| Mar 28, 2010 at 18:27 | comment | added | Scott Carter | I think that is correct if you interpret your (2) as that which I describe. But I only recently thought about it in these terms. I am sure that I thought about it in the context of quotient topology when I learned it. Indeed, I had discussions with John Hollingsworth when i was an undergraduate student about what was needed to describe gluing. The answer is in the appendix to Massey's intro to alg. topology book --- the one that concentrates on the fundamental group. | |
