7.4.10. Subcurves
Let and be two finite subsets of .
Let be a subset of and .
Let be a subset of and .
Let .
We define by
when .
This gives an injective map of pointed sets
|
|
|
Note that this is not compatible with composition in general.
We obtain an isomorphism of pointed sets
|
|
|
We have corresponding morphisms of -modules between -spaces in
. Note these are not compatible with the differential.
Assume . The map defines
a canonical embedding of pointed sets (not compatible
with the differential nor the multiplication in general)
|
|
|
Given and two disjoint closed subcurves of , we obtain
a faithful differential pointed functor
|
|
|
Let be the connected components of . The construction
above induces
an isomorphism of differential pointed categories (cf (7.4.2))
| (7.4.5) |

Let us record a case where the tensor product construction
is compatible
with composition and the differential in the following immediate lemma.

Lemma 7.4.36. Let be a subset of and let be a subcurve of .
Assume that given an admissible homotopy class of paths in
with endpoints in , there is an admissible path in contained
in .
There is a faithful functor of differential pointed categories
