Basepoint change for fundamental-group subgroups #

The pointed classification of connected covers records a subgroup of the fundamental group at a chosen basepoint. Changing the basepoint along a path transports that subgroup by the standard path-conjugation isomorphism of fundamental groups. This file packages that transport and the induced transport of the normalizer quotient N(H) / H used for deck groups of covers attached to subgroups.

Mathlib already supplies the fundamental-group isomorphism FundamentalGroup.fundamentalGroupMulEquivOfPath; the declarations here are only the subgroup and normalizer-quotient bookkeeping needed by the universal-covers roadmap.

This supplies a small prerequisite for TauCetiRoadmap/UniversalCovers/README.md, Stage 2, items 7 and 8: the pointed cover attached to H ≤ π₁(X, x₀), conjugacy under basepoint change, and the normalizer quotient N(H) / H appearing as the deck group of that cover.

noncomputable def TauCeti.FundamentalGroup.basepointChangeSubgroup {X : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace X] {x₀ x₁ : X} (γ : Path x₀ x₁) (H : Subgroup (FundamentalGroup X x₀)) :

The subgroup of π₁(X, x₁) obtained from H ≤ π₁(X, x₀) by changing basepoint along a path γ : Path x₀ x₁. This is the subgroup-level form of conjugating loops by γ.

    Membership in the subgroup transported along a basepoint-change path.

    @[simp]

    Membership in a transported subgroup, expressed by applying the inverse basepoint-change isomorphism.

    A subgroup of the target fundamental group is contained in the transported subgroup iff its inverse basepoint-change image is contained in the original subgroup.

    The transported subgroup is contained in a target subgroup iff the original subgroup is contained in the target subgroup's inverse image under basepoint change.

    Basepoint-change transport is monotone on subgroups.

    Normality is invariant under basepoint-change transport.

    A normal subgroup remains normal after basepoint-change transport.

      On normalizer representatives, basepoint-change transport is induced by the path-conjugation isomorphism of fundamental groups.

      @[simp]

      The inverse basepoint-change transport sends a target representative to the inverse path-conjugation representative.

      On representatives, basepoint-change transport applies the path-conjugation isomorphism of fundamental groups.
