Apr 8, 2022 at 16:20 comment added Ricky Thanks for the answer, I am checking the details. Just a typo: in the two diagrams with $\eta$, the bottom row is $f^\ast$, and in the following diagram the curved arrow goes to $B$.

Apr 8, 2022 at 14:02 comment added user473423 Sorry, you are right. But indeed, I do not use this point in the proof.

Apr 8, 2022 at 13:06 comment added Ricky This indeed looks false: take $p : X \to P$, and define $p'$ by precomposing with an automorphism (different from the identity) of $X$. Then $p \neq p'$ but $[p] = [p']$.
Apr 8, 2022 at 12:09 comment added Ricky Why you can assume the epi is the same? The definition of the equivalence relation is that there is an epi for $p$ and one for $p'$, having always the same source. Here they also have the same target, but they can be different.
Apr 8, 2022 at 12:07 comment added user473423 If p and p' have the same domain, then [p]=[p'] means that there is an epi F such that $p\circ F=p'\circ F$. By the definition of an epimorphism this measn that $p=p'$.
Apr 8, 2022 at 12:05 comment added user473423 I disagree, $f^*([p])=f^*([p'])$ means by definition that $f\circ p$ and $f\circ p'$ define the same element, that is, there exists an epi $d$ with $f\circ p\circ d=f\circ p'\circ d$ and that's exactly what the diagram says.
Apr 8, 2022 at 11:49 comment added Ricky Also, I don't see why the diagram with $D$ and $D'$ is commutative. The only thing you can deduce from $f^\ast([p]) = f^\ast([p']) $ is that $f^\ast \circ p = f^\ast \circ p'$. You can play a similar game with $g^\ast$, but my point it exactly that it seems we have enough equations to finish the proof because usually all the diagram we can draw are commutative, but in this case it seems trickier.
Apr 8, 2022 at 11:37 comment added Ricky I am sorry to be pedantic, but I don't understand all the details. First of all, why $[a]=[b]$ implies $a=b$ if $a$ and $b$ have the same codomain?
