In topology, the result of a space attachment (sometimes called an attaching space or adjunction space) is a topological space, denoted , which is constructed by “attaching” or “gluing” two topological spaces and along a topological subspace by means of a continuous function . The function is then called the attaching map.
More abstractly, space attachments are pushouts along monomorphisms in the category Top of all topological spaces. The formally dual concept is that of fiber spaces or more generally of fiber products of topological spaces.
Let be topological spaces, let be a topological subspace and let be a continuous function.
Then the attaching space may be realized as the quotient topological space of the disjoint union space by the equivalence relation which identifies a point with its image :
More category theoretically, the attaching space is the pushout in the category Top of topological spaces of the subspace inclusion along , i.e. the topological space which is universal with the property that it makes the following square commute:
