Algebraic Topology, IV, p. 462

Let X be a topological space that is arcwise connected, let G be a group acting continuously on X and let xx be a point of X such that g⋅x=xg\cdot x=x for all g∈Gg\in G. Denote by pp the canonical mapping of X into X/GX/G. Let H be a groupoid and let φ:ϖ(X)→H\varphi :\varpi (X)\rightarrow H be a morphism of groupoids. Suppose that for every path cc in X and every g∈Gg\in G, one has φ([g⋅c])=φ([c])\varphi ([g\cdot c]) =\varphi ([c]), and that for every loop c∈Ωx(X),φ([c])=eφ(x)c\in \Omega_x(X),\varphi ([c]) =e_{\varphi(x)}.

Let c1c_1 and c2c_2 be paths in X such that p∘c1p\circ c_1 and p∘c2p\circ c_2 have the same origin and the same end point. Prove that one has φ([c1])=φ([c2])\varphi ([c_1]) =\varphi ([c_2]).
