTopology.isSimplyConnected_compl_infty/isSimplyConnected_compl_coeZero.instance : PathConnectedSpace (OnePoint ℂ).RS.SphereTopology.simplyConnectedSpace_onePoint(the headline instance).RS.SphereTopology.simplyConnectedSpace_of_homeoOnePoint(homeomorphism transfer).RS.SphereTopology.simplyConnectedSpace_sphere(the challenge sphere model).
Both "polar caps" of the two-chart atlas are simply connected: they are each homeomorphic to
ℂ (contractible), via the open embedding (↑) : ℂ → OnePoint ℂ for {∞}ᶜ.
The other polar cap, {↑0}ᶜ, is simply connected too (feeds the x = ∞ case of the
basepoint split), via inversionHomeomorph swapping ∞ ↔ ↑0.
OnePoint ℂ is path connected (local path-connectedness transports through the two-chart
atlas from ℂ's local convexity, combined with the existing ConnectedSpace instance).
The headline of this file: no van Kampen, no universal cover — assembled from the perturbation lemma + the two polar-cap facts above.
Homeomorphism transfer (generic; consumed by Headline.lean and anything producing
X ≃ₜ OnePoint ℂ).
Same fact stated for the literal challenge sphere type, for convenience/reuse.
