Inverse branches for real-valued local homeomorphisms

Definition
Esgk_ConnectedLocalHomeomorphReal

by mysticflounder · Oct 16, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

geometryreal-analysistopology

For a real-valued local homeomorphism on a Hausdorff space, this defines continuous inverse branches on open intervals and gluing of compatible branches. When the source is connected, it proves injectivity and constructs a homeomorphism onto the range.
