What does "cst" stand for in algebraic topology?

758 Views Asked by At

This is a question on notation present in this post.

Define $E_p = \{ (y, \gamma) \in E \times B^{[0,1]} \mid p(y) = \gamma(0) \}$. There's a map (in fact a fibration) $q : E_p \to B$, $(y,\gamma) \mapsto \gamma(1)$, and the homotopy fiber is the fiber $F_p = q^{-1}(b_0)$. The inclusion $$i : F = p^{-1}(b_0) \to F_p$$ is given by $i(y) = (y, \mathrm{cst}_{b_0})$.

My question is, what does the cst stand for here? Thanks in advance!
