Fundamental groupoids as generalised pushouts of codiscrete groupoids
Dip. Mat. Univ. Genova, Preprint 603 (2013).
http://www.dima.unige.it/~grandis/GpdClm.pdf
Abstract. Every differentiable manifold X has a good cover, where
all open sets and their finite intersections are contractible. Using
a generalised van Kampen theorem for open covers we deduce that the
fundamental groupoid of X is a generalised pushout of codiscrete
groupoids and inclusions.
This fact motivates the present brief study of generalised pushouts.
In particular, we show that every groupoid is up to equivalence a
generalised pushout of codiscrete subgroupoids, and that (in any
category) finite generalised pushouts amount to ordinary pushouts and
coequalisers.
-------
Before submitting it, I would like to know if the generalised
pushouts we are using (or similar colimits) have been considered
elsewhere.
(They are not simply connected colimits, in the sense of Bob Pare,
and indeed they cannot be constructed with pushouts.)
With best regards to all colleagues and friends. In particular to
Ronnie Brown and Bob Pare, whose results are used in this preprint.
