Dec 7, 2010 at 8:17 comment added Theo Buehler Emerton, you're right. In order to understand this isotopy, I strongly suggest drawing a picture of the function $\varphi(\gamma) = ( 1 - \frac{\|\gamma - c\|}{r} )$...
Dec 7, 2010 at 6:15 comment added Emerton Dear Ori, If you change the $-$ to a $+$ instead, doesn't everything then make sense? If so, then I'm right!
Dec 7, 2010 at 6:04 comment added Ori I hope you're right
Dec 7, 2010 at 5:56 comment added Emerton I suspect there is simply a typo, and that the defintion of $f^{c p}_u(\gamma)$ should be $\gamma + u(\text{etc. ...})$.
