PlanetPhysics/Thin Square
Let us consider first the concept of a tree that enters in the definition of a thin square. Thus, a simplified notion of thin square is that of {\em a continuous map from the unit square of the real plane into a Hausdorff space which factors through a tree} ([1]).
A {\it tree}, is defined here as the underlying space of a finite -connected -dimensional simplicial complex and boundary of (that is, a square (interval) defined here as the Cartesian product of the unit interval of real numbers).
A square map in a topological space is thin if there is a factorisation of , where is a tree and is piecewise linear (PWL) on the boundary of .
