Nonsingular simplicial sets #
In this file, we introduce a typeclass SSet.Nonsingular for a
simplicial set X : SSet: it says that for any non-degenerate simplex
x : X _⦋n⦌, the corresponding morphism Δ[n] ⟶ X is a monomorphism.
This notion is useful in the context of the study of the subdivision
functor (TODO @joelriou).
The condition SSet.Nonsingular is a weaker condition compared
to the notion of "polyhedral complex" which appears in the article
Simplicial approximation by Jardine, and which says that there
exists a monomorphism X ⟶ nerve T where T is a partially ordered type.
References #
A simplicial set X is nonsingular if for any
nondegenerate simplex x (of dimension n), the corresponding
morphism Δ[n] ⟶ X is a monomorphism.
Instances
If x : X _⦋n⦌ is a nondegenerate simplex of a nonsingular simplcial set,
this is the isomorphism Δ[n] ≅ Subcomplex.ofSimplex x induced by x.
Equations
Instances For
Given an inequality x ≤ y between nondegenerate simplices of a
nonsingular simplicial set X, this is the corresponding morphism
⦋x.dim⦌ ⟶ ⦋y.dim⦌ in the simplex category.
