Preface

The theory of smooth manifolds is a frequently discussed area in modern mathematics among the broad class of audience. A number of popular books on this subject are available for general readers with little prerequisite in mathematics. On the other hand, numerous textbooks and monographs for advanced graduate students and research fellows are available as well. The intermediate books, allowing senior undergraduate students to enter the exciting ﬁeld of smooth manifolds in a pedagogical way, are very few. It is argued that new concepts involved in this ﬁeld are too complicated to allow a simple introduction. Thus, the only way to master this theory is to be a timeconsuming effort to accumulate the intelligible parts of advanced textbooks into a comprehensible collection of notes. No doubt, this approach has the advantage of making young students, with perseverance to go through such a learning process, a very well-trained future research worker. But unfortunately, this severely limits the number of students who ever really master the subject. This book modestly attempts to bridge the gap between a university curriculum and the more advanced books on Smooth Manifolds. Actually, the manuscript has evolved from my habit of writing elaborate proofs of different theorems over the past one decade. This book intentionally supplies to the readers a high level of detail in arguments and derivations. More lengthy proofs of various theorems are, in general, outlined in such a way that they can be digested by an interested senior undergraduate student with little risk of ever getting lost. This book has been written in such a style that it invites the young students to ﬁll in the gaps everywhere during its study. It is another matter that the author is there for the needy students with complete solutions. That is why, supplying a separate list of problems will only deviate us from the main aim of this book. In my experience, some common problems for a young university student, trying to master mathematics, are the phrases in literatures like “it is clear that …”, “it is easy to see that …”, “it is straightforward”, etc. If a student cannot supply the proof of such a “clearly,” which most likely is the case, the common reaction under the time pressure of the studies is to accept the statement as true. And from this point

Preface

on, throughout the rest part of the course, the deeper understanding of the subject is lost. I have beneﬁted from a number of advanced textbooks on the subject, and some unpublished works of my own and my distinguished friends. Some of these sources are mentioned in the bibliography. However, in an introductory book such as this, it is not possible to mention all literatures and all the people who have contributed to the understanding of this exciting ﬁeld. It is hoped that our readers (active and passive both) will ﬁnd that I have substantially fulﬁlled the objective of bridging the gap between university curriculum and more advanced texts, and that they will enjoy the reading this book as much as I did while writing it.

Chapter 1

Differentiable Manifolds

The pace of this chapter is rather slow for the simple reason that the deﬁnition of smooth manifold is itself forbidding for many unfamiliar readers. Although many young university students feel comfortable with the early parts of multivariable calculus, if one feels uncomfortable, then he should go ﬁrst through some parts of Chap. 3. How veriﬁcations are done in various examples of smooth manifolds is a crucial thing to learn for a novice, so this aspect has been dealt here with some more detail.

1.1 Topological Manifolds Deﬁnition Let M be a Hausdorff topological space. Let m be a positive integer. If, for every x in M; there exists an open neighborhood U of x such that U is homeomorphic to some open subset of Euclidean space Rm , then we say that M is an m-dimensional topological manifold. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional topological manifold. Let x be an element of M: So there exists an open neighborhood U of x such that U is homeomorphic to some open subset of Euclidean space Rm : Hence, there exists a homeomorphism uU : U ! uU ðU Þ such that uU ðUÞ is an open subset of Rm : Here, the ordered pair ðU; uU Þ is called a coordinate chart of M: ðU; uU Þ is also simply denoted by ðU; uÞ: Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional topological manifold. Let ðU; uU Þ be a coordinate chart of M: So uU : U ! uU ðU Þ ð Rm Þ:

Hence, for every x in U; uU ðxÞ is in Rm : So there exist real numbers u1 ; . . .; um such that uU ð xÞ ¼ u1 ; . . .; um : Here, we say that ui ði ¼ 1; . . .; mÞ are the local coordinates of the point x. In short, we write ðuU ð xÞÞi ui : Lemma 1.1 Let M be an m-dimensional topological manifold. Let ðU; uU Þ; ðV; uV Þ be coordinate charts of M such that U \ V is nonempty. Then, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ ¼ uU ðU \ VÞ; ranðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ ¼ uV ðU \ VÞ; uV ðuU Þ1 is a function, uV ðuU Þ1 is 1–1, uU ðU \ VÞ; uV ðU \ VÞ are open subsets of Rm ; ðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ1 ¼ uU ðuV Þ1 ; ðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðU \ VÞ ! uV ðU \ VÞ, and ðuU ðuV Þ1 Þ : uV ðU \ VÞ ! uU ðU \ VÞ are homeomorphisms.

Proof of 1 Let us take any x in domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ: We want to show that x is in uU ðU \ VÞ: Since x is in domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ, by the deﬁnition of domain, there exists y such that ðx; yÞ is in uV ðuU Þ1 : Since ðx; yÞ is in uV ðuU Þ1 , by the deﬁnition of composition, there exists z such that ðx; zÞ is in ðuU Þ1 ; and ðz; yÞ is in uV : Since ðx; zÞ is in ðuU Þ1 ; ðz; xÞ is in uU : Since ðz; xÞ is in uU ; and uU : U ! uU ðUÞ; uU ðzÞ ¼ x; and z is in U: Since ðz; yÞ is in uV ; and uV : V ! uV ðVÞ; uV ðzÞ ¼ y; and z is in V: Here, z is in U; and z is in V; so z is in U \ V: Since z is in U \ V; and x ¼ uU ðzÞ; x is in uU ðU \ VÞ: Thus, (see Fig. 1.1), dom uV ðuU Þ1 uU ðU \ V Þ: Next, let x be in uU ðU \ VÞ: We want to prove that x is in domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ: Since x is in uU ðU \ VÞ; there exists y in U \ V such that uU ðyÞ ¼ x: Since y is in U \ V; y is in U; and y is in V: Since y is in U; and uU : U ! uU ðUÞ; there exists z such that ðy; zÞ is in uU : Since y is in V; and uV : V ! uV ðVÞ; there exists w such that ðy; wÞ is in uV : Since ðy; zÞ is in uU ; ðz; yÞ is in ðuU Þ1 : Since ðz; yÞ is in ðuU Þ1 ; and

ðy; wÞ is in uV ; ðz; wÞ is in uV ðuU Þ1 ; and hence, z is in domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ: Since ðy; zÞ is in uU ; and uU is a function, uU ðyÞ ¼ z: Since uU ðyÞ ¼ z; and uU ðyÞ ¼ x; x ¼ z: Since x ¼ z; and z is in domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ; x is in domðuV ðuU Þ1 Þ: Thus, uU ðU \ V Þ dom uV ðuU Þ1 : h Proof of 2 On using 1, we have domðuU ðuV Þ1 Þ ¼ uV ðV \ UÞ: So 1 LHS ¼ ran uV ðuU Þ1 ¼ dom uV ðuU Þ1 1 ¼ dom ðuU Þ1 ðuV Þ1 ¼ dom uU ðuV Þ1 ¼ uV ðV \ U Þ ¼ uV ðU \ V Þ ¼ RHS:

Proof of 3 Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, uU is a 1–1 function, and hence, ðuU Þ1 is a function. Since ðuU Þ1 is a function, and uV is a function, their h composite uV ðuU Þ1 is a function. Proof of 4 Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M; uU is a 1–1 function, and hence, ðuU Þ1 is a 1–1 function. Since ðV; uV Þ is a coordinate chart of M; uV is a h 1–1 function. Since ðuU Þ1 is 1–1, and uV is 1–1, uV ðuU Þ1 is 1–1. Proof of 5 Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M; uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is a homeomorphism from open subset U of M onto open subset uU ðUÞ of Rm : Similarly, V is an open subset of M: Since U; V are open subsets of M; U \ V is an open subset of M: Since U; U \ V are open subset of M; and U \ V U; U \ V is open in U: Since U \ V is open in U; and uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is a homeomorphism, uU ðU \ VÞ is open in uU ðUÞ: Since uU ðU \ VÞ is open in uU ðUÞ; and uU ðUÞ is an open subset of Rm ; uU ðU \ VÞ is an open subset of Rm : Similarly, uV ðU \ VÞ is an open subset of Rm : h Proof of 6

and

uU ðuV Þ1

Since ðV; uV Þ is a coordinate chart of M; uV is a homeomorphism, and hence, uV is continuous. Since ðuU Þ1 ; uV are continuous, their composite uV ðuU Þ1 is continuous. Similarly, uU ðuV Þ1 is continuous. Hence, uV ðuU Þ1 is a homeomorphism. h Similarly, uU ðuV Þ1 is a homeomorphism.

1.2 Smooth Manifolds Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional topological manifold. Let ðU; uU Þ; ðV; uV Þ be coordinate charts of M; and let U \ V be nonempty. So

uV ðuU Þ1

: uU ðU \ V Þ ! uV ðU \ V Þ

is a homeomorphism from uU ðU \ VÞ onto uV ðU \ VÞ; where uU ðU \ VÞ and uV ðU \ VÞ are open subsets of Rm : For every ðx1 ; . . .; xm Þ in uU ðU \ VÞ; put uV ðuU Þ1 x1 ; . . .; xm f 1 x1 ; . . .; xm ; . . .; f m x1 ; . . .; xm ¼ y1 ; . . .; ym ; where ðy1 ; . . .; ym Þ is in uV ðU \ VÞ; and

uU ðuV Þ1

y1 ; . . .; ym g1 y1 ; . . .; ym ; . . .; gm y1 ; . . .; ym ¼ x1 ; . . .; xm :

Since uV ðuU Þ1 is continuous, each f i : uU ðU \ VÞ ! R is continuous. Similarly, each gi : uV ðU \ VÞ ! R is continuous. For ﬁxed i; and for every j ¼ 1; . . .; m; if ðDj f i Þðx1 ; . . .; xm Þ exists at every point 1 ðx ; . . .; xm Þ of uU ðU \ VÞ; then we get functions Dj f i : uU ðU \ VÞ ! R: If every Dj f i : uU ðU \ VÞ ! R is continuous, then we say that f i is C 1 : Similarly, by gi is C 1 ; we shall mean that each Dj gi : uV ðU \ VÞ ! R ðj ¼ 1; . . .; mÞ is continuous. By ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C1 -compatible, we mean that either ðU \ V is an empty setÞ; or ðf i ; gi are C1 for every i ¼ 1; . . .; m; whenever U \ V is a nonempty setÞ: For ﬁxed i; and for every j; k ¼ 1; . . .; m; if Dk ðDj f i Þ ð Dkj f i Þ exists at every point of uU ðU \ VÞ; then we get functions Dk ðDj f i Þ : uU ðU \ VÞ ! R: If each Dk ðDj f i Þ : uU ðU \ VÞ ! R is continuous, then we say that f i is C 2 : Similarly, by gi is C 2 ; we shall mean that each Dk ðDj gi Þ : uV ðU \ VÞ ! R ðj; k ¼ 1; . . .; mÞ is continuous. By ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C 2 -compatible, we mean that

either ðU \ V is an empty setÞ; or ðf i ; gi are C2 for every i ¼ 1; . . .; m; whenever U \ V is a nonempty setÞ: Similar deﬁnitions for ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C 3 -compatible can be supplied, etc. It is clear that if ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C 3 -compatible, then ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C 2 -compatible, etc. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional topological manifold. Let r be a positive integer. Let A fðU; uU Þ; ðV; uV Þ; ðW; uW Þ; . . .g be a nonempty collection of coordinate charts of M: If 1. fU; V; W; . . .g is a cover of M; that is, [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in Ag ¼ M; 2. all pairs of members in A are C r -compatible, e ; u Þ is a coordinate chart of M, but not a 3. A is maximal (in the sense that if ð U e U e ; u Þ and ðU; uU Þ member of A; then there exists ðU; uU Þ in A; such that ð U e U r are not C -compatible), then we say that A is a Cr -differentiable structure on M; and the ordered pair ðM; AÞ is called a Cr -differentiable manifold. Here, members of A are called admissible coordinate charts of M: Theorem 1.2 Let M be an m-dimensional topological manifold. Let r be a positive integer. Let A fðU; uU Þ; ðV; uV Þ; ðW; uW Þ; . . .g be a nonempty collection of coordinate charts of M satisfying 1. fU; V; W; . . .g is a cover of M; that is, [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in Ag ¼ M; 2. all pairs of members in A are Cr -compatible. Then, there exists a unique C r -differentiable structure B on M which contains A: (This theorem suggests that in constructing a differentiable manifold, it is enough to ﬁnd a collection A of coordinate charts for which conditions 1 and 2 are satisﬁed.) Proof Existence Let B be the collection of all coordinate charts ðU; uU Þ of M such that ðU; uU Þ is Cr -compatible with every member of A: First of all, we shall try to show that B contains A: For this purpose, let us take any ðU; uU Þ in A: By the condition 2, ðU; uU Þ is C r -compatible with all members of A; so by the deﬁnition of B; ðU; uU Þ is in B: Hence, A is a subset of B: Further since A is nonempty, and A is a subset of B; B is nonempty.

Now we want to prove that B is a Cr -differentiable structure on M; that is, 1. [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in Bg ¼ M; 2. all pairs of members of B are C r -compatible. e ; u Þ is a coordinate chart of M, but not a 3. B is maximal (in the sense that, if ð U e U e ; u Þ and ðU; uU Þ are member of B; then there exists ðU; uU Þ in B such that ð U e U r not C -compatible). For 1: Since A is contained in B; [fU : ðU; uU Þis in Ag [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in Bg M: Now, by the given condition 1, [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in Bg ¼ M: For 2: Let us take any ðU; uU Þ in B; and ðV; uV Þ in B: We have to prove that ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C r -compatible. Here, two cases arise: either U \ V is an empty set, or U \ V is a nonempty set.h Case I: when U \ V is an empty set. In this case, by the deﬁnition of C r compatible, ðU; uU Þ and ðV; uV Þ are C r -compatible. Case II: when U \ V is a nonempty set. For every ðx1 ; . . .; xm Þ in uU ðU \ VÞ; put

uV ðuU Þ1

x1 ; . . .; xm f 1 x1 ; . . .; xm ; . . .; f m x1 ; . . .; xm ¼ y1 ; . . .; ym ;

where ðy1 ; . . .; ym Þ is in uV ðU \ VÞ; and

uU ðuV Þ1

y1 ; . . .; ym g1 y1 ; . . .; ym ; . . .; gm y1 ; . . .; ym ¼ x1 ; . . .; xm :

We have to show that f i ; gi are C r for every i ¼ 1; . . .; m: Since U \ V is nonempty, there exists an element x in U \ V ð MÞ: Since x is in M, by condition 1, there exists ðW; uW Þ in A such that x is in W: Since ðU; uU Þ is in B; and ðW; uW Þ is in A, by the deﬁnition of B; ðU; uU Þ and ðW; uW Þ are Cr -compatible. Since x is in W; and x is in U \ Vð UÞ; x is in W \ U; and hence, U \ W is a nonempty set. Since ðU; uU Þ and ðW; uW Þ are Cr -compatible, and U \ W is nonempty, by the deﬁnition of C r -compatible, f1i ; gi1 are C r for every i ¼ 1; . . .; m, where for every ðx1 ; . . .; xm Þ in uU ðU \ WÞ; uW ðuU Þ1 x1 ; . . .; xm f11 x1 ; . . .; xm ; . . .; f1m x1 ; . . .; xm ¼ y1 ; . . .; ym 2 uW ðU \ W Þ; and 1 1 m ¼ x ; . . .; xm : uU ðuW Þ1 y1 ; . . .; ym g11 y1 ; . . .; ym ; . . .; gm 1 y ; . . .; y

C1 -differentiable structure is also called smooth structure, and C 1 -differentiable manifold is also called smooth manifold. Here, members of A are called admissible coordinate charts of M: Note 1.5 We shall try to prove: if A is an atlas on an m-dimensional topological manifold M, then there exists a unique C1 -differentiable structure B on M which contains A: Existence Let B be the collection of all coordinate charts ðU; uU Þ of M such that ðU; uU Þ is C 1 -compatible with every member of A: First of all, we shall try to show that B contains A: For this purpose, let us take any ðU; uU Þ in A: Since A is an atlas, and ðU; uU Þ is in A; ðU; uU Þ is C 1 compatible with all members of A, and hence, by the deﬁnition of B; ðU; uU Þ is in B: Hence, A is a subset of B: Further since A is nonempty, and A is a subset of B; B is nonempty.

Thus, in all cases, we get a contradiction. h From now on, we shall assume without further mention that in our differentiable manifold ðM; AÞ; M is a second countable topological space.

1.3 Examples of Smooth Manifolds Example 1.6 (i) Let G be a nonempty open subset of Rm : Let us take G for M: Since Rm is a Hausdorff second countable topological space, G with the induced topology is a Hausdorff second countable topological space. For every x in G; G is an open neighborhood of x: Since the identity mapping IdG : G ! G given by IdG ð xÞ ¼ x for every x in G is a homeomorphism from G onto G; G is an m-dimensional topological manifold. For A; let us take the singleton set fðG; IdG Þg: It is easy to observe that A satisﬁes the conditions 1 and 2 of Theorem 1.2 for every positive integer r: Hence, there exists a unique C1 -differentiable structure on G which contains fðG; IdG Þg: This C1 -differentiable structure on G is called the standard differentiable structure of G: Thus, every nonempty open subset of Rm is an example of a smooth manifold. (ii) Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, whose topology is O; and differential structure is A: Let ðU; uU Þ 2 A: Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A; U is an open subset of M: Let O1 be the induced topology over U; that is, O1 ¼ fG : G U; and G 2 Og: Put A1 fðU; uU Þg. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a Hausdorff space. Since M is a Hausdorff space, and U is a subspace of M; U with the induced topology is a Hausdorff space. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a second countable space. Since M is a second countable space, and U is a subspace of M; U with the induced

It is easy to observe that A satisﬁes the conditions 1 and 2 of Theorem 1.2 for every positive integer r: Hence, there exists a unique C 1 -differentiable structure on U which contains fðU; uU Þg: Thus for every admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of an m-dimensional smooth manifold M; U is an m-dimensional smooth manifold.

Now we shall try to prove that the unit circle S1 is a 1-dimensional topological manifold. For this purpose, let us take any ða1 ; a2 Þ in S1 : We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood G of ða1 ; a2 Þ, and a homeomorphism u : G ! uðGÞ such that uðGÞ is an open subset of R1 : Since ð0; 0Þ does not lie in S1 ; and ða1 ; a2 Þ is in S1 ; both of a1 ; a2 cannot be 0. So two cases arise: either a1 6¼ 0 or a2 6¼ 0: Case I: when a1 6¼ 0 Now two subcases arise: either 0\a1 or a1 \0: Subcase I: when 0\a1 . Let us take

Thus, we have shown that there exist an open neighborhood G1 of ða1 ; a2 Þ and a homeomorphism p1 : G1 ! ð1; 1Þ; where ð1; 1Þ is an open subset of R1 : Subcase II: when a1 \0.

Here, we get four coordinate charts ðG1 ; p1 Þ; ðG2 ; p2 Þ; ðG3 ; p3 Þ; ðG4 ; p4 Þ: Let us take fðG1 ; p1 Þ; ðG2 ; p2 Þ; ðG3 ; p3 Þ; ðG4 ; p4 Þg for A: We want to show that A has the following two properties: 1.

It follows that t 7! ðp1 ðp1 3 ÞÞðtÞ is a differentiable function on the open subset 1 p3 ðG1 \ G3 Þ of R : Also, since 0 t p1 p1 ðtÞ ¼ pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ : 3 1 t2 t is a continuous function, and t 7! pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ 1t2 : p3 ðG1 \ G3 Þ ! p1 ðG1 \ G3 Þ p1 p1 3

is C 1 : Similarly, we can show that

is C 2 ; etc. Thus,

p1 p1 : p3 ðG1 \ G3 Þ ! p1 ðG1 \ G3 Þ 3

p1 p1 : p3 ðG1 \ G3 Þ ! p1 ðG1 \ G3 Þ 3

is C r for every positive integer r: Hence,

: p3 ðG1 \ G3 Þ ! p1 ðG1 \ G3 Þ p1 p1 3

is C 1 : Thus, we have shown that the pair ðG1 ; p1 Þ; ðG3 ; p3 Þ are C1 -compatible. Similarly, we can show that all other pairs of members in A are C1 -compatible. This proves 2. Hence, by Theorem 1.2, there exists a unique C 1 -differentiable structure B on S1 which contains A: Thus, the ordered pair ðS1 ; BÞ is an example of a smooth manifold of dimension 1. Similarly, we can construct a C 1 -differentiable structure on S2 ; etc. In short, the unit sphere Sm is a smooth manifold of dimension m. Example 1.8 Let us deﬁne a relation over R2 fð0; 0Þg as follows: For every ðx1 ; x2 Þ; ðy1 ; y2 Þ in R2 fð0; 0Þg; by 1 2 1 2 x ;x y ;y we shall mean there exists a real number t such that 1 2 x ; x ¼ t y1 ; y2 : We shall try to show that is an equivalence relation over R2 fð0; 0Þg; that is, 1. ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðx1 ; x2 Þ for every ðx1 ; x2 Þ in R2 fð0; 0Þg; 2. if ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðy1 ; y2 Þ; then ðy1 ; y2 Þ ðx1 ; x2 Þ; 3. if ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðy1 ; y2 Þ; and ðy1 ; y2 Þ ðz1 ; z2 Þ then ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðz1 ; z2 Þ:

For 1: Since ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ 1ðx1 ; x2 Þ; ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðx1 ; x2 Þ: For 2: Since ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðy1 ; y2 Þ; there exists a real number t such that ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðy1 ; y2 Þ: Since ðx1 ; x2 Þ; ðy1 ; y2 Þ are in R2 fð0; 0Þg; ðx1 ; x2 Þ and ðy1 ; y2 Þ are nonzero. Since ðx1 ; x2 Þ and ðy1 ; y2 Þ are nonzero, and ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðy1 ; y2 Þ; t is nonzero, and hence, ðy1 ; y2 Þ ¼ 1t ðx1 ; x2 Þ: Since ðy1 ; y2 Þ ¼ 1t ðx1 ; x2 Þ; ðy1 ; y2 Þ ðx1 ; x2 Þ: For 3: Since ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðy1 ; y2 Þ; there exists a real number t such that ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðy1 ; y2 Þ: Since ðy1 ; y2 Þ ðz1 ; z2 Þ; there exists a real number s such that ðy1 ; y2 Þ ¼ sðz1 ; z2 Þ: Since ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðy1 ; y2 Þ; and ðy1 ; y2 Þ ¼ sðz1 ; z2 Þ; ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðsðz1 ; z2 ÞÞ ¼ ðstÞðz1 ; z2 Þ; and hence, ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðz1 ; z2 Þ: Thus, we have shown that is an equivalence relation over R2 fð0; 0Þg: If ðx1 ; x2 Þ 6¼ ð0; 0Þ; then the equivalence class of ðx1 ; x2 Þ is given by

x1 ; x2

y1 ; y2 : y1 ; y2 x1 ; x2 1 2 1 2 1 2 ¼ y ; y : y ; y ¼ t x ; x for some real t

or,

x1 ; x2

¼ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 :

We shall denote the quotient space

R2 fð0; 0Þg =

of all equivalence classes by P1 : Thus, P1 or, P1 ¼

1 2 1 2 x ;x : x ; x 6¼ ð0; 0Þ

1 2 t x ; x : t 6¼ 0 : x1 ; x2 6¼ ð0; 0Þ :

The topology of R2 fð0; 0Þg is the induced topology of the standard topology of R2 ; and the topology of the quotient space ðR2 fð0; 0ÞgÞ= ð¼ P1 Þ is the quotient topology. Thus, a subset G of P1 is open means the set [ x1 ; x2 : x1 ; x2 2 G is open in R2 fð0; 0Þg; that is, [ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 : x1 ; x2 2 G

is open in R2 fð0; 0Þg; that is, either [ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 : x1 ; x2 2 G or

[ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 : x1 ; x2 2 G [fð0; 0Þg

is open in R2 : Since R2 is a Hausdorff space, its subspace R2 fð0; 0Þg is a Hausdorff space, and hence, its quotient space ðR2 fð0; 0ÞgÞ= ð¼ P1 Þ is a Hausdorff space. Since R2 is a second countable space, its subspace R2 fð0; 0Þg is a second countable space, and hence, its quotient space ðR2 fð0; 0ÞgÞ= ð¼ P1 Þ is a second countable space. Put 1 2 U1 x ;x : x1 6¼ 0 : We want to show that U1 is open in P2 : For this purpose, we must show that [ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 : x1 ; x2 2 U1 is open in R2 fð0; 0Þg: Since (see Fig. 1.2), [ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 : x1 ; x2 2 U1 ¼ [ t x1 ; x2 : t 6¼ 0 : x1 6¼ 0 ¼ R2 0; x2 : x2 is any real ; and R2 fð0; x2 Þ : x2 is any realg is open in R2 ; [fftðx1 ; x2 Þ : t 6¼ 0g : ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ 2 U1 g is open in R2 fð0; 0Þg: Thus, we have shown that U1 is open in P1 :

Now let us deﬁne a function u1 : U1 ! R as follows: for every ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ in U1 u1

x1 ; x2

x2 : x1

We shall try to show that 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

u1 is well-deﬁned, u1 is 1–1, u1 is continuous, u1 ðU1 Þ is open in R; u1 1 : u1 ðU1 Þ ! U1 is continuous.

For 1: Let ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ ½ðy1 ; y2 Þ ; where ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ ; ½ðy1 ; y2 Þ are in U1 : Since ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ ; ½ðy1 ; y2 Þ are in U1 ; ðx1 ; x2 Þ; ðy1 ; y2 Þ are nonzero members of R2 ; and 2 2 x1 ; y1 are nonzero. Since x1 ; y1 are nonzero, xx1 ; yy1 are real numbers. We must prove that x2 y2 ¼ : x1 y1 Since ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ ½ðy1 ; y2 Þ ; ðx1 ; x2 Þ ðy1 ; y2 Þ: Further since ðx1 ; x2 Þ; ðy1 ; y2 Þ are nonzero members of R2 ; there exists a nonzero real number t such that

x x1

x1 ; x2 ¼ t y1 ; y2 ¼ ty1 ; ty2 :

So x1 ¼ ty1 ; and x2 ¼ ty2 : Since x1 ¼ ty1 ; x2 ¼ ty2 ; and x1 ; y1 ; t are nonzero, 2 2 ¼ tyty1 ¼ yy1 : This proves 1. For 2: Let u1 ð½ðx1 ; x2 Þ Þ ¼ u1 ð½ðy1 ; y2 Þ Þ: We have to prove that ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ ½ðy1 ; y2 Þ ; that is, there exists a real number t such that ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðy1 ; y2 Þ: Here, y2 x2 ¼ u 1 y1 ; y2 ¼ 1: ¼ u1 x1 ; x2 1 x y Case I: when x2 6¼ 0 2 2 2 2 Since xx1 ¼ yy1 ; and x2 6¼ 0; y2 6¼ 0; and hence, x1 ¼ xy2 y1 : So ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ xy2 ðy1 ; y2 Þ:

1.3 Examples of Smooth Manifolds

23

Case II: when x2 ¼ 0 2 2 1 1 Since xx1 ¼ yy1 ; and x2 ¼ 0; y2 ¼ 0: So ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ ðx1 ; 0Þ ¼ xy1 ðy1 ; 0Þ ¼ xy1 ðy1 ; y2 Þ:

Thus, we see that in all cases, there exists a real number t such that ðx1 ; x2 Þ ¼ tðy1 ; y2 Þ: This proves 2. For 3. Let us note that the equivalence class ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ of ðx1 ; x2 Þ is simply the straight line joining the origin O and ðx1 ; x2 Þ; but origin O deleted. Further, the slope ð¼ tan hÞ of this line is the u1 -image of ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ : Since tan h is a continuous function over ð p2 ; p2Þ; it is clear that u1 : U1 ! R

is a continuous function. For 4. It is clear that u1 ðU1 Þ ¼ ð1; þ1Þ ¼ R ; and R is an open set, so u1 ðU1 Þ is an open set of real numbers. For 5. In 4, we have seen that u1 ðU1 Þ ¼ R; so it remains to prove that u1 1 : R ! U1 is continuous. Since, for every m in R; ½ð1; mÞ is in U1 ; and u1 ð½ð1; mÞ Þ ¼ m1 ¼ m; u1 1 ðmÞ ¼ ½ð1; mÞ : Since m 7! ð1; mÞ is continuous, and ðx1 ; x2 Þ 7! ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ is continuous, their composite m 7! ½ð1; mÞ is continuous, that is, u1 1 is a continuous function. This proves 5. Similarly, we can show that 1 2 x ;x U2 : x2 6¼ 0 is an open subset of P1 ; and the function u2 : U2 ! R deﬁned as follows: for every ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ in U2 u2

x1 ; x2

x1 ; x2

is a homeomorphism from U2 onto R: Thus, the open subset U2 of P2 is homeomorphic to R:

Since P1 is a Hausdorff space, and fU1 ; U2 g is an open cover of P1 , P1 is a 1-dimensional topological manifold. Here, we get two coordinate charts ðU1 ; u1 Þ; ðU2 ; u2 Þ: Let us take fðU1 ; u1 Þ; ðU2 ; u2 Þg: for A: We want to show that A has the following two properties: 1. U1 [ U2 ¼ P1 ; 2. all pairs of members in A are C r -compatible, for every r ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .: For 1: It is clear from the construction of U1 and U2 : For 2: Let us take ðU1 ; u1 Þ; ðU2 ; u2 Þ as a pair of members in A: Here, U1 \ U2 ¼

x1 ; x2

: x1 6¼ 0; and x2 6¼ 0 :

Further u2 ðu1 Þ1 : u1 ðU1 \ U2 Þ ! u2 ðU1 \ U2 Þ is a continuous function. Also, for every m in u1 ðU1 \ U2 Þ; there exists ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ

in U1 \ U2 such that m ¼ u1 x1 ; x2 : 2

Since ½ðx1 ; x2 Þ is in U1 \ U2 ; x1 6¼ 0 and x2 6¼ 0: Now m ¼ u1 ð½ðx1 ; x2 Þ Þ ¼ xx1 , and hence, u2 ðu1 Þ1 ðmÞ ¼ u2 ðu1 Þ1 ðmÞ ¼ u2 ðu1 Þ1 u1 x1 ; x2 x1 1 ¼ 2¼ : ¼ u 2 x1 ; x2 m x Now since u1 ðU1 \ U2 Þ ¼ R f0g ¼ u2 ðU1 \ U2 Þ; ðu2 ðu1 Þ1 Þ : m 7! m1 is Cr for every r ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .: This proves 2. Hence, by Theorem 1.2, there exists a unique C1 -differentiable structure B on P1 which contains A: Thus, the ordered pair ðP1 ; BÞ is an example of a smooth manifold of dimension 1. Similarly, we can construct a C 1 -differentiable structure on P2 ; etc. In short, we say that the projective space Pm is a smooth manifold of dimension m. Example 1.9 Let M be a 2-dimensional smooth manifold with differentiable structure A; and let N be a 3-dimensional smooth manifold with differentiable structure B:

Now we want to show that the Cartesian product M N; with the product topology, is a ð2 þ 3Þ-dimensional topological manifold. For this purpose, we must prove that 1. M N; with the product topology, is a Hausdorff topological space, 2. for every ðx; yÞ in M N; there exists an open neighborhood of ðx; yÞ in M N which is homeomorphic to some open subset of the Euclidean space R2þ3 (see Fig 1.3). For 1: Since M is a smooth manifold, the topology of M is Hausdorff. Similarly the topology of N is Hausdorff. Since the topologies of M and N are Hausdorff, their product topology is Hausdorff. This proves 1. For 2: Let us take any ðx; yÞ in M N; where x is in M; and y is in N: Since x is in M; and M is a 2-dimensional smooth manifold with differentiable structure A; there exists a coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ 2 A such that x is in U: Similarly, there exists a coordinate chart ðV; wV Þ 2 B such that y is in V: Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A; and A is a differentiable structure on M; uU is a homeomorphism from the open subset U of M onto the open subset uU ðUÞ of R2 : Similarly, wV is a homeomorphism from the open subset V of N onto the open subset wV ðVÞ of R3 : Since x is in U; and U is open in M; U is an open neighborhood of x: Similarly, V is an open neighborhood of y: Since U is an open neighborhood of x; and V is an open neighborhood of y; the Cartesian product U V is an open neighborhood of ðx; yÞ in M N: Since uU ðUÞ is open in R2 ; and wV ðVÞ is open in R3 ; their Cartesian product ðuU ðUÞÞ ðwV ðVÞÞ is open in R2 R3 ð¼ R2þ3 Þ: Now let us deﬁne a function ðuU wV Þ : U V ! ððuU ðU ÞÞ ðwV ðV ÞÞÞ as follows: for every ðx; yÞ in U V; ðuU wV Þðx; yÞ ðuU ð xÞ; wV ð yÞÞ: It remains to prove that ðuU wV Þ is a homeomorphism, that is,

1: ðuU wV Þ is 1 1; 2: ðuU wV Þ is onto; 3: ðuU wV Þ is continuous, 4: ðuU wV Þ1 is continuous: For 1: Let ðuU wV Þðx; yÞ ¼ ðuU wV Þðz; wÞ; where x; z are in U; and y; w are in V: We have to show that ðx; yÞ ¼ ðz; wÞ; that is, x ¼ z; and y ¼ w: Since ðuU ð xÞ; wV ð yÞÞ ¼ ðuU wV Þðx; yÞ ¼ ðuU wV Þðz; wÞ ¼ ðuU ðzÞ; wV ðwÞÞ; uU ð xÞ ¼ uU ðzÞ; and wV ð yÞ ¼ wV ðwÞ: Since uU is a homeomorphism, uU is 1–1. Since uU is 1–1, and uU ðxÞ ¼ uU ðzÞ; x ¼ z: Similarly y ¼ w: This proves 1. For 2: We have to prove that ðuU wV Þ : U V ! ððuU ðU ÞÞ ðwV ðV ÞÞÞ is onto. For this purpose, let us take any ðs; tÞ in ðuU ðUÞÞ ðwV ðVÞÞ: Now we have to ﬁnd a member of U V; whose ðuU wV Þ-image is ðs; tÞ: Since ðs; tÞ is in ðuU ðUÞÞ ðwV ðVÞÞ; s is in uU ðUÞ; and t is in wV ðVÞ: Since s is in uU ðUÞ; there exists an element x in U such that s ¼ uU ðxÞ. Similarly, there exists an element y in V such that t ¼ wV ðyÞ: Since x is in U; and y is in V; ðx; yÞ is in U V: Further ðuU wV Þðx; yÞ ¼ ðuU ð xÞ; wV ð yÞÞ ¼ ðs; tÞ: This proves 2. For 3: Since uU is a homeomorphism, uU is a continuous function, and hence, x 7! uU ðxÞ is continuous. Since, in the product topology, ðx; yÞ 7! x is continuous, and x 7! uU ðxÞ is continuous, their composite ðx; yÞ 7! uU ðxÞ is continuous. Similarly, ðx; yÞ 7! wV ðyÞ is continuous. Since ðx; yÞ 7! uU ðxÞ is continuous, and ðx; yÞ 7! wV ðyÞ is continuous, with respect to product topology, ðx; yÞ 7! ðuU ðxÞ; wV ðyÞÞð¼ ðuU wV Þðx; yÞÞ is continuous, and hence, ðuU wV Þ : U V ! ððuU ðU ÞÞ ðwV ðV ÞÞÞ is a continuous function. This proves 3. For 4: We have to prove that ðuU wV Þ1 : ððuU ðUÞÞ ðwV ðVÞÞÞ ! U V is continuous, that is, ðuU wV Þ : U V ! ððuU ðU ÞÞ ðwV ðV ÞÞÞ

is an open mapping. For this purpose, let us take any open subset G H of U V; where G is open in U; and H is open in V: We have to prove that ðuU wV ÞðG HÞ is open in ðuU ðUÞÞ ðwV ðVÞÞ. By the deﬁnition of ðuU wV Þ; ðuU wV ÞðG H Þ ¼ ðuU ðGÞ wV ðH ÞÞ: Since uU : U ! ðuU ðUÞÞ is a homeomorphism, and G is open in U; uU ðGÞ is an open subset of uU ðUÞ. Similarly, wV ðHÞ is an open subset of wV ðVÞ: Since uU ðGÞ is an open subset of uU ðUÞ; and wV ðHÞ is an open subset of wV ðVÞ; their Cartesian product uU ðGÞ wV ðHÞð¼ ðuU wV ÞðG HÞÞ is an open subset of the product space uU ðUÞ wV ðVÞ: This proves 4. Thus, ðuU wV Þ : U V ! ððuU ðU ÞÞ ðwV ðV ÞÞÞ is a homeomorphism. This proves 2. Hence, M N; with the product topology, is a ð2 þ 3Þ-dimensional topological manifold. Since M is a 2-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a second countable space. Similarly, N is a second countable space. Since M; N are second countable spaces, their product M N is a second countable space. Here, for every ðU; uU Þ 2 A; and for every ðV; wV Þ 2 B, we get the coordinate chart ðU V; ðuU wV ÞÞ of M N: Let us denote the collection fðU V; ðuU wV ÞÞ : ðU; uU Þ 2 A; ðV; wV Þ 2 Bg of coordinate charts of M N by C: We want to show that C has the following two properties: 1: [fU V : ðU V; ðuU wV ÞÞ 2 Cg ¼ M N; 2: all pairs of members in C are Cr -compatible, for every r ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .: For 1: This is clear from the above discussion. ^ V; ^ ðu ^ w ^ ÞÞ as a pair of For 2: Let us take any ðU V; ðuU wV ÞÞ; ðU U V members in C: Here, ^ : ^ V \V ^ V ^ ¼ U \U ðU V Þ \ U Now we want to prove that the mapping

Similarly, if M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, then the Cartesian product M N; with the product topology, becomes an ðm þ nÞ-dimensional smooth manifold. In short, we say that the product manifold M N is an ðm þ nÞdimensional smooth manifold.

Tangent Spaces

Above dimension three, Euclidean space loses its quality of being visible. So, in order to investigate higher-dimensional smooth manifolds, we need to generalize the concept of tangent line in the case of curves in two-dimensional Euclidean space, and tangent plane in the case of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, using abstract tools of algebra, and analysis. This generalized concept has been named the tangent space. Among many other concepts that facilitate the enquiry into the properties of higher-dimensional smooth manifolds as we shall see later, the notion of tangent space is foremost. It is possible to introduce tangent space in various ways. Because each method has its own merit, we shall introduce it in multiple ways in this chapter for deeper understanding. Remember that in the process of generalization, unlike curves and surfaces, smooth manifolds are devoid of any ambient space. It was in this sense a challenging task for early mathematicians.

2.1 Smooth Functions Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let f : M ! R be any function. Let p be an element of M. If, for every admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of M satisfying p 2 U, ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ ! R is C 1 at the point uU ðpÞ in Rm , then we say that f is C 1 at p in M. Observe that, if f is C 1 at p in M, then f is continuous at p. Reason: Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and p is an element of M, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of M satisfying p 2 U. Since f is C 1 at p in M, ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ ! R is C1 at the point uU ðpÞ in Rm : Since ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ ! R is C 1 at the point uU ðpÞ in Rm , ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ ! R is continuous at the point uU ðpÞ. Since ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M, uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is continuous. Since uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is continuous, and p 2 U, uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is continuous at p. Since uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is continuous at p, and ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ !

R is C 1 at the point uV ðpÞ in Rm : h Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let f : M ! R be any function. By f is C 1 on M (or f is smooth on M), we mean that f is C 1 at every point p in M. The set of all smooth functions f : M ! R on M is denoted by C 1 ðMÞ. Observe that, if f is C 1 on M, then f is a continuous function. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold. Let f : M ! N be any continuous function. Let p be an element of M. If for every admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of M satisfying p 2 U, and for every admissible coordinate chart ðV; wV Þ of N satisfying f ðpÞ 2 V, each of the n component functions of the mapping wV f ðuU Þ1 : uU U \ f 1 ðVÞ ! wV ðVÞ is C 1 at the point uU ðpÞ in Rm (in short, the mapping wV f ðuU Þ1 : uU U \ f 1 ðV Þ ! wV ðV Þ is C 1 at the point uU ðpÞ in Rm ); then, we say that f is C 1 at p in M. As above we observe that if f : M ! N is C 1 at p in M, then f is continuous at p. Theorem 2.2 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold. Let f : M !

Deﬁnition Let M and N be m-dimensional smooth manifolds. Let f : M ! N be a 1–1, onto mapping. If f is a smooth map from M to N, and f 1 is a smooth map from N to M, then we say that f is a diffeomorphism from M onto N. We observe that if f is a diffeomorphism from M onto N, then f is a homeomorphism from M onto N. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. If there exists a function f : M ! N such that f is a diffeomorphism from M onto N, then we say that the manifolds M and N are isomorphic (or, diffeomorphic). Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let a and b be any real numbers such that a < b. Let c be a continuous function from the open interval ða; bÞ to M. Recall that the open interval ða; bÞ is a 1-dimensional smooth manifold. Hence, it is meaningful to say that c is a smooth map from ða; bÞ to M. If c is a smooth map from ða; bÞ to M, then we say that c is a parametrized curve in the manifold M. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p 2 M. Let c be a parametrized curve in the manifold M. If there exists a real number e [ 0 such that c is deﬁned on the open interval ðe; eÞ, and cð0Þ ¼ p, then we say that c is a parametrized curve in M through p. The set of all parametrized curves in M through p is denoted by Cp ðMÞ (or, simply Cp Þ. Example 2.4 In the Example 1.9, let us deﬁne p1 : M N ! M as follows: for every ðx; yÞ in M N, p1 ðx; yÞ ¼ x: We want to prove that p1 is a smooth function from the product manifold M N onto M. For this purpose, let us take any ðp; qÞ in M N. Now, there exists a coordinate chart ðU V; ðuU wV ÞÞ of the product manifold M N such that ðU; uU Þ 2 A; ðV; wV Þ 2 B, and ðp; qÞ is in U V. Hence, ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M such that pð¼ p1 ðp; qÞÞ is in U. We want to show that uU p1 ðuU wV Þ1 : ðuU wV ÞðU V Þ ! uU ðU Þ is C 1 at the point ðuU wV Þðp; qÞð¼ ðuU ðpÞ; wV ðqÞÞÞ in R2þ3 . Let us take any ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 Þ in ðuU wV ÞðU VÞ. So, there exist u in U, and v in V such that ðuU ðuÞ; wV ðvÞÞ ¼ ðuU wV Þðu; vÞ ¼ x1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 : Hence,

ðuU wV Þ1 x1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 ¼ ðu; vÞ;

or uU ðuÞ ¼ x1 ; x2 ; wV ðvÞ ¼ x3 ; x4 ; x5 : So

x1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 ¼ ðuU p1 Þ ðuU wV Þ1 x1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 ¼ ðuU p1 Þðu; vÞ ¼ uU ðp1 ðu; vÞÞ ¼ uU ðuÞ ¼ x1 ; x2 :

Hence, ðuU p1 ðuU wV Þ1 Þ : ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 Þ 7! ðx1 ; x2 Þ, which is trivially C 1 . So, by Theorem 2.2, the natural projection p1 of the product manifold M N is a smooth map. Similarly, the natural projection p2 of the product manifold M N is a smooth map. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M. By Cp1 ðMÞ (or, simply Cp1 Þ, we mean the collection of all real-valued functions f whose dom f is an open neighborhood of p in M, and for every admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of M satisfying p 2 U,

f ðuU Þ1 : uU ððdom f Þ \ U Þ ! R

is C 1 at the point uU ðpÞ in Rm . Observe that if f is in Cp1 ðMÞ, then f is continuous on some open neighborhood of p. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let f : M ! Rk be any function. By f is smooth, we mean for every p in M there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of M satisfying p 2 U such that the composite function f ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus. Remember, uU ðUÞ is an open subset of Rm containing uU ðpÞ. Note 2.5 Let G be a nonempty open subset of Rm . We know that G is an mdimensional smooth manifold with the standard differentiable structure containing fðG; IdG Þg. Let f : G ! Rk be any smooth function in the sense just deﬁned. We want to show that f : G ! Rk is a smooth function in the sense of ordinary calculus. Since G is nonempty, there exists a in G. Since a is in G, and f : G ! Rk be any smooth function in the sense just deﬁned, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of G satisfying a 2 U such that the composite function f ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus. Since ðU; uU Þ is in fðG; IdG Þg, U ¼ G, and uU ¼ IdG . Since U ¼ G, and uU ¼ IdG , f ðuU Þ1 ¼

f ðIdG Þ1 ¼ f IdG ¼ f , and uU ðUÞ ¼ IdG ðUÞ ¼ U ¼ G. Since uU ðUÞ ¼ G; and f ðuU Þ1 ¼ f , and f ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus, f : G ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus. Conversely, let f : G ! Rk be smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus. We want to show that f : G ! Rk is a smooth function in the sense just deﬁned. Let us take any a in G. We have to ﬁnd an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of G satisfying a 2 U such that the composite function f ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus. Let us take ðG; IdG Þ for ðU; uU Þ. Hence, uU ðUÞ ¼ IdG ðUÞ ¼ U ¼ G; and f ðuU Þ1 ¼ f ðIdG Þ1 ¼ f IdG ¼ f . Since uU ðUÞ ¼ G; f ðuU Þ1 ¼ f , and f : G ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus, f ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus. Thus, we have shown that f : G ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus if and only if f : G ! Rk is a smooth function in the sense just deﬁned. Note 2.6 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let f : M ! Rk be any smooth function. Similar to the proof of Theorem 2.1, it can be shown that for every p in M, and for every admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of M satisfying p 2 U; the composite function f ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! Rk is smooth in the sense of ordinary calculus.

2.2 Algebra of Smooth Functions Note 2.7 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. By C 1 ðMÞ, we mean the collection of all smooth functions f : M ! R. For every f, g in C 1 ðMÞ, we deﬁne ðf þ gÞ : M ! R as follows: for every x in M, ðf þ gÞð xÞ f ð xÞ þ gð xÞ: For every f in C1 ðMÞ, and for every real t, we deﬁne ðtf Þ : M ! R as follows: for every x in M, ðtf Þð xÞ tðf ð xÞÞ: It is clear that the set C 1 ðMÞ, together with vector addition, and scalar multiplication deﬁned as above, constitutes a real linear space. In short, C 1 ðMÞ is a real linear space. For every f, g in C 1 ðMÞ, we deﬁne ðf gÞ : M ! R as follows: for every x in M, ðf gÞð xÞ ðf ð xÞÞðgð xÞÞ:

In short, C 1 ðMÞ is an algebra. Note 2.8 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p 2 M. Let ðU; uU Þ be an admissible coordinate chart of M satisfying p 2 U. Let c be in Cp ðMÞ. Since c is in Cp ðMÞ, there exists a real number d [ 0 such that c is a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M, and cð0Þ ¼ p. Since c is a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M, and 0 is in ðd; dÞ, c is continuous at 0. Since c is continuous at 0, cð0Þ ¼ p, and U is an open neighborhood of p, c1 ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of 0, and hence, ðd; dÞ \ c1 ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of 0. Also since domðuU Þ ¼ U, and domðcÞ ¼ ðd; dÞ, domðuU cÞ ¼ ðd; dÞ \ c1 ðUÞ. Since ðuU cÞ : ððd; dÞ \ c1 ðUÞÞ ! Rm , ðd; dÞ \ c1 ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of 0, uU is a smooth, and c is a smooth map, ðuU cÞ0 ð0Þ exists and is a member of Rm . Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p 2 M.

Lemma 2.9 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p 2 M. Let c; c1 be in Cp ðMÞ.

Rm is continuous. Since c1 : ð1; 1Þ ! Rm is continuous, and 0 is in the open interval ð1; 1Þ, c1 is continuous at 0. Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U is a 1–1, onto, continuous function, and uU ðUÞ is an open subset of Rm . Since p 2 U, uU ðpÞ 2 uU ðUÞ. Since c1 ð0Þ ¼ 0v þ uU ðpÞ ¼ uU ðpÞ 2 uU ðUÞ, and ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U is continuous, ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U is continuous at the point c1 ð0Þ. Since c1 ð0Þ 2 uU ðUÞ, and uU ðUÞ is an open subset of Rm , uU ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of c1 ð0Þ. Since c1 : ð1; 1Þ ! Rm is continuous, uU ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of c1 ð0Þ, there exists d [ 0 such that d\1 and, for every t in ðd; dÞ, we have c1 ðtÞ 2 uU ðUÞ, and hence, cðtÞ ¼ ððuU Þ1 c1 ÞðtÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 ðc1 ðtÞÞ 2 U. Since cðtÞ 2 U for every t in ðd; dÞ, it follows that ðd; dÞ is a subset of the domðcÞ. Hence, 0 is an interior point of the domain of the function c. This proves 2. For 3: In 2, we have seen that c is deﬁned over ðd; dÞ. Now, it remains to be proved that c is a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M; that is, c is C 1 at every point t in ðd; dÞ. Here, c is deﬁned over ðd; dÞ, so cðtÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ. Since cðtÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ, and cðtÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 c1 ðtÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 ðc1 ðtÞÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 ðtv þ uU ð pÞÞ; ðuU Þ1 ðtv þ uU ðpÞÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ. Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U. Since ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U, and ðuU Þ1 ðtv þ uU ðpÞÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ, ðuU Þ1 ðtv þ uU ðpÞÞ is in U for every t in ðd; dÞ. Since ðuU Þ1 ðtv þ uU ðpÞÞ is in U for every t in ðd; dÞ, and cðtÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 ðtv þ uU ðpÞÞ, cðtÞ is in U for every t in ðd; dÞ: Thus, c maps ðd; dÞ to U: Now, it remains to be proved that c is a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M; that is, c is C 1 at every point t in ðd; dÞ: For this purpose, let us ﬁx any t in ðd; dÞ: Since c1 is C1 at t; c ¼ ðuU Þ1 c1 ; c maps ðd; dÞ to U; and t is in ðd; dÞ; uU c is C 1 at t: Since uU c is C1 at t; and ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M satisfying cðtÞ 2 U, by Theorem 2.2, c is C1 at t in ðd; dÞ: This proves 3. From 1, 2, and 3, we ﬁnd that c is a parametrized curve in M through p; that is, c is in Cp ðMÞ.

2.3 Smooth Germs on Smooth Manifolds Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M: Under the vector addition, and scalar multiplication as deﬁned in Theorem 2.23, F p ðMÞ is a real linear space. The members of F p ðMÞ are called C 1 -germs at p on M. Thus, if f is in Cp1 ðMÞ, then the equivalence class ½f is in F p ðMÞ; and hence, ½f is a C1 -germ at p on M: Theorem 2.24 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M: Let c be in Cp ðMÞ: Let f be in Cp1 ðMÞ: Then, 1. 0 is an interior point of the domain of the real-valued function f c; cÞð0Þ 2. limt!0 ðf cÞð0þtÞðf exists, t 3. if f g, then lim t!0

Proof 1: Since c is in Cp ðMÞ, by the deﬁnition of Cp ðMÞ; there exists a real number d [ 0 such that c : ðd; dÞ ! M, cð0Þ ¼ p; and c is a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M: Since cis a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M; c is a continuous map. Since f is in Cp1 ðMÞ; f : ðdom f Þ ! R and dom f is an open neighborhood of p in M: Since cð0Þ ¼ p; and p is in dom f ; 0 is an element of the domain of f c: Since f is in Cp1 ðMÞ; f is continuous on some open neighborhood U of p. Since c : ðd; dÞ ! M is a continuous map, cð0Þ ¼ p; and U is an open neighborhood of p; there exists e [ 0 such that e\d and, for every t in ðe; eÞ, we have cðtÞ 2 U ð ðdom f ÞÞ; and hence, ðf cÞðtÞ ¼ f ðcðtÞÞ 2 R: It follows that ðe; eÞ is a subset of domðf cÞ: Hence, 0 is an interior point of the domain of the function f c: This proves 1. 2: Since 0 is an interior point of the domain of the real-valued function f c; it is meaningful to write ð f c Þ ð 0 þ t Þ ð f c Þ ð 0Þ ; t!0 t

Rm is C1 at the point 0 in R: Since ðuU cÞ : ðd; dÞ ! Rm is C 1 at the point 0;

f ðuU Þ1 : uU ððdom f Þ \ U Þ ! R

is C 1 at the point ðuU cÞð0Þ in Rm ; and the domain of ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ is an open neighborhood of ðuU cÞð0Þ in Rm ; the composite function ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ ðuU cÞð¼ f cÞ is C 1 at the point 0 in R: Hence,

This proves 1. For 2: By the deﬁnition of c1 ; the function c1 : ð1; 1Þ ! Rm is continuous. Since c1 : ð1; 1Þ ! Rm is continuous, and 0 is in the open interval ð1; 1Þ; c1 is continuous at 0. Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M; ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U is a 1–1; onto, continuous function, and uU ðUÞ is an open subset of Rm : Since p 2 U; uU ðpÞ 2 uU ðUÞ: Since c1 ð0Þ ¼ ð0; 0; . . .; 0Þ þ uU ðpÞ ¼ uU ðpÞ 2 uU ðUÞ; and ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ !

For 3: In 2, we have seen that c is deﬁned over ðd; dÞ: Now, it remains to be proved that c is a smooth map from ðd; dÞ to M; that is, c is C 1 at every point t in ðd; dÞ: Here, c is deﬁned over ðd; dÞ; so cðtÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ: Since cðtÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ; and cðtÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 c1 ðtÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 ðc1 ðtÞÞ ¼ ðuU Þ1 ððt; 0; . . .; 0Þ þ uU ð pÞÞ; ðuU Þ1 ððt; 0; . . .; 0Þ þ uU ðpÞÞ is meaningful for every t in ðd; dÞ: Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M; ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ !

From 1, 2, and 3, we ﬁnd that c is a parametrized curve in M through p; that is, c is in Cp ðMÞ: Since ½f 2 Hp ðMÞ; and c is in Cp ðMÞ, by the deﬁnition of Hp ðMÞ; c; ½f ¼ 0: Put uU ð pÞ ða1 ; . . .; am Þ: Next, let us deﬁne m functions F1 : ðd; dÞ !

R2 as follows: For every x in V1 gð xÞ f 1 ð xÞ; f 2 ð xÞ : Since f 1 2 Cp1 ðMÞ; f 1 is continuous at p: Similarly, f 2 is continuous at p: Since f ; f 2 are continuous at p; and gðxÞ ¼ ðf 1 ðxÞ; f 2 ðxÞÞ for every x in V1 ; g : V1 ! R2 is continuous at p. Since g : V1 ! R2 is continuous at p, and G is an open neighborhood of ðf 1 ðpÞ; f 2 ðpÞÞð¼ gðpÞÞ in R2 ; there exists an open neighborhood Vð V1 ¼ domðf 1 Þ \ domðf 2 ÞÞ of p such that gðVÞ is contained in G. Since gðVÞ is contained in G; and F : G ! R, for every x in V; FðgðxÞÞð¼ Fðf 1 ðxÞ; f 2 ðxÞÞÞ is a real number. Now, let us deﬁne a function 1

Note 2.44 Since the multiplication operation of real numbers is a smooth function from R2 to R, in Theorem 2.42, we can take multiplication operation in place of F: oF 1 2 2 oF 1 2 1 So ox 1 ðf ðpÞ; f ðpÞÞ becomes f ðpÞ; and ox2 ðf ðpÞ; f ðpÞÞ becomes f ðpÞ: Hence, we get 1 2 1 2 oF 1 oF 1 2 2 d f f p ¼ ðdf Þp ¼ f ð pÞ; f ð pÞ f ð pÞ; f ð pÞ df p þ df p ox1 ox2 2 1 1 2 ¼ f ð pÞ df p þ f ð pÞ df p or,

Proof 1. This fact has been shown earlier. 2. In 1, we have seen that u1 is in Cp1 ðMÞ: Since u1 is in Cp1 ðMÞ, the C 1 -germ ½f is in F p ðMÞ; and hence, ½u1 ð¼ ½u1 þ Hp Þ is in the cotangent space Tp of M at p: Similarly, ½u2 ð¼ ½u2 þ Hp Þ is in the cotangent space Tp of M at p (see Fig. 2.2). We have to show that ½u1 ; ½u2 are linearly independent. For this purpose, let a1 ½u1 þ a2 ½u2 ¼ 0; where a1 ; a2 are real numbers.

Theorem 2.57 Let M be a 2-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M: For every c in Cp ðMÞ we deﬁne a function ½c : Tp ðM Þ ! R; as follows: For every ½f in Tp ðMÞ; where f is in Cp1 ðMÞ; ½c ð½ f Þ h½c; ½ f i: Then, the mapping ½c 7! ½c is a 1–1 mapping from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto T p ðMÞ: Proof Here, we must prove 1. ½c 7! ½c is a well-deﬁned mapping from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg to T p ðMÞ; 2. if ½c ¼ ½c0 , where c; c0 2 Cp ðMÞ, then ½c ¼ ½c0 ; 3. for every T in T p ðMÞ; there exists c in Cp ðMÞ such that ½c ¼ T: For 1: Let ½c ¼ ½c0 ; that is, c c0 : We have to show that ½c ¼ ½c0 ; that is, for every ½f in Tp ðMÞ; ½c ð½f Þ ¼ ½c0 ð½f Þ: For this purpose, let us take any ½f in Tp ðMÞ: Since c c0 ; and ½f is in Tp ðMÞ, by the deﬁnition of ; c; ½f ¼ c0 ; ½f : Now LHS ¼ ½c ð½ f Þ ¼ h½c; ½ f i ¼ c; ½ f ¼ c0 ; ½ f ¼ h½c0 ; ½ f i ¼ ½c0 ð½ f Þ ¼ RHS: So ½c 7! ½c is a well-deﬁned mapping. Next, by Theorem 2.54, ½c is in T p ðMÞ for every c in Cp ðMÞ. This proves 1. For 2: Let ½c ¼ ½c0 , where c; c0 2 Cp ðMÞ: We have to prove that ½c ¼ ½c0 ; that is, c c0 ; that is, for every ½f in Tp ðMÞ; c; ½f ¼ c0 ; ½f : For this purpose, let us take any ½f in Tp ðMÞ: We have to show that c; ½ f ¼ c0 ; ½ f :

Since ½c ¼ ½c0 , ½c : Tp ðMÞ ! R; ½c0 : Tp ðMÞ ! R; and ½f is in Tp ðMÞ;

LHS ¼ c; ½ f ¼ h½c; ½ f i ¼ ½c ð½ f Þ ¼ ½c0 ð½ f Þ ¼ h½c0 ; ½ f i ¼ c0 ; ½ f ¼ RHS: For 3: Let us take any T in T p ðMÞ: Since T is in T p ðMÞ; and T p ðMÞ is dual space of the real linear space Tp ðMÞ; T is a linear functional on Tp ðMÞ; and hence, by Theorem 2.56, there exists c in Cp ðMÞ such that for every ½f in Tp ðMÞ; T ð½ f Þ ¼ h½c; ½ f i: Since, for every ½f in Tp ðMÞ; we have Tð½f Þ ¼ h½c; ½f i ¼ ½c ð½f Þ; T ¼ ½c : This proves 3. h Similarly, we can prove the following theorem. Theorem 2.58 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M. For every c in Cp ðMÞ, we deﬁne a function ½c : Tp ðM Þ ! R; as follows: For every ½f in Tp ðMÞ, where f is in Cp1 ðMÞ, ½c ð½ f Þ h½c; ½ f i: Then, the mapping ½c 7! ½c is a 1–1 mapping from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto T p ðMÞ: Proof Its proof is quite similar to the proof of Theorem 2.57.

Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M. Let g be the mapping ½c 7! ½c from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg to T p ðMÞ; as deﬁned in Theorem 2.58. By Theorem 2.58, g is a 1–1 mapping from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto T p ðMÞ; and hence, g1 is a 1–1 mapping from T p ðMÞ onto f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg: Deﬁne vector addition, and scalar multiplication over the set f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg as follows: For every c; c0 in Cp ðMÞ; and for every real t, ½c þ ½c0 ¼ g1 ðgð½cÞ þ gð½c0 ÞÞ;

100

2 Tangent Spaces

and t½c ¼ g1 ðtðgð½cÞÞÞ: Since T p ðMÞ is a real linear space, and g is a 1–1 mapping from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto T p ðMÞ; f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg is also a real linear space. Clearly, g : ½c 7! ½c is an isomorphism from real linear space f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto real linear space T p ðMÞ: Thus, we have the following formulae: gð½c þ ½c0 Þ ¼ gð½cÞ þ gð½c0 Þ and gðt½cÞ ¼ tðgð½cÞÞ: In other words,

ð½c þ ½c0 Þ ¼ ð½cÞ þð½c0 Þ

and ðt½cÞ ¼ tð½cÞ ; because g is the mapping ½c 7! ½c from f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg to T p ðMÞ, as deﬁned in Theorem 2.58. Since g : ½c 7! ½c is an isomorphism from real linear space f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto real linear space T p ðMÞ, g1 : ½c 7! ½c is also an isomorphism. Also, dim ½c : c 2 Cp ðM Þ ¼ dim T p ðM Þ :

so

Further, since dimðT p ðMÞÞ ¼ dimðTp ðMÞÞ ¼ ðthe dimension of the manifoldÞ, dim ½c : c 2 Cp ðM Þ ¼ ðthe dimension of the manifoldÞ: It follows that the real linear space f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg is isomorphic to Rm :

Note 2.60 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M. Since f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg ¼ Tp M; and f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg is a real linear space, Tp M is a real linear space. Since g : ½c 7! ½c is an isomorphism from real linear space f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg onto real linear space T p ðMÞ, f½c : c 2 Cp ðMÞg and T p ðMÞ are isomorphic, and hence, Tp M and T p ðMÞ are isomorphic. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold.

Note 2.71 Similarly, under the same conditions as in Theorem 2.70, we get of ¼ ou02

2 ou1 of ou of þ : ou02 ou1 ou02 ou2

In short, we write 2 X of ou j of ¼ ; ou0i ou0i ou j j¼1 and we say that cotangent vectors are covariant vectors. Similar results can be obtained for 3-dimensional smooth manifold, etc. Note 2.72 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be an element of M, and let F : M ! N be any 1 smooth map. Then, for every f in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, f F is in Cp1 ðMÞ. 1 Reason: Since f is in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, f is a real-valued function such that dom f is an open neighborhood of FðpÞ in N. Since F : M ! N is a smooth map, and p is in M, F : M ! N is continuous at p. Since F : M ! N is continuous at p, and dom f is an open neighborhood of FðpÞ in N, F 1 ðdom f Þ is an open neighborhood of p in M. Since domðf FÞ ¼ F 1 ðdom f Þ, and F 1 ðdom f Þ is an open neighborhood of p in M, domðf FÞ is an open neighborhood of p in M. Now, it remains to be proved that f F is C1 at p. Since F : M ! N is a smooth map, and p is in M, F is C 1 at p. Since f is in 1 CFðpÞ ðNÞ, f is a real-valued function such that dom f is an open neighborhood of FðpÞ in N, and f is C1 at FðpÞ in N. Since the F-image of domðf FÞ is contained in dom f, F is C 1 at p, and f is C 1 at FðpÞ, the composite function f F is C1 at p. Hence, f F is in Cp1 ðMÞ.

Theorem 2.73 Let M be any m-dimensional smooth manifold, and let N be any ndimensional smooth manifold. Let F : M ! N be any smooth map, and let p be in M. Let F : TF ð pÞ ! Tp be the function deﬁned as follows: For every ðdf ÞFðpÞ in TFðpÞ , where f is in 1 CFðpÞ ðNÞ,

F ðdf ÞF ð pÞ ¼ ðd ðf F ÞÞp :

116

2 Tangent Spaces

Then, F is linear. 1 Proof For every f in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, from the above note, f F is in Cp1 ðMÞ, and hence, 1 ðNÞ, F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þ ð ðdðf FÞÞp Þ is ðdðf FÞÞp is in Tp . Since, for every f in CFðpÞ 1 ðNÞ, and any in Tp , F : TFðpÞ ! Tp is a function. Next, let us take any f ; g in CFðpÞ real s; t. We have to show that

F ðd ðsf þ tgÞÞF ð pÞ ¼ s F ðdf ÞF ð pÞ þ t F ðdgÞF ð pÞ : On using Theorem 2.45, we have LHS ¼ F ðd ðsf þ tgÞÞF ð pÞ ¼ ðd ððsf þ tgÞ F ÞÞp ¼ ðd ðððsf Þ F þ ðtgÞ F ÞÞÞp ¼ ðd ððsðf F Þ þ tðg F ÞÞÞÞp ¼ s ðd ðf F ÞÞp þ t ðd ðg F ÞÞp h ¼ s F ðdf ÞF ð pÞ þ t F ðdgÞF ð pÞ ¼ RHS: h Note 2.74 Let M be any m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N be any n-dimensional smooth manifold. Let p be in M. Let F : M ! N be any smooth map. Fix any c in Tp ðMÞ, where c is in Cp ðMÞ. As in Theorem 2.73, F : TFðpÞ ! Tp . So for every 1 ðdf ÞFðpÞ in TFðpÞ where f is in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þ is in Tp . Since F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þ is in Tp and, ½c is in Tp ðMÞ, h½c; F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þi is a real number. We shall try to show that to R is linear, the mapping ðdf ÞFðpÞ 7! h½c; F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þi from real linear space TFðpÞ 1 that is, for every f ; g in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, and for every real s; t; h½c; F s ðdf ÞF ð pÞ þ t ðdgÞF ð pÞ i ¼ sh½c; F ðdf ÞF ð pÞ i þ th½c; F ðdgÞF ð pÞ i:

2.7 Contravariant Vectors and Covariant Vectors

so, LHS = RHS. So, ðdf ÞFðpÞ 7! h½c; F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þi is a linear functional on the real linear space TFðpÞ , and hence, the mapping ðdf ÞFðpÞ 7! h½c; F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þi is a member of T FðpÞ . Let us denote the mapping ðdf ÞFðpÞ 7! h½c; F ððdf ÞFðpÞ Þi by b ð½cÞ. Thus, for every ½c in Tp ðMÞ, F b ð½cÞ is in T FðpÞ . Since F b ð½cÞ is in T FðpÞ , F b ð½cÞ; that is, for there exists a unique F ð½cÞ in TFðpÞ ðNÞ such that ðF ð½cÞÞ ¼ F 1 every ðdf ÞFðpÞ in TFðpÞ where f is in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, ðF ð½cÞÞ ðdf ÞF ð pÞ ¼ h½c; F ðdf ÞF ð pÞ i: Since for every ½c in Tp ðMÞ, F ð½cÞ is a unique member of TFðpÞ ðNÞ, F : Tp ðMÞ !

2.8 Tangent Maps Deﬁnition Let M be any m-dimensional smooth manifold, and N be any ndimensional smooth manifold. Let p be in M. Let F : M ! N be any smooth map. Let p be in M. The mapping F : Tp ðMÞ ! TFðpÞ ðNÞ; as deﬁned in the Note 2.74, is called the tangent map induced by F. 1 We have seen that, for every ðdf ÞFðpÞ in TFðpÞ where f is in CFðpÞ ðNÞ, and for every ½c in Tp ðMÞ where c is in Cp ðMÞ,

ðF ð½cÞÞ ðdf ÞF ð pÞ ¼ h½c; F ðdf ÞF ð pÞ i: Theorem 2.75 Let M be any m-dimensional smooth manifold, and let N be any ndimensional smooth manifold. Let F : M !

We have to show that F ðs½c1 þ t½c2 Þ ¼ sðF ð½c1 ÞÞ þ tðF ð½c2 ÞÞ: We ﬁrst try to prove that, for every ðdf ÞFðpÞ in TFðpÞ ;

Multivariable Differential Calculus

In the very deﬁnition of smooth manifold, there is a statement like “…for every point p in the topological space M there exist an open neighborhood U of p, an open subset V of Euclidean space Rn ; and a homeomorphism u from U onto V …”. This phrase clearly indicates that homeomorphism u can act as a messenger in carrying out the well-developed multivariable differential calculus of Rn into the realm of unornamented topological space M. So the role played by multivariable differential calculus in the development of the theory of smooth manifolds is paramount. Many theorems of multivariable differential calculus are migrated into manifolds like their generalizations. Although most students are familiar with multivariable differential calculus from their early courses, but the exact form of theorems we need here are generally missing from their collection of theorems. So this is somewhat long chapter on multivariable differential calculus that is pertinent here for a good understanding of smooth manifolds.

3.1 Linear Transformations Deﬁnition The set of all linear transformations from Rn to Rm is denoted by LðRn ; Rm Þ: By LðRn Þ, we mean LðRn ; Rn Þ: Thus, LðRn Þ denotes the set of all linear transformations from Rn to Rn . We know that LðRn ; Rm Þ is a real linear space under pointwise vector addition and pointwise scalar multiplication.

It is easy to see that BA is a linear transformation from Rn to Rk ; and hence, BA is in LðRn ; Rk Þ: Note 3.1 Let A be in LðR3 ; R2 Þ: Let (t1, t2, t3) be any member of R3 satisfying qﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ qﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ |(t1, t2, t3)| ≤ 1. Since jt1 j ¼ ðt1 Þ2 ðt1 Þ2 þ ðt2 Þ2 þ ðt3 Þ2 ¼ jðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þj 1; so jt1 j 1: Similarly, jt2 j 1; and jt3 j 1: Further, since A is a linear transformation from R3 to R2 ; jAððt1 ; t2 ; t3 ÞÞj ¼ jAðt1 ð1; 0; 0Þ þ t2 ð0; 1; 0Þ þ t3 ð0; 0; 1ÞÞj ¼ jt1 ðAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞÞ þ t2 ðAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞÞ þ t3 ðAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞÞj jt1 ðAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞÞj þ jt2 ðAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞÞj þ jt3 ðAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞÞj ¼ jt1 jjAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞj þ jt2 jjAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞj þ jt3 jjAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞj 1 jAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞj þ 1 jAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞj þ 1 jAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞj ¼ jAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞj: Thus, we have seen that for every (t1, t2, t3) in R3 satisfying jðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þj 1; we have jAððt1 ; t2 ; t3 ÞÞj ðjAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞjÞ: So, ðjAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞjÞ is an upper bound of the set

jAððt1 ; t2 ; t3 ÞÞj : ðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þ is in R3 ; and jðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þj 1 :

Thus, fjAððt1 ; t2 ; t3 ÞÞj : ðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þ is in R3 ; and jðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þj 1g is a nonempty bounded above set of real numbers, and hence, sup jAððt1 ; t2 ; t3 ÞÞj : ðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þ is in R3 ; and jðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þj 1 exists. Further, we have seen that sup jAððt1 ; t2 ; t3 ÞÞj : ðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þ is in R3 ; and jðt1 ; t2 ; t3 Þj 1 ðjAðð1; 0; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 1; 0ÞÞj þ jAðð0; 0; 1ÞÞjÞ: Similarly, if A is in LðRn ; Rm Þ; then supfjAðxÞj : x is in Rn ; and jxj 1g exists, and supfjAðxÞj : x is in Rn ; and j xj 1g ðjAðð1; . . .; 0ÞÞj þ þ jAðð0; . . .; 1ÞÞjÞ:

Also, jjxj xj ¼ jjxj jjxj ¼ jxj jxj ¼ 1 1: It follows that 1 jAðjxj xÞj is a member of the set fjAðyÞj : y is in Rn ; and jyj 1g; and hence, 1 xÞj kAk. Now, since from the deﬁnition of kAk , jAðjxj

For any x, y in Rn satisfying jx yj\1; we have jAðxÞ AðyÞj ¼ jAðx yÞj k Akjx yj ¼ 0 jx yj ¼ 0\e: Thus, we see that in all cases, for every ɛ > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that for every x, y in Rn satisfying jx yj\d; we have jAðxÞ AðyÞj\e: So, by the deﬁnition of uniform continuity, A is uniformly continuous. This proves 2. 3: Let A, B be in LðRn ; Rm Þ: Let us take any x in Rn satisfying jxj 1: Now, jðA þ BÞðxÞj ¼ jAðxÞ þ BðxÞj jAðxÞj þ jBðxÞj k Akj xj þ jBðxÞj k Akj xj þ kBkj xj ¼ ðk Ak þ kBkÞj xj ðk Ak þ kBkÞ 1 ¼ k Ak þ kBk: So, kAk þ kBk is an upper bound of the set fjðA þ BÞðxÞj : x is in Rn ; and jxj 1g; and hence, kA þ Bk ¼ supfjðA þ BÞðxÞj : x is in Rn ; and j xj 1g k Ak þ kBk: This proves 3.

Theorem 3.3 Let X be the set of all invertible (i.e., 1–1 and onto) members of LðRn Þ: 1. If A is in X; then kA1 k is nonzero. 2. If A is in X, then the open sphere Sð1=kA1 kÞ ðAÞ is contained in X; that is, if A is in X, B is in LðRn Þ; and kB Ak\ kA11 k, then B is in X. 3. X is an open subset of LðRn Þ: 4. The mapping A 7! A1 from X to X is continuous. Proof 1: Let us take any A in X: We claim that kA1 k is nonzero. If not, otherwise, let kA1 k ¼ 0: We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since A is in X, by the deﬁnition of X; A−1 exists and A−1 is in X: Also, AA−1 = I, where I denotes the identity transformation from Rn to Rn : For every x in Rn ; 0 jA1 ðxÞj kA1 kjxj ¼ 0 jxj ¼ 0; so jA1 ðxÞj ¼ 0; and hence, A−1(x) = 0. Therefore, ð1; 0; . . .; 0Þ ¼ Iðð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ ¼ ðAA1 Þðð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ

¼ A A1 ðð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ ¼ Aðð0; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ ¼ ð0; 0; . . .; 0Þ; and hence, 1 = 0, a contradiction. So, our claim is true, that is, kA1 k is nonzero. This proves 1. 2: Let A be in X; and let B be in LðRn Þ: Since A is in X, by 1, kA1 k is nonzero, and hence, kA11 k is a real number. Also, by the deﬁnition of norm kk, kA11 k is a positive real number. Let 1 kB Ak\ 1 : kA k We have to show that B is in X; that is, B : Rn ! Rn is 1–1 and onto. 1–1ness: Let B(x) = B(y). We have to prove that x = y, that is, x y ¼ 0. If not, otherwise, let x y 6¼ 0. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since x y 6¼ 0, 0\jx yj: Since B(x) = B(y), and B is a linear transformation, 0 ¼ BðxÞ BðyÞ ¼ Bðx yÞ. Hence,

jx yj ¼ A1 A ðx yÞ ¼ A1 ðAðx yÞÞ A1 jAðx yÞj ¼ A1 jAðx yÞ 0j ¼ A1 jAðx yÞ Bðx yÞj ¼ A1 jðA BÞðx yÞj A1 ðkA Bkjx yjÞ

¼ A1 kB Ak jx yj\ A1 1 jx yj ¼ jx yj: kA k

132

3 Multivariable Differential Calculus

Thus, jx yj\jx yj; which gives a contradiction. This proves that B is 1–1. Ontoness: Let us take any y in Rn : Since B : Rn ! Rn is 1–1, B ((1, 0, …, 0)), …, B((0, …, 0, 1)) are n distinct elements of Rn : Now, we shall show that B((1, 0, …, 0)), …, B((0, …, 0, 1)) are linearly independent. For this purpose, let t1(B((1, 0, …, 0))) + ⋯ + tn(B((0, …, 0, 1))) = 0. We have to show that t1 = 0, …, tn = 0. Here, Bðð0; . . .; 0ÞÞ ¼ ð0; . . .; 0Þ ¼ 0 ¼ t1 ðBðð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞÞ þ þ tn ðBðð0; . . .; 0; 1ÞÞÞ ¼ Bðt1 ð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ þ þ Bðtn ð0; . . .; 0; 1ÞÞ ¼ Bððt1 ; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ þ þ Bðð0; . . .; 0; tn ÞÞ ¼ Bððt1 ; 0; . . .; 0Þ þ þ ð0; . . .; 0; tn ÞÞ ¼ Bððt1 ; . . .; tn ÞÞ; and B is 1–1, so (0,…, 0) = (t1,…, tn), and hence, t1 = 0,…, tn = 0. Thus, B ((1, 0,…, 0)),…, B((0,…, 0, 1)) constitute a basis of the n-dimensional real linear space Rn : Since B((1, 0,…, 0)),…, B((0, …, 0, 1)) constitute a basis of space Rn ; and y is in Rn ; there exist real numbers s1, …, sn such that y ¼ s1 ðBðð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞÞ þ þ sn ðBðð0; . . .; 0; 1ÞÞÞ ¼ Bðs1 ð1; 0; . . .; 0ÞÞ þ þ Bðsn ð0; . . .; 0; 1ÞÞ ¼ Bððs1 ; . . .; sn ÞÞ: Thus, B((s1, …, sn)) = y, where (s1, …, sn) is in Rn : This proves that B is onto. This proves 2. 3: Let us take any A in X. Since A is in X, by 1, kA1 k is nonzero. Now by 2, the open sphere fB : B 2 LðRn Þ; and kB Ak\ kA11 kg is contained in X. Hence, by the deﬁnition of open set, X is an open subset of LðRn Þ: This proves 3. 4: Let us take any A in X. We have to prove that the mapping B 7! B1 is continuous at A Since A is in X, by 1, kA1 k is nonzero. If B is in LðRn Þ satisfying kB Ak\ kA11 k ; then by 2, B is in X, and hence, B−1 exists. Now, it is enough to prove that limB!A kB1 A1 k exists, and its value is 0. Here,

Thus, if kB Ak\ kA11 k, then 1 1 1 0 B A A 1 þ

By Theorem 3.2, the mapping B 7! kBk from X to R is continuous, so limB!A kB Ak ¼ 0: Also, 1 1 1 1 lim A 1 þ 1 þ ¼ A B!A 1 kA1 kkB Ak 1 kA1 k 0 1 ¼ A ð1 þ 1Þ ¼ 0:

so, limB!A kB1 A1 k exists, and its value is 0. This shows that the mapping h B 7! B1 from X to X is continuous at A. This proves 4.

Let {e1, e2, e3} be a basis of real linear space R3 ; and let {f1, f2} be a basis of real linear space R2 : Then, the mapping A 7! ½A from LðR3 ; R2 Þ to M is 1–1 and onto.

½BA ¼ ½B½ A: Proof Here, A is in LðR4 ; R3 Þ and B is in LðR3 ; R2 Þ; so their product BA (i.e., the composite B ∘ A) is in LðR4 ; R2 Þ; and hence, LHSð¼ ½BAÞ is a 2 × 4 matrix. Since A is in LðR4 ; R3 Þ; [A] is a 3 × 4 matrix. Since B is in LðR3 ; R2 Þ; [B] is a 2 × 3 matrix. Since [B] is a 2 × 3 matrix, and [A] is a 3 × 4 matrix, RHSð¼ ½B½AÞ is a 2 × 4 matrix.

Theorem 3.16 Let E be an open subset of Rn : Let f : E ! Rm : Let x be in E. If f is differentiable at x, then f is continuous at x. Proof Let f be differentiable at x. We have to prove that f is continuous at x, that is, limh!0 ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞÞ ¼ 0: For this purpose, let us take any ɛ > 0. Since f is differentiable at x, there exists a linear transformation A from Rn to Rm 1 such that 0 ¼ limh!0 ðjhj ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞÞ; and hence, there exists δ > 0 such that for every h in fh : x þ h 2 Eg satisfying 0\jhj\d, we have e 1 1 jf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞj ¼ ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞ 0\ : 2 j hj j hj Case I: when kAk 6¼ 0 e Now, if h is in fh : x þ h 2 Eg satisfying 0\jhj\minf1; 2kAk ; dg, then 1 ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞ þ AðhÞ jðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞÞ 0j ¼ jhj jhj 1 jhj ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞ þ jAðhÞj j hj 1 jhj ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞ þ k Akjhj j hj 1 1 ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞ þ k Akjhj jhj e e \1 þ k Ak ¼ e: 2 2k Ak

So, f is continuous at x. Case II: when kAk ¼ 0 Here, kAk ¼ 0, so A = 0. Now, if h is in fh : x þ h 2 Eg satisfying 0\jhj\minf1; dg, then 1 ðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ 0ðhÞÞ jðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞÞ 0j ¼ jhj jhj 1 ¼ j hj jðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ 0ðhÞÞj j hj 1 e 1 jðf ðx þ hÞ f ðxÞ AðhÞÞj \1 \e: 2 j hj So, f is continuous at x.

Further, since A is differentiable on Rn , by Theorem 3.16, A is continuous on Rn : Theorem 3.18 Let E be an open subset of Rn : Let x be in E. Let f : E ! Rm be differentiable at x. Let G be an open subset of Rm ; and G contains the range of f. Let g : G ! Rp be differentiable at f ðxÞ: Then, 1. the composite function ðg f Þ : E ! Rp is differentiable at x, 2. ðg f Þ0 ðxÞ ¼ ðg0 ðf ðxÞÞÞðf 0 ðxÞÞ: Proof Here, f : E ! Rm is differentiable at x, so by Theorem 3.13, there exists a function r : fh : x þ h 2 Eg !

We have to show that the composite function ðg f Þ : E ! Rp is differentiable at x, and ðg f Þ0 ðxÞ ¼ ðg0 ðf ðxÞÞÞðf 0 ðxÞÞ: By Theorem 3.13, it is enough to ﬁnd a function t : fh : x þ h 2 Eg !

For this purpose, let us take any e [ 0: Since ðg0 ðf ðxÞÞÞðrðhÞÞ ¼ ððg0 ðf ðxÞÞÞ rÞðhÞ; the linear transformation g0 ðf ðxÞÞ is continuous, and r is continuous at 0, the mapping h 7! ðg0 ðf ðxÞÞÞðrðhÞÞ is continuous at 0.

We want to apply Lemma 3.29 on f c: Since f : E ! R2 is differentiable on E, f is continuous on E. Since c is continuous on ½0; 1; the range of c is contained in E, and f is continuous on E, f c is continuous on [0, 1]. Since c is differentiable on the open interval ð0; 1Þ; the range of c is contained in E, and f : E ! R2 is differentiable on E, by Theorem 3.18, the composite function ðf cÞ : ½0; 1 !

R2 is differentiable on E, and the mapping x 7! f 0 ðxÞ from Eð R3 Þ to the metric space LðR3 ; R2 Þ is continuous, then f is C1 function (i.e., for i = 1, 2, and j = 1, 2, 3, each function Dj fi : E ! R exists and is continuous). Proof Let us take any x in E. Since x is in E, and f : E ! R2 is differentiable on E, f is differentiable at x. Since f is differentiable at x, by Theorem 3.20, all the partial derivatives ðDj fi ÞðxÞ exist. This shows that each Dj fi : E ! R is a function for i = 1, 2, and j = 1, 2, 3. Now, we shall try to prove that D1 f2 : E ! R is continuous. For this purpose, let us ﬁx any x in E.

U is contained in E, f is 1–1 on U (i.e., if x and y are in U, and f ðxÞ ¼ f ðyÞ; then x = y), f(U) is connected and open in R3 ; the 1–1 function f−1 from f(U) onto U is a C1 function, if f is a C2 function, then f−1 from f(U) onto U is a C2 function, etc.

Proof Let f1 : E ! R; f2 : E ! R; f3 : E ! R be the component functions of f, that is, f ðxÞ ¼ ðf1 ðxÞ; f2 ðxÞ; f3 ðxÞÞ for every x in E. Let a ða1 ; a2 ; a3 Þ: Let X be

R of fi is continuous, and f−1is continuous on f ðSr ðaÞÞ; by the above formula for num and denom, we ﬁnd that num and denom are continuous functions on f ðSr ðaÞÞ; and num Þ is continuous on f ðS ðaÞÞ: hence, D12 ðg3 Þð¼ denom r Similarly, all the other Djk ðgi Þ : f ðSr ðaÞÞ !

Theorem 3.38 Let E be an open subset of Rn : Let f : E ! Rn be a function. If 1. f is a C1 function, 2. f 0 ðaÞ is invertible for every a in E, then f is an open mapping (i.e., f-image of every open subset of E in an open set). Proof Let us take any open subset G of E. We have to prove that f(G) is an open set. For this purpose, let us take any f(a) in f(G) where a is in G. Since a 2 G E, by the given assumption, f 0 ðaÞ is invertible. Now, by the inverse function theorem, there exists an open neighborhood U of a such that U is contained in G and f(U) is open in R3 : Since a 2 U G; f ðaÞ 2 f ðUÞ f ðGÞ: Since f ðaÞ 2 f ðUÞ; and f(U) is open in R3 ; f(U) is an open neighborhood of f(a). Since f(U) is an open neighborhood of f(a) and f ðUÞ f ðGÞ; f(a) is an interior point of f(G), and hence, f(G) is an open set. h

Further, since det½ðf 0 ðða; bÞÞÞx is nonzero, there exists a neighborhood U of ða; bÞ such that det½ðf 0 ððx; yÞÞÞx is nonzero for every ðx; yÞ in U : It follows that ðf 0 ððx; yÞÞÞx is invertible for every ðx; yÞ in U : Now, by the inverse function theorem and Theorem 3.38, there exists an open neighborhood U of ða; bÞ such that (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

Now, we will show that W is an open subset of R2 : For this purpose, let us take any y0 2 W: Since y0 2 W, ð0; y0 Þ 2 FðUÞ: Since ð0; y0 Þ 2 FðUÞ; and FðUÞ is

Hence, W is an open subset of R2 : Since W is an open subset of R2 ; and b 2 W; W is an open neighborhood of b in R2 : Now, we will try to prove that if y 2 W; then there exists a unique x in R such that ðx ; yÞ 2 U; f ððx ; yÞÞ ¼ 0: For this purpose, let us take any y 2 W: The existence of x is clear from the deﬁnition of W. Uniqueness: If not, otherwise, let there exist x ; x in R3 such that ðx ; yÞ 2 U; f ððx ; yÞÞ ¼ 0; ðx ; yÞ 2 U; f ððx ; yÞÞ ¼ 0; x 6¼ x : We have to arrive at a contradiction.

Thus, we have shown that if y 2 W, then there exists a unique x in R3 such that ðx ; yÞ 2 U; f ððx ; yÞÞ ¼ 0: Let us denote x by gðyÞ: Thus, g : W !

This proves 4. 5: Let us ﬁx any y ðy1 ; y2 Þ in W. Since y ¼ ðy1 ; y2 Þ is in W, ðgðy Þ; y Þ 2 U; f ððgðy Þ; y ÞÞ ¼ 0: Let us deﬁne a function hy : W !

Uð EÞ: Here, component functions of hy are y 7! g1 ðyÞ; y 7! g2 ðyÞ; y 7! g3 ðyÞ; y 7! y1 ; y 7! y2 : Since g is a C 1 function, y 7! g1 ðyÞ; y 7! g2 ðyÞ; y 7! g3 ðyÞ are continuously differentiable functions. Further, y 7! y1 ; y 7! y2 are smooth functions. Thus, we see that all component functions of hy are continuously differentiable functions, and hence, hy is a C 1 function on W. Since hy is a C 1 function on W, and y is in W, hy is differentiable at y : Since f is a C 1 function on E, and hy ðy Þ ¼ ðgðy Þ; y Þ 2 U E; f is differentiable at hy ðy Þ: For every y in W, we have ðgðyÞ; yÞ 2 U; and

f hy ðyÞ ¼ f ððgðyÞ; yÞÞ ¼ 0: Let us take any y in W. Since hy is a C 1 function on W, and y is in W, hy is differentiable at y. Since y is in W, hy : W ! Uð EÞ; hy ðyÞ is in E. Since hy ðyÞ is in E, and f is a C 1 function, f is differentiable at hy ðyÞ: Now, since y is in W, f is differentiable at hy ðyÞ; and hy is differentiable at y, by the chain rule of derivative, ðf 0 ððgðyÞ; yÞÞÞ

Since W1 is an open subset of R3 ; W1 R2 is an open subset of R3 R2 : Further, since u : U1 !

Theorem 3.48 Let f : Rm Rp ! Rp be a smooth function. Let a be in Rm and b be in Rp : Let f ða; bÞ ¼ 0: If for every ðx; yÞ in f 1 ð0Þ; the rank of linear transformation f 0 ðx; yÞ is p, then f 1 ð0Þ is a smooth manifold of dimension m. Proof Since f : Rm Rp ! Rp is a smooth function, f is a continuous function. Since f : Rm Rp ! Rp is a continuous function, and {0} is a closed subset of Rp ; f 1 ð0Þ is closed subset of Rm Rp : Since Rm Rp is homeomorphic to Rmþp ; and Rmþp is Hausdorff and second countable space, Rm Rp is Hausdorff and second countable. Since Rm Rp is Hausdorff and second countable, and f 1 ð0Þ is a subspace of Rm Rp ; f 1 ð0Þ is Hausdorff and second countable. Let us take any ða; bÞ in f 1 ð0Þ: Since ða; bÞ is in f 1 ð0Þ; f ða; bÞ ¼ 0: By assumption, the rank of linear transformation f 0 ða; bÞ : Rm Rp ! Rp is p, and hence, ðf 0 ða; bÞÞ i2 : Rp !

Now, by Theorem 3.47, there exist an open neighborhood W1 of a in Rm and a function a : W1 ! f 1 ð0Þ such that (i) aðW1 Þ is an open neighborhood of ða; bÞ in f 1 ð0Þ; (ii) a is a homeomorphism from W1 onto aðW1 Þ; (iii) a; a1 are smooth functions.

Hence, aðW1 Þ is an open neighborhood of ða; bÞ in f 1 ð0Þ; and a1 : aðW1 Þ ! W1 is a diffeomorphism. This shows that f 1 ð0Þ is a smooth manifold of dimension m. h Deﬁnition Let N be a smooth manifold of dimension m þ p: Let M N: If for every x in M, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ in N satisfying x 2 U such that uU ðU \ M Þ ¼ ðuU ðUÞÞ \ ðRm f0gÞ then we say that M is a smooth m-submanifold of N. Theorem 3.49 Let N be a smooth manifold of dimension m þ p: Let M N: If M is a smooth m-submanifold of N, then M is a smooth manifold of dimension m. Proof Let us take any a in M. Since a is in M, and M is a smooth m-submanifold of N, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ in N satisfying a 2 U; and uU ðU \ M Þ ¼ ðuU ðUÞÞ \ ðRm f0gÞ: Since a is in M, and a 2 U; a is in U \ M. Since U is open in N, and M N; U \ M is open in M. Since a is in U \ M; and U \ M is open in M, U \ M is an open neighborhood of a in M. Since ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in the m þ p-dimensional smooth manifold N, uU ðUÞ is open in Rmþp ðﬃ ðRm Rp Þ ðRm f0gÞÞ; and hence, uU ðU \ MÞð¼ ðuU ðUÞÞ\ ðRm f0gÞÞ is open in Rm ðﬃ ðRm f0gÞÞ: Since ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N, uU is 1–1, and hence, the restriction uU jU\M of uU to U \ M; is 1–1. Thus, the restriction uU jU\M of uU to U \ M is a 1–1 mapping from the open neighborhood U \ M of a in M onto the open set uU ðU \ MÞ of Rm : Since ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N, uU is continuous, and hence, the restriction uU jU\M of uU to U \ M is continuous. Since ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N, ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U is continuous, and hence, the restriction ððuU Þ1 ÞjuU ðU\MÞ of ðuU Þ1 to uU ðU \ MÞð¼ ðuU ðUÞÞ \ ðRm f0gÞÞ is continuous. Further, since ðuU jU\M Þ1 ¼ ððuU Þ1 ÞjuU ðU\MÞ ; it follows that the inverse

function ðuU jU\M Þ1 is continuous. Thus, the ordered pair ðU \ M; uU jU\M Þ is a coordinate chart of M satisfying a 2 M: Next, let ðU \ M; uU jU\M Þ and ðV \ M; wV jV\M Þ be two coordinate charts of M, where ðU; uU Þ and ðV; wV Þ are admissible coordinate charts in N, and ðU \ MÞ \ ðV \ MÞ is nonempty. We have to prove that ðwV jV\M Þ ðuU jU\M Þ1 is smooth. Since ðU; uU Þand ðV; wV Þ are admissible coordinate charts in N, wV ðuU Þ1 is smooth, and hence, ðwV jV\M Þ ðuU jU\M Þ1 ð¼ ðwV ðuU Þ1 Þ jðU\MÞ\ðV\MÞ Þ is smooth. Hence, M is a smooth manifold of dimension m. h

Similarly, f ð4Þ ð0Þ ¼ 0; f 5 ð0Þ ¼ 0; etc. This completes the proof of (b). Thus, f : R ! R is a smooth function. Now, let us deﬁne a function g : R3 !

Since 2\ ða1 Þ2 þ ða2 Þ2 þ ða3 Þ2 ¼ jaj; there exists a real number e [ 0 such that the open ball Be ðaÞ contains no point of B2 ½0: Since Be ðaÞ is an open neighborhood of a, and a is in ðH 1 ðð0; 1ÞÞ ; there exists b in H 1 ðð0; 1Þ such that b is in Be ðaÞ: Since b is in H 1 ðð0; 1Þ; hðjbjÞ ¼ HðbÞ 2 ð0; 1: Since hðjbjÞ 2 ð0; 1; and hðtÞ ¼ 0 if and only if 2 t; jbj\2; and hence, b is in B2 ½0: Since b is in B2 ½0; and Be ðaÞ contains no point of B2 ½0; b is not in Be ðaÞ; a contradiction.

Fig. 3.1 F and K are disjoint

then we say that H is a smooth bump function corresponding to closed set F and open set G. By Note 3.52, there exists a smooth bump function corresponding to closed set B1 ½0 and open set B3 ð0Þ: Theorem 3.53 Let F be a nonempty closed subset of R3 ; and let K be a nonempty compact subset of R3 : If F and K are disjoint, then there exists a function r : R3 ! ½0; 1 such that 1. 2. 3. 4.

r is smooth, for every x in F; rðxÞ ¼ 0; for every x in K; rðxÞ ¼ 1; r is onto.

Proof Since F and K are disjoint, K F c where F c denotes the complement of F. Since F is a closed subset of R3 ; F c is an open set. Let us take any x in K. Since x 2 K F c ; x 2 F c : Since x 2 F c ; and F c is an open set, there exists a real number dx [ 0 such that x 2 B12dx ðxÞ F c : It follows that the collection fB12dx ðxÞ : x 2 Kg is an open cover of K. Further, since K is compact, there exist ﬁnite many x1 ; x2 ; . . .; xn in K such that K is contained in B12dx ðx1 Þ [ B12dx ðx2 Þ [ [ B12dxn ðxn Þ: 1 2 Since (see Fig. 3.1) B12dx ðx1 Þ F c ; B12dx ðx2 Þ F c ; . . .; B12dxn ðxn Þ F c ; 1

Now, let us deﬁne a function r : R3 ! ½0; 1 as follows: For every x in R3 ; rðxÞ 1 ðð1 h1 ðxÞÞð1 h2 ðxÞÞ ð1 hn ðxÞÞÞ: Since 0 h1 1, for every x in R3 ; 0 1 h1 ðxÞ 1: Similarly, for every x in R ; 0 1 h2 ðxÞ 1; . . .; 0 1 hn ðxÞ 1: Hence, for every x in R3 ; 0 ð1 h1 ðxÞÞð1 h2 ðxÞÞ ð1 hn ðxÞÞ 1: It follows that for every x in R3 ; 0 1 ðð1 h1 ðxÞÞð1 h2 ðxÞÞ ð1 hn ðxÞÞÞ 1: Thus, we have shown that r : R3 ! ½0; 1 is a well-deﬁned function. 3

1. Since each hi is smooth, r : x 7! 1 ðð1 h1 ðxÞÞð1 h2 ðxÞÞ ð1 hn ðxÞÞÞ is smooth. 2. Let us take any x in F. Since x is in F, and ðB12dx ðx1 Þ [ B12dx ðx2 Þ [ [ B12dxn ðxn ÞÞ F c ; x 62 ðB12dx ðx1 Þ [ B12dx ðx2 Þ [ [ 1 2 1 2 B12dxn ðxn ÞÞ; and hence, for every i ¼ 1; 2; . . .; n; we have x 62 B12dx ðxi Þ: Thus, i rðxÞ ¼ 1 ðð1 0Þð1 0Þ ð1 0ÞÞ ¼ 0: 3. Let us take any x in K. Since x is in K, and K is contained in B12dx ðx1 Þ [ 1 B12dx ðx2 Þ [ [ B12dxn ðxn Þ; there exists j 2 f1; 2; . . .; ng such that x 2 B12dx ðxj Þ: 2

j

For simplicity, let us take 1 for j. Now, since x 2 B12dx ðx1 Þ; h1 ðxÞ ¼ 1; and 1 hence, rðxÞ ¼ 1 ðð1 1Þð1 h2 ðxÞÞ ð1 hn ðxÞÞÞ ¼ 1: 4. Since F is nonempty, there exists a in F. Hence, rðaÞ ¼ 0: Thus, the function r assumes 0. Similarly, r assumes 1. Since r : R3 ! ½0; 1; and r is smooth, r is continuous. Since r : R3 ! ½0; 1 is continuous, r assumes 0, and r assumes 1, r assumes all values of ½0; 1: Hence, r : R3 ! ½0; 1 is onto. h

Note 3.54 The result similar to Theorem 3.53 can be proved as above for Rn in place of R3 : Theorem 3.55 Let a be in R3 : Let U be an open neighborhood of a in R3 : Let f : U ! R be any function. If f is smooth, then there exist an open neighborhood V of a and a function F : R3 ! R such that 1. 2. 3. 4.

V is contained in U, for every x in V, FðxÞ ¼ f ðxÞ; for every x 62 U; FðxÞ ¼ 0; F is smooth.

Proof Since U is an open neighborhood of a, there exists a real number e [ 0 such that Be ðaÞ U: Since Be=3 ½að fx : x 2 R3 ; jx aj 3e gÞ is a closed and bounded subset of R3 ; Be=3 ½a is compact. Since Be=3 ½a Be=2 ðaÞ; Be=3 ½a and R3 Be=2 ðaÞ

are disjoint sets. Since Be=2 ðaÞ is an open set, R3 Be=2 ðaÞ is a closed set. Now, by Theorem 3.53, there exists a function r : R3 ! ½0; 1 such that 1. 2. 3. 4.

r is smooth, for every x in R3 Be=2 ðaÞ; rðxÞ ¼ 0; for every x in Be=3 ½a; rðxÞ ¼ 1; r is onto.

Let us take Be=3 ðaÞ for V. Let us deﬁne a function F : R3 ! R as follows: For every x in R3 ;

1. Since V ¼ Be=3 ðaÞ Be ðaÞ U; V is contained in U. 2. For every x in V, we have x 2 V ¼ Be=3 ðaÞ Be=3 ½a Be ðaÞ U; and hence, FðxÞ ¼ f ðxÞrðxÞ ¼ f ðxÞ1 ¼ f ðxÞ: 3. Let us take any x 62 U: Hence, by the deﬁnition of F, we have FðxÞ ¼ 0: 4. Since f and r both are smooth on the open set U, their product x 7! f ðxÞrðxÞ is smooth on U. Further, for x 2 U, we have FðxÞ ¼ f ðxÞrðxÞ; so F is smooth over U. Since for every x in U Be=2 ðaÞ; we have FðxÞ ¼ f ðxÞrðxÞ ¼ f ðxÞ0 ¼ 0: Hence, by 3, for every x in R3 Be=2 ðaÞ; FðxÞ ¼ 0: This shows that F is smooth over the open set R3 Be=2 ½a: Since F is smooth over the open set U, and F is smooth over the open set R3 Be=2 ½a; F is smooth over the open set U [ ðR3 Be=2 ½aÞð¼ R3 Þ: Thus, F : R3 ! R is a smooth function. h Note 3.56 The result similar to Theorem 3.55 can be proved as above for Rn in place of R3 :

Topological Properties of Smooth Manifolds

In real analysis, its deep theorems (like Lagrange’s mean value theorem, fundamental theorem of integral calculus, etc.) are quite difﬁcult to prove without the help of topological theorems (like Weierstrass theorem, Heine–Borel theorem, etc.) for real line. Similar is the situation in complex analysis. Here, in the study of smooth manifolds, in order to prove its deep rooted theorems, we will need its topological properties vigorously. So, for smoothening later work, it is better to collect all the results, to be needed in future, relating to topological properties of smooth manifolds at one place.

Proof We want to apply Theorem 3.36. Since f is a smooth function, f is a C 1 function. Since 2 3 ðD1 f 1 ÞðaÞ ðD2 f 1 ÞðaÞ ðD3 f 1 ÞðaÞ det4 ðD1 f 2 ÞðaÞ ðD2 f 2 ÞðaÞ ðD3 f 2 ÞðaÞ 5 6¼ 0; ðD1 f 3 ÞðaÞ ðD2 f 3 ÞðaÞ ðD3 f 3 ÞðaÞ 33 2

exists, and hence, f 0 ðaÞ is invertible. Hence, by the Theorem 3.36, there exists a connected open neighborhood U of a such that 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

U is contained in E, f is 1–1 on U (that is, if x, y are in U, and f ðxÞ ¼ f ðyÞ; then x = y), f ðUÞ is connected and open in R3 ; the 1–1 function f 1 from f ðUÞ onto U is a C 1 function, if f is a C2 function, then f 1 from f ðUÞ onto U is a C 2 function, etc.

By the conclusions 1, 2, 3, and 4, we ﬁnd the f 1 is a C 1 function on f ðUÞ: Now, it remains to prove that f 1 is smooth on f ðUÞ; that is, f 1 is a Cn function for every n ¼ 2; 3; 4; . . .: Since f is a smooth function, f is a C 2 function, and hence by conclusion 5, f 1 is a C 2 function. Again, since f is a smooth function, f is a C 3 function, and hence by conclusion 5, f 1 is a C3 function, etc. Hence, h f 1 is smooth on f ðUÞ: Note 4.2 The result similar to Theorem 4.1 can be proved as above for Rn in place of R3 : Theorem 4.3 Let E be an open subset of R3 : Let f : E ! R3 : Let a be in E. If (i) f is a smooth function, (ii) the tangent map f of f at a is an isomorphism, then there exists an open neighborhood U of a, and an open neighborhood V of f ðaÞ such that the restriction of f to U is a diffeomorphism from U onto V. Proof By the Note 2.77, the tangent map f of f at a is an isomorphism if and only if 2 3 ðD1 f 1 ÞðaÞ ðD2 f 1 ÞðaÞ ðD3 f 1 ÞðaÞ det4 ðD1 f 2 ÞðaÞ ðD2 f 2 ÞðaÞ ðD3 f 2 ÞðaÞ 5 6¼ 0: ðD1 f 3 ÞðaÞ ðD2 f 3 ÞðaÞ ðD3 f 3 ÞðaÞ

This shows that we can apply Theorem 4.1. By Theorem 4.1, there exists an open neighborhood U of a such that 1. U is contained in E, 2. f ðUÞ is open in R3 ; 3. f has a smooth inverse on f ðUÞ: This shows that f ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of f ðaÞ such that the restriction of f to U is a diffeomorphism from U onto f ðUÞ: h Note 4.4 The result similar to Theorem 4.3 can be proved as above for Rn in place of R3 : Theorem 4.5 Let M and N be 3-dimensional smooth manifolds. Let f : M ! N: Let p be in M. If (i) f is a smooth map, (ii) the tangent map f : Tp ðMÞ ! Tf ðpÞ ðNÞ is an isomorphism, then there exists an open neighborhood U of p in M such that 1. V f ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of f ðpÞ in N, 2. the restriction of f to U is a diffeomorphism from U onto V. Proof Here, p is in M, and f : M ! N; so f ðpÞ is in N. Since f ðpÞ is in N, and N is a 3-dimensional smooth manifold, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðV; wV Þ in N satisfying f ðpÞ 2 V: Since f : M ! N is a smooth map, f : M ! N is a continuous map. Since f : M ! N is a continuous map, and V is an open neighborhood of FðpÞ; there exists an open neighborhood U1 of p in M such that f ðU1 Þ is contained in V. Here, p is in M, and M is a 3-dimensional smooth manifold, so there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ in M satisfying p 2 U: Since U and U1 are open neighborhoods of p in M, their intersection U \ U1 is an open neighborhood of p in M. Since uU is a homeomorphism from open set U onto open set uU ðUÞ; and U \ U1 is an open set, uU ðU \ U1 Þ is an open set. Here f : M ! N is a smooth map, ðuU Þ1 is a smooth map, and wV is a smooth map, so their composite wV ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ is a smooth function on the open neighborhood uU ðU \ U1 Þ of uU ðpÞ in R3 : We want to apply Theorem 4.1 on the function wV ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ: Since the tangent map f : Tp ðMÞ ! Tf ðpÞ ðNÞ is an isomorphism so, by the Note 2.77,

and hence, the determinant of the Jacobian matrix of wV ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ at uU ðpÞ is nonzero. Hence, by Theorem 4.1, there exists an open neighborhood W of uU ðpÞ such that 1. W is contained in uU ðU \ U1 Þ; 2. ðwV ðf ðuU Þ1 ÞÞðWÞ is open in R3 ; 3. wV ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ has a smooth inverse on ðwV ðf ðuU Þ1 ÞÞðWÞ: Since W is contained in uU ðU \ U1 Þ; and uU is 1–1, ðuU Þ1 ðWÞ is contained in U \ U1 : Since uU ðpÞ is in W, p is in ðuU Þ1 ðWÞ: Since uU is a homeomorphism, and W is an open subset of open set uU ðUÞ; ðuU Þ1 ðWÞ is open. Thus, ðuU Þ1 ðWÞ is an open neighborhood of p in M. For 1: We have to prove that f ððuU Þ1 ðWÞÞ is open in N. Since ðwV ðf ðuU Þ1 ÞÞðWÞ is open, and wV is a homeomorphism, ðwV Þ1 ððwV ðf ðuU Þ1 ÞÞ ðWÞÞð¼ f ððuU Þ1 ðWÞÞÞ is open. For 2: Since wV ðf ðuU Þ1 Þ is 1–1, ðwV Þ1 is 1–1 and uU is 1–1, their composite ðwV Þ1 ðwV ðf ðuU Þ1 ÞÞ uU ð¼ f Þ is 1–1. Since f is 1–1, the function f 1 exists. It remains to prove that f 1 is smooth. Since ðwV ðf ðuU Þ1 ÞÞ1 ð¼ uU f 1 ðwV Þ1 Þ is smooth, ðuU Þ1 is smooth, and wV is smooth, their composite function ðuU Þ1 ðuU f 1 ðwV Þ1 Þ wV ð¼ f 1 Þ is smooth. h Note 4.6 The result similar to Theorem 4.5 can be proved as above for Rn in place of R3 : Theorem 4.7 Let M be an m-dimensional differentiable manifold, N be an ndimensional smooth manifold, and F : N !

In light of the above theorem, the following deﬁnition is well deﬁned: Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : N ! M be a smooth function. Let p be in N. Since F : N ! M is a smooth function, there exist an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ in N satisfying p 2 U; and an admissible coordinate chart ðV; wV Þ in M satisfying FðpÞ 2 V; such that FðUÞ V; and wV ðF ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ ! wV ðVÞ is C 1 at the point uU ðpÞ in R3 : Hence, the linear transformation ðwV F ðuU Þ1 Þ0 ðuU ðpÞÞ from Rn to Rm exists. The rank of ðwV F ðuU Þ1 Þ0 ðuU ðpÞÞ is called the rank of F at p. Since rankððwV F ðuU Þ1 Þ0 ðuU ðpÞÞÞ minfm; ng; the rank of F at p is less than or equal to minfm; ng: Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional differentiable manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : N ! M be a smooth function. Let k be any nonnegative integer. By F has rank k, we mean that k is the rank of F at every point of N. Theorem 4.8 Let N be a 4-dimensional smooth manifold, M be a 3-dimensional smooth manifold, F : M ! N be a smooth map, and 2 be the rank of F. Let p be in M. Then, there exist admissible coordinate chart ðU ; uU Þ in M satisfying p 2 U ; and admissible coordinate chart ðV ; wV Þ in N satisfying FðpÞ 2 V ; such that FðU Þ V ; and for every ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ in uU ðU Þ; wV F ðuU Þ1 ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ ðx1 ; x2 ; 0; 0Þ: Proof Since p is in M, and F : M !

Now, we want to apply Theorem 3.59. Here, uU ðUÞ acts for A0 ; uU ðpÞ acts for a, wV ðVÞ acts for B0, wV ðFðpÞÞ acts for b, wV ðF ðuU Þ1 Þ acts for F. Now, we must verify the following conditions of the theorem: uU ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of uU ðpÞ in R3 ; wV ðVÞ is an open neighborhood of wV ðFðpÞÞ in R4 ; wV ðF ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðUÞ ! wV ðVÞ is a C 1 function, for every x in uU ðUÞ; the linear transformation ðwV ðF ðuU Þ1 ÞÞ0 ðxÞ has rank 2, 5. ðwV ðF ðuU Þ1 ÞÞðuU ðpÞÞ ¼ wV ðFðpÞÞ:

For 1: Since ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in M satisfying p 2 U; uU ðUÞ is an open neighborhood of uU ðpÞ in R3 : For 2: Since ðV; wV Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N satisfying FðpÞ 2 V; wV ðVÞ is an open neighborhood of wV ðFðpÞÞ in R4 : For 3: Since F : M !

For 4: Let us take any uU ðqÞ in uU ðUÞ where q is in U. We have to prove that the rank of ðwV F ðuU Þ1 Þ0 ðuU ðqÞÞ is 2. Since 2 is the rank of F : M !

This theorem is also known as the constant rank theorem. Lemma 4.10 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let ðU; uU Þ be an admissible coordinate chart of M. Let V be a nonempty open subset of U. Then, ðV; wV Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M, where wV denotes the restriction of uU on V. Proof Here, we must prove: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

V is open, wV ðVÞ is open, wV : V ! wV ðVÞ is 1–1 onto, wV is continuous, ðwV Þ1 is continuous, if ðW; vW Þ is an admissible wV ðW \ VÞ ! vW ðW \ VÞ is a 7. if ðW; vW Þ is an admissible vW ðW \ VÞ ! wV ðW \ VÞ is a

coordinate chart of M, then vW ðwV Þ1 : smooth function, coordinate chart of M, then wV ðvW Þ1 : smooth function.

For (1): It is given. For (2): Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, uU ðUÞ is open in R4 ; and uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is an open mapping. Since uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is an open mapping, and V is a nonempty open subset of U, uU ðVÞ is an open subset of the open set uU ðUÞ; and hence, uU ðVÞ is an open set. Since uU ðVÞ is an open set, and wV is the restriction of uU on V, wV ðVÞ is an open set. For (3): Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is 1–1. Since uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is 1–1, and wV is the restriction of φU on V, wV : V ! wV ðVÞ is 1–1. Further, clearly wV : V ! wV ðVÞ is onto. For (4): Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, uU : U ! uU ðUÞ is continuous, and hence, its restriction wV : V ! wV ðVÞ is continuous.

For (5): Since V is contained in U, uU ðVÞð¼ wV ðVÞÞ is contained in uU ðUÞ: Since ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart of M, ðuU Þ1 : uU ðUÞ ! U is continuous, and hence, its restriction ðuU Þ1 jwV ðVÞ ð¼ ðwV Þ1 Þ is continuous. For (6): Let us take any admissible coordinate chart ðW; vW Þ of M. We shall try to prove that vW ðwV Þ1 : wV ðW \ VÞ ! vW ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function. Since ðW; vW Þ; and ðU; uU Þ are admissible coordinate charts of M, vW ðuU Þ1 : uU ðW \ UÞ ! vW ðW \ UÞ is a smooth function. Since V is contained in U, W \ U; is contained in W \ U; and hence, uU ðW \ VÞ is contained in uU ðW \ UÞ: Since wV is the restriction of uU : U ! uU ðUÞ on V, and W \ V is contained in V, wV ðW \ VÞ ¼ uU ðW \ VÞ: Since wV ðW \ VÞ ¼ uU ðW \ VÞ; and uU ðW \ VÞ is contained in uU ðW \ UÞ; wV ðW \ VÞ is contained in uU ðW \ UÞ: Since wV ðW \ VÞ is contained in uU ðW \ UÞ; and vW ðuU Þ1 : uU ðW \ UÞ ! vW ðW \ UÞ is a smooth function, the restriction of vW ðuU Þ1 to wV ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function.

Since the restriction of vW ðuU Þ1 to wV ðW \ VÞ; and vW ðwV Þ1 : wV ðW \ VÞ ! vW ðW \ VÞ are the same functions, and the restriction of vW ðuU Þ1 to wV ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function, vW ðwV Þ1 : wV ðW \ VÞ ! vW ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function. For (7): Let us take any admissible coordinate chart ðW; vW Þ of M. We shall try to prove that wV ðvW Þ1 : vW ðW \ VÞ ! wV ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function. Since ðW; vW Þ; and ðU; uU Þ are admissible coordinate charts of M, uU ðvW Þ1 : vW ðW \ UÞ ! uU ðW \ UÞ is a smooth function. Since V is contained in U, W \ V is contained in W \ U; and hence, vW ðW \ VÞ is contained in vW ðW \ UÞ: Since vW ðW \ VÞ is contained in vW ðW \ UÞ; and uU ðvW Þ1 : vW ðW \ UÞ ! uU ðW \ UÞ is a smooth function, the restriction of uU ðvW Þ1 to vW ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function. If vW ðxÞ 2 vW ðW \ VÞ; where x 2 W \ Vð VÞ; then uU ðxÞ ¼ wV ðxÞ; and hence, ðuU ðvW Þ1 ÞðvW ðxÞÞ ¼ uU ðxÞ ¼ wV ðxÞ ¼ ðwV ðvW Þ1 ÞðvW ðxÞÞ: It follows that restriction of uU ðvW Þ1 to vW ðW \ VÞ; and wV ðvW Þ1 : vW ðW \ VÞ ! wV ðW \ VÞ are the same the functions. Since the restriction of uU ðvW Þ1 to vW ðW \ VÞ; and the function wV ðvW Þ1 : vW ðW \ VÞ ! wV ðW \ VÞ are the same, and the restriction of uU ðvW Þ1 to vW ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function, h wV ðvW Þ1 : vW ðW \ VÞ ! wV ðW \ VÞ is a smooth function.

Theorem 4.12 Let N be a 4-dimensional smooth manifold, M be a 3-dimensional smooth manifold, F : M ! N be a smooth function, and 2 be the rank of F. Let p be in M. Then, there exist admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ in M satisfying p 2 U; and admissible coordinate chart ðV; wV Þ in N satisfying FðpÞ 2 V such that uU ðpÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0Þ; wV ðFðpÞÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0; 0Þ and for every ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ in uU ðUÞ;

wV F ðuU Þ1 ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ ðx1 ; x2 ; 0; 0Þ:

Further, we may assume uU ðUÞ ¼ ðe; eÞ ðe; eÞ ðe; eÞ, and wV ðVÞ ¼ ðe; eÞ ðe; eÞ ðe; eÞ ðe; eÞ for some e [ 0: In short, uU ðUÞ ¼ Ce3 ð0Þ; and wV ðVÞ ¼ Ce4 ð0Þ for some e [ 0: Proof By Theorem 4.8, there exist admissible coordinate chart ðU ; uU Þ in M satisfying p 2 U ; and admissible coordinate chart ðV ; wV Þ in N satisfying FðpÞ 2 V such that for every ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ in uU ðU Þ; wV F ðuU Þ1 ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ ðx1 ; x2 ; 0; 0Þ: Put U U ; uU uU uU ðpÞ; V V ; wV wV ððuU ðpÞÞ1 ; ðuU ðpÞÞ2 ; 0; 0Þ: It remains to prove: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v)

ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N satisfying p 2 U; ðV; wV Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in M satisfying FðpÞ 2 V; uU ðpÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0Þ; for every ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ in uU ðUÞ; ðwV F ðuU Þ1 Þðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ ðx1 ; x2 ; 0; 0Þ; wV ðFðpÞÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0; 0Þ:

For (i): Since ðU ; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N satisfying p 2 U , U ð¼ UÞ is an open neighborhood of p, and hence, U is an open neighborhood of p. Since ðU ; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in N, uU ðU Þ is open in R3 : Now, since U ¼ U ; uU ðUÞ is open in R3 ; and hence, ðuU þ uU ðpÞÞ ðUÞð¼ uU ðUÞ þ uU ðpÞÞ is open in R3 : Since uU ðUÞ þ uU ðpÞ is open in R3 ; uU ðUÞ is open in R3 : Since ðU ; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart in M,

uU : U ! uU ðU Þ is a homeomorphism. Since uU : U ! uU ðU Þ is a homeomorphism, and the translation TuU ð pÞ : uU ðU Þ ! ðuU ðU Þ uU ð pÞÞ is a homeomorphism, their composite ðuU ¼ÞTuU ð pÞ uU : U ð¼ U Þ ! ðuU ðU Þ uU ð pÞÞð¼ ðuU uU ð pÞÞðU Þ¼ uU ðU ÞÞ

is a homeomorphism. Thus, we have shown that ðU; uU Þ is a coordinate chart in M satisfying p 2 U: Next, let ðW; vW Þ be an admissible coordinate chart in M such that U \ W is nonempty. Now, we have to prove that vW ðuU Þ1 ; and uU ðvW Þ1 are C1 : Here, 1 vW ðuU Þ1 ¼ vW ðuU uU ð pÞÞ1 ¼ vW TuU ð pÞ uU ¼ vW ðuU Þ1 TuU ð pÞ ¼ vW ðuU Þ1 TuU ð pÞ ; so vW ðuU Þ1 ¼ ðvW ðuU Þ1 Þ TuU ðpÞ : Since ðW; vW Þ; and ðU ; uU Þ are

admissible coordinate charts in M, vW ðuU Þ1 is C 1 . Since vW ðuU Þ1 is C1 ; and translation TuU ðpÞ is C1 , their composite ðvW ðuU Þ1 Þ TuU ðpÞ ð¼ vW ðuU Þ1 Þ is C1 , and hence, vW ðuU Þ1 is C1 . Similarly, uU ðvW Þ1 is C1 :

For (ii): Its proof is similar to that of (i). For (iii): uU ðpÞ ¼ ðuU uU ðpÞÞðpÞ ¼ uU ðpÞ uU ðpÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0Þ: Thus uU ðpÞ ¼ ð0; 0; 0Þ: For (iv): Let us take any ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ in uU ðUÞ: We have to prove that ðwV F ðuU Þ1 Þðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ ðx1 ; x2 ; 0; 0Þ: Here, ðuU Þ1 ¼ ðuU uU ðpÞÞ1 ¼ ðTuU ðpÞ uU Þ1 ¼ ðuU Þ1 TuU ðpÞ : Since uU ¼ uU uU ðpÞ; uU ðUÞ ¼ uU ðUÞ uU ðpÞ ¼ uU ðU Þ uU ðpÞ: Now, since ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ is in uU ðUÞ; ðx1 þ ðuU ðpÞÞ1 ; x2 þ ðuU ðpÞÞ2 ; x3 þ ðuU ðpÞÞ3 Þ is in uU ðU Þ; and hence,

Lemma 4.14 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : N ! M be a 1–1 smooth function. Let O1 be the topology of N. Let A1 be the differential structure on N. Put O fFðGÞ : G 2 O1 g and A fðFðUÞ; uU F 1 Þ : ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 g: Then, I. O is a topology over FðNÞ; II. A determines a unique differential structure on FðNÞ, and III. F is a diffeomorphism from N onto FðNÞ: Proof of I (i) Since / 2 O1 ; Fð/Þð¼ /Þ is in O; and hence, / 2 O: Next, since N 2 O1 ; so FðNÞis in O: (ii) Let FðGÞ 2 O; where G 2 O1 : Let FðHÞ 2 O; where H 2 O1 : We have to prove that FðGÞ \ FðHÞ 2 O: Since G 2 O1 ; H 2 O1 ; and O1 is a topology, G \ H 2 O1 ; and hence, FðG \ HÞ 2 O: Since F : N ! M is 1–1, FðG \ HÞ ¼ FðGÞ \ FðHÞ: Since FðG \ HÞ ¼ FðGÞ \ FðHÞ; and FðG \ HÞ 2 O; FðGÞ \ FðHÞ 2 O: (iii) Let FðGi Þ 2 O; where Gi 2 O1 for every index i in index set I. We have to prove that [i2I FðGi Þ 2 O: Since for every index i, Gi 2 O1 ; and O1 is a topology, [i2I Gi 2 O1 ; and hence, Fð[i2I Gi Þð¼ [i2I FðGi ÞÞ 2 O: Thus, h [i2I FðGi Þ 2 O: Hence, O is a topology over FðNÞ: Proof of II It is clear that F is a homeomorphism from topological space ðN; O1 Þ onto topological space ðFðNÞ; OÞ: Since N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and O1 is the topology of N, ðN; O1 Þ is a Hausdorff topological space. Since ðN; O1 Þ is a Hausdorff topological space, and ðN; O1 Þ is homeomorphic onto topological space ðFðNÞ; OÞ; ðFðNÞ; OÞ is a Hausdorff topological space. Since N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and O1 is the topology of N, ðN; O1 Þ is a second countable space. Since ðN; O1 Þ is a second countable space, and ðN; O1 Þ is homeomorphic onto topological space ðFðNÞ; OÞ; ðFðNÞ; OÞ is a second countable space. We want to prove that ðFðNÞ; OÞ is an n-dimensional topological manifold. For this purpose, let us take any FðxÞ in FðNÞ; where x is in N. Since x is in N, and A1 is a differential structure on N, there exists ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 such that x 2 U: It follows

that FðxÞ 2 FðUÞ: Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 ; ðFðUÞ; uU F 1 Þ 2 A: It remains to prove: (a) FðUÞ 2 O; (b) ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞ is an open subset of Rn ; (c) uU F 1 is a homeomorphism from FðUÞ (relative to topology O) onto ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞ. For (a): Here, ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 ; and A1 is a differential structure on N, U 2 O1 ; and hence, FðUÞ 2 O: For (b): Here, U 2 O1 ; and O1 is the topology of N, U is contained in N. Since U is contained in N, F is 1–1, ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞ ¼ uU ðUÞ: Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 ; and A1 is a differential structure on N, uU ðUÞð¼ ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞÞ is open in Rn : Hence, ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞ is an open subset of Rn : For (c): Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 ; uU is 1–1. Since uU is 1–1, and F is 1–1, the composite uU F 1 is 1–1. Thus, uU F 1 : FðUÞ ! ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞ is a 1–1 onto function. Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A1 ; uU is a homeomorphism from U onto uU ðUÞ: Since F is a homeomorphism from topological space ðN; O1 Þ onto topological space ðFðNÞ; OÞ; F 1 is a homeomorphism from topological space ðFðNÞ; OÞ onto topological space ðN; O1 Þ, and hence, the restriction of F 1 on FðUÞ (relative to topology OÞ is a homeomorphism from FðUÞ onto U. It follows that uU F 1 is a homeomorphism from FðUÞ (relative to topology O) onto uU ðUÞð¼ ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞÞÞ: Thus, we have shown that ðFðNÞ; OÞ is an n-dimensional topological manifold. Now we want to prove: All pairs of members in A are C 1 -compatible. For this purpose, let us take any ðFðUÞ; uU F 1 Þ 2 A, where ðU; uU Þ is in A1 ; and ðFðVÞ; wV F 1 Þ 2 A where ðV; wV Þ is in A1 satisfying FðUÞ \ FðVÞ is nonempty. Since F is 1–1, FðUÞ \ FðVÞ ¼ FðU \ VÞ: Since FðUÞ \ FðVÞ ¼ FðU \ VÞ; and FðUÞ \ FðVÞ is nonempty, FðU \ VÞis nonempty, and hence, U \ V is nonempty. Since U \ V is nonempty, A1 is a differential structure on N, ðU; uU Þ is in A1 ; and ðV; wV Þ is in A1 ; ðU; uU Þ and ðV; wV Þ are C1 -compatible, that is, ðwV ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðU \ VÞ ! uV ðU \ VÞ is a smooth function. We have to show that ðFðUÞ; uU F 1 Þ and ðFðVÞ; wV F 1 Þ are C1 -compatible, that is, ððwV F 1 Þ ðuU F 1 Þ1 Þ : ðuU F 1 ÞðFðUÞ \ FðVÞÞ ! ðwV F 1 Þ ðFðUÞ \ FðVÞÞ is a smooth function, that is, ðwV F 1 Þ ðF ðuU Þ1 Þ : ðuU F 1 ÞðFðU \ VÞÞ ! ðwV F 1 ÞðFðU \ VÞÞ is a smooth function, that is, ðwV ðuU Þ1 Þ : uU ðU \ VÞ ! wV ðU \ VÞ is a smooth function. This has already been shown. Thus, we have shown that A determines a unique differentiable structure on FðNÞ that contains A: In short, FðNÞ is an n-dimensional smooth manifold. h Proof of III Now, we want to prove that F is a diffeomorphism from N onto FðNÞ: For this purpose, let us take any p in N. We have to prove that F is C1 at p. Now let us take any admissible coordinate chart ðU; uU Þ of N satisfying p 2 U; an

admissible coordinate chart ðFðVÞ; wV F 1 Þ of FðNÞ satisfying FðpÞ 2 FðVÞ where ðV; wV Þ is in A1 : Since F is 1–1, and FðpÞ 2 FðVÞ; p 2 V: Since p 2 U; and p 2 V; p 2 U \ V; and hence, U \ V is nonempty. We shall try to prove that ðwV F 1 Þ F ðuU Þ1 is C 1 at uU ðpÞ. Since ðU; uU Þ is in A1 ; ðV; wV Þ is in A1 ; and U \ V is nonempty, wV ðuU Þ1 ð¼ ðwV F 1 Þ F ðuU Þ1 Þ is C 1 at uU ðpÞ: Thus ðwV F 1 Þ F ðuU Þ1 is C 1 at uU ðpÞ: Thus F is C1 : Similarly, F 1 is C 1 : This proves that F is a diffeomorphism from N onto FðNÞ: h

4.2 Lie Groups Deﬁnition Let G be an n-dimensional smooth manifold that is also a group. Let m : G G ! G be the mapping deﬁned as follows: for every g, h in G, mðg; hÞ gh: Let i : G ! G be the mapping deﬁned as follows: for every g in G, iðgÞ g1 : If m is a smooth map from 2n-dimensional product manifold G × G to ndimensional smooth manifold G, and i is a smooth map from n-dimensional smooth manifold G to itself, then we say that G is a Lie group. Here, m is the binary operation of the group G and is smooth. Further, i is the (algebraic) inverse mapping of the group G, which is smooth. Since smooth mappings are continuous mappings, and m, i are smooth mappings, m, i are continuous mappings. Since the binary operation m of group G is continuous, and the inverse mapping i of the group G is continuous, G is a topological group. Thus, every Lie group is also a topological group. Note 4.15 Let G be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let a be in G. Let us deﬁne a mapping F : M !

Thus, we have shown that F is a smooth mapping, that is, h 7! ða; hÞ is a smooth mapping. Similarly, h 7! ðh; aÞ is a smooth mapping. Note 4.16 Let G; H; K be smooth manifolds. Let f : H !

Similarly, ðr; s; t; uÞ 7! p4 ðððuU wV~ Þ ðF ðuU wV Þ1 ÞÞ ðr; s; t; uÞÞ is a smooth function. Thus, we have shown that F is a smooth mapping. In short, if y 7! f ðyÞ is smooth map, then ðx; yÞ 7! ðx; f ðyÞÞ is smooth. Similarly, if x 7! f ðxÞ is a smooth map, then ðx; yÞ 7! ðf ðxÞ; yÞ is smooth. Lemma 4.17 Let G be a Lie group. Let a be in G. Then, the mapping F : y 7! ay is a smooth mapping from smooth manifold G to itself. The mapping F is denoted by La and is called the left translation by a. Thus, for every y 2 G; La ðyÞ ¼ ay: Observe that La : G ! G is a 1–1, onto mapping, and ðLa Þ1 ¼ La1 : Now, since La ; La1 ð¼ ðLa Þ1 Þ are smooth, La is a diffeomorphism. Proof Since G is a Lie group, G is a smooth manifold. Hence y 7! ða; yÞ is a smooth map. Since G is a Lie group, ðx; yÞ 7! xy is a smooth map. Since y 7! ða; yÞ is a smooth map, and ðx; yÞ 7! xy is a smooth map, their composite map y 7! ay is a smooth map. h Note 4.18 Let G be a Lie group. Let a be in G. Then, as above, it can be shown that the mapping F : x 7! xa is a smooth mapping from smooth manifold G to itself. The mapping F is denoted by Ra and is called the right translation by a. Thus, for every x 2 G; Ra ðyÞ ¼ ya: Observe that Ra : G ! G is a 1–1, onto mapping, and ðRa Þ1 ¼ Ra1 : Now, since Ra ; Ra1 ð¼ ðRa Þ1 Þ are smooth, Ra is a diffeomorphism. Lemma 4.19 Let G be an n-dimensional smooth manifold that is also a group. If ðg; hÞ 7! gh1 is a smooth mapping from 2n-dimensional product manifold G × G to n-dimensional smooth manifold G, then G is a Lie group. Proof For simplicity, let n = 2. Next, let e be the identity element of the group. Let us deﬁne a mapping m : G G ! G as follows: for every g; h in G,

mðg; hÞ gh: Let us deﬁne a mapping i : G ! G as follows: for every g in G, iðgÞ g1 : We have to show that (i) i is smooth, (ii) m is smooth. For (i): Since h 7! ðe; hÞ is a smooth mapping, and ðg; hÞ 7! gh1 is a smooth mapping, their composite h 7! eh1 ¼ h1 ¼ iðhÞ is a smooth mapping, and hence, i is a smooth mapping. For (ii): Since h 7! h1 is a smooth mapping, ðg; hÞ 7! ðg; h1 Þ is a smooth mapping. Since ðg; hÞ 7! ðg; h1 Þ is a smooth mapping, and ðg; hÞ 7! gh1 is a smooth mapping, their composite ðg; hÞ 7! gðh1 Þ1 ¼ gh ¼ mðghÞ is a smooth mapping, and hence, m is a smooth mapping. h Note 4.20 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, whose topology is O; and differential structure is A: Let G be a nonempty open subset of M. Let O1 be the induced topology over G, that is, O1 ¼ fG1 : G1 G; and G1 2 Og: Put AG fðU; uU Þ : ðU; uU Þ 2 A; and U Gg: Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a Hausdorff space. Since M is a Hausdorff space, and G is a subspace of M, G with the induced topology is a Hausdorff space. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a second countable space. Since M is a second countable space, and G is a subspace of M, G with the induced topology is a second countable space. Now, we shall try to show that AG is an atlas on G that is, 1. [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in AG g ¼ G; 2. all pairs of members in AG are C 1 -compatible. For (1): By the deﬁnition of AG ; it is clear that [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in AG g G: So, it remains to prove that G [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in AG g: For this purpose, let us take any p in G. Since p is in G, and G is a subset of M, p is in M. Since p is in M, and M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, there exists ðU; uU Þ in A such that p is in U. Since ðU; uU Þ is in A; U is an open subset of M. Since U is open, and G is open, U \ G is open. Thus, U \ G is an open neighborhood of p.

We shall try to show that ðU \ G; uU jðU\GÞ Þ is in AG ; that is, ðU \ G; uU jðU\GÞ Þ 2 A; and U \ G G. Since U \ G G; it remains to show that ðU \ G; uU jðU\GÞ Þ 2 A: Since ðU; uU Þ is in A; ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M. Now, since U \ G is a nonempty open subset of U, by the Lemma 4.10, ðU \ G; uU jðU\GÞ Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M, and hence, ðU \ G; uU jðU\GÞ Þ 2 A: For (2): Let us take any ðU; uU Þ; ðV; wV Þ 2 AG : We have to show that ðU; uU Þ andðV; wV Þ are C 1 -compatible. Since ðU; uU Þ 2 AG , by the deﬁnition of AG ; ðU; uU Þ 2 A: Similarly ðV; wV Þ 2 A: Since ðU; uU Þ 2 A; ðV; wV Þ 2 A; and A is a differential structure, ðU; uU Þ and ðV; wV Þ are C 1 -compatible. Thus, we have shown that AG is an atlas on G. Hence, AG determines a unique smooth structure on G. Thus, the open subset G of smooth manifold M becomes an mdimensional smooth manifold. Here, G is called an open submanifold of M. Example 4.21 Let Mð2 3; RÞ be the collection of all 2 × 3 matrices with real entries, that is, Mð2 3; RÞ

We deﬁne addition of matrices as follows:

a c þ 1 f d1

b1 e1

c1 f1

a þ a1 d þ d1

b þ b1 e þ e1

c þ c1 : f þ f1

Clearly, Mð2 3; RÞ is a commutative group under addition as binary operation. We deﬁne scalar multiplication of matrix as follows:

Clearly, Mð2 3; RÞ becomes a real linear space of dimension ð2 3Þ: Here, one of the basis of Mð2 3; RÞ is

The n2 -dimensional smooth manifold Mðn n; RÞ is denoted by Mðn; RÞ: The 2n2 -dimensional smooth manifold Mðn n; CÞ is denoted by Mðn; CÞ: Let GLð2; RÞ be the collection of all invertible 2 2 matrices with real entries, that is,

x1 x 2 x1 x2 GLð2; RÞ : 2 Mð2; RÞ andx1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0 : x3 x4 x3 x4 x x It is clear that ½ 1 2 7! ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ is in 1–1 correspondence from x3 x4 GLð2; RÞ onto fðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ : ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 2 R4 and x1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0g: Let us deﬁne a function f : R4 ! R as follows: for every ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ in R4 f ð x1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ x1 x4 x2 x3 : We shall try to show that f is a continuous function. Since ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x1 ; and ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x4 are continuous functions, ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! ðx1 ; x4 Þ is continuous. Since ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! ðx1 ; x4 Þ is continuous, and the multiplication operation ðx1 ; x4 Þ 7! x1 x4 is continuous, their composite function ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x1 x4 is continuous. Similarly, ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x2 x3 is continuous. Since ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x1 x4 is continuous, and ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x2 x3 is continuous, ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! ðx1 x4 ; x2 x3 Þ is continuous. Since ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! ðx1 x4 ; x2 x3 Þ is continuous, and the difference operation ðy; zÞ 7! y z is continuous, their composite function ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 7! x1 x4 x2 x3 ¼ f ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ is continuous, and hence, f is a continuous function. Since f0g is a closed subset of R; R f0g is an open subset of R: Since R f0g is an open subset of R; and f : R4 ! R is a continuous function, f 1 ðR f0gÞ ð¼ fðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ : ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 2 R4 and x1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0gÞ is an open subset of R4 ; and hence, fðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ : ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 2 R4 and x1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0g is an open subset of R4 : Since fðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ : ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 2 R4 and x1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0g is an x x open subset of R4 ; and ½ 1 2 7! ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ is in 1–1 correspondence from x3 x4 GLð2; RÞ onto fðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ : ðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 Þ 2 R4 and x1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0g; GLð2; RÞ

Clearly, fðGLð2; RÞ; IdGLð2;RÞ Þg is an atlas of GLð2; RÞ: This shows that ðGLð2; RÞ GLð2; RÞ; ðIdGLð2;RÞ IdGLð2;RÞ ÞÞ is an admissible coordinate chart of the product manifold GLð2; RÞ GLð2; RÞ: Since, for every

GLðn; RÞ is a n2 -dimensional Lie group. GLðn; RÞ is known as the general linear group. As above, it can be shown that GLðn; CÞ is a 2n2 -dimensional Lie group. GLðn; CÞ is known as the complex general linear group. Example 4.22 Let V be a real linear space. Let GLðVÞ be the collection of all invertible linear transformations from V onto V. We shall try to show that GLðVÞ is a group under composition of mappings as binary operation. (1) Closure law: Let us take any T1 ; T2 in GLðVÞ: We have to show that T1 T2 is in GLðVÞ; that is, (a) T1 T2 is 1–1 from V to V, (b) T1 T2 maps V onto V, (c) for every x; y in V, and for every s; t in R; ðT1 T2 Þðsx þ tyÞ ¼ sððT1 T2 ÞðxÞÞ þ tððT1 T2 ÞðyÞÞ: For (a): Since T1 is in GLðVÞ; T1 is invertible, and hence, T1 is 1–1. Similarly, T2 is 1–1. Since T1 is 1–1, and T2 is 1–1, their composite T1 T2 is 1–1. For (b): Since T1 is in GLðVÞ; T1 is invertible, and hence, T1 maps V onto V. Similarly, T2 maps V onto V. Since T1 maps V onto V, and T2 maps V onto V, their composite T1 T2 maps V onto V. For (c): LHS ¼ ðT1 T2 Þðsx þ tyÞ ¼ T1 ðT2 ðsx þ tyÞÞ ¼ T1 ðsðT2 ðxÞÞ þ tðT2 ðyÞÞÞ ¼ sðT1 ðT2 ðxÞÞÞ þ tðT1 ðT2 ðyÞÞÞ ¼ sððT1 T2 ÞðxÞÞ þ tððT1 T2 ÞðyÞÞ ¼ RHS: Thus, we have shown that T1 T2 is in GLðVÞ: (2) is associative: Let T1 ; T2 ; T3 be in GLðVÞ: We have to show that ðT1 T2 Þ T3 ¼ T1 ðT2 T3 Þ: Since the composition of mappings is associative, ðT1 T2 Þ T3 ¼ T1 ðT2 T3 Þ: (3) Existence of identity element: Let us deﬁne the mapping IdV : V ! V as follows: for every x in V, IdV ðxÞ ¼ x: It is clear that IdV is an invertible linear transformation from V onto V, and hence, IdV is in GLðVÞ: Also, for any T in GLðVÞ; it is clear that IdV T ¼ T IdV ¼ T: Hence, IdV serves the purpose of identity element in GLðVÞ: (4) Existence of inverse element: Let us take any T in GLðVÞ: Since T is in GLðVÞ; T is invertible, and hence, T 1 exists. Now, we shall try to show that T 1 is in GLðVÞ; that is, T 1 : V 7! V is linear. For this purpose, let us take any x; y in V, and any real s; t: We have to show that T 1 ðsx þ tyÞ ¼ sðT 1 ðxÞÞ þ tðT 1 ðyÞÞ: Since x is in V, and T maps V onto V, there exists x1 in V such that Tðx1 Þ ¼ x: Hence, T 1 ðxÞ ¼ x1 : Similarly Tðy1 Þ ¼ y; and T 1 ðyÞ ¼ y1 : Now, LHS ¼ T 1 ðsx þ tyÞ ¼ T 1 ðsðT ðx1 ÞÞ þ tðT ðy1 ÞÞÞ ¼ T 1 ðT ðsx1 þ ty1 ÞÞ ¼ sx1 þ ty1 ¼ s T 1 ð xÞ þ t T 1 ð yÞ ¼ RHS:

Thus, T 1 is in GLðVÞ: It is clear that T 1 T ¼ T T 1 ¼ IdV : Hence, T 1 serves the purpose of the inverse element of T in GLðVÞ: Thus, we have shown that GLðVÞ is a group. Next, let V be ﬁnite-dimensional real linear space. Let n be the dimension of V. For simplicity, we shall take 2 for n. Let fe1 ; e2 g be a basis of the real linear space V. Let us take any T in GLðVÞ: So, T : V 7! V: Let Tðe1 Þ a11 e1 þ a21 e2 ; and Tðe2 Þ a12 e1 þ a22 e2 : Since T is in GLðVÞ; T is invertible, and hence, there exists unique ðt1 ; t2 Þ such that ða11 t1 þ a12 t2 Þe1 þ ða21 t1 þ a22 t2 Þe2 ¼ t1 ða11 e1 þ a21 e2 Þ þ t2 ða12 e1 þ a22 e2 Þ ¼ t1 ðT ðe1 ÞÞ þ t2 ðT ðe2 ÞÞ ¼ T ðt1 e1 þ t2 e2 Þ ¼ e1 ¼ 1e1 þ 0e2 : Thus, the system of equations

a11 t1 þ a12 t2 ¼ 1 a21 t1 þ a22 t2 ¼ 0

has a unique solution for ðt1 ; t2 Þ; and hence, a11 a22 a12 a21 6¼ 0: Since a11 a22 a12 a21 6¼ 0;

a11 a21

a12 a22

is in GLð2; RÞ:

Now, we can deﬁne a mapping g : GLðVÞ ! GLð2; RÞ as follows:

a gðT Þ 11 a21

a12 : a22

We shall try to show that g is an isomorphism from group GLðVÞ onto group GLð2; RÞ: For this purpose, we must show: (i) g is 1–1, (ii) g maps GLðVÞ onto GLð2; RÞ; (iii) for every S; T in GLðVÞ; gðS TÞ ¼ ðgðSÞÞðgðTÞÞ: For (i): Let gðSÞ ¼ gðTÞ; where Sðe1 Þ ¼ a11 e1 þ a21 e2 ; Sðe2 Þ ¼ a12 e1 þ a22 e2 ; Tðe1 Þ ¼ b11 e1 þ b21 e2 ; and Tðe2 Þ ¼ b12 e1 þ b22 e2 : We have to show that S ¼ T; that is, Sðe1 Þ ¼ Tðe1 Þ; and Sðe2 Þ ¼ Tðe2 Þ: Since

a11 a21

a12 a22

b ¼ gðSÞ ¼ gðT Þ ¼ 11 b21

b12 ; b22

a11 ¼ b11 ; and a21 ¼ b21 ; and hence, Sðe1 Þ ¼ a11 e1 þ a21 e2 ¼ b11 e1 þ b21 e2 ¼ Tðe1 Þ: Thus, Sðe1 Þ ¼ Tðe1 Þ: Similarly, Sðe2 Þ ¼ Tðe2 Þ:

For (ii): We have to show that g : GLðVÞ ! GLð2; RÞ is onto. For this purpose, let us take any

We have to construct invertible linear transformation T from V to V such that

a gðT Þ ¼ 11 a21

Let us deﬁne T : V ! V as follows: for every t1 ; t2 2 R; T ðt1 e1 þ t2 e2 Þ ¼ ða11 t1 þ a12 t2 Þe1 þ ða21 t1 þ a22 t2 Þe2 : It is clear that T is linear. Also Tðe1 Þ ¼ Tð1e1 þ 0e2 Þ ¼ ða11 1 þ a12 0Þe1 þ ða21 1 þ a22 0Þe2 ¼ a11 e1 þ a21 e 2 : Thus, Tðe

1 Þ ¼ a11 e1 þ a21 e2 : Similarly, Tðe2 Þ ¼ a11 a12 ¼ a11 a22 a12 a21 6¼ 0; T is invertible. a12 e1 þ a22 e2 : Now, since det a21 a22 Since T is an invertible linear transformation from V onto V, T is in GLðVÞ: Since Tðe1 Þ ¼ a11 e1 þ a21 e2 ; and Tðe2 Þ ¼ a12 e1 þ a22 e2 ;

a gðT Þ ¼ 11 a21

Thus, we have shown that g is an isomorphism between group GLðVÞ onto group GLð2; RÞ: Hence, group GLðVÞ is isomorphic onto group GLð2; RÞ: Since GLðVÞ and GLð2; RÞ are isomorphic groups, and GLð2; RÞ is a Lie group, we can bestow a topology on GLðVÞ so that GLðVÞ is also a Lie group. It also shows that the smooth structure on GLðVÞ is independent of the choice of basis of V. Thus, if V is a real linear space of dimension n, then GLðVÞ is isomorphic to the Lie group GLðn; RÞ: Similarly, if V is a complex linear space of dimension n, then GLðVÞ is isomorphic to the Lie group GLðn; CÞ: Example 4.23 Observe that ðR; þÞ is a group, and R is a 1-dimensional smooth manifold. We want to show that R is a Lie group. By Lemma 4.19, it is enough to show that the mapping f : ðx; yÞ 7! x y is a smooth mapping from 2-dimensional product manifold R R to 1-dimensional smooth manifold R: For this purpose, let us ﬁx any ða; bÞ in R R: We have to prove that f is smooth at ða; bÞ. For this purpose, let us take the admissible coordinate chart ðR R; IdRR Þ of the product manifold R R: Here, ða; bÞ 2 R R: Next, let us take the admissible coordinate chart ðR; IdR Þ of R. Clearly f ða; bÞ ¼ a b 2 R: Now, we have to prove that the function IdR f ðIdRR Þ1 : ðIdRR Þ ðR RÞ \ f 1 ðRÞ ! IdR ðRÞ is C 1 at the point IdRR ða; bÞð¼ ða; bÞÞ in R2 : Let us observe that IdR ðf ðIdRR Þ1 Þ ¼ f ; ðIdRR ÞððR RÞ \ f 1 ðRÞÞ ¼ ðR RÞ \ f 1 ðRÞ ¼ ðR RÞ \ ðR RÞ ¼ R R; and IdR ðRÞ ¼ R; so we have to prove that the function

f :RR!R is C1 at the point ða; bÞ: But this is known to be true. Thus, we have shown that ðx; yÞ 7! x y is a smooth map. This proves that R is a Lie group under addition. Similarly, R2 is a Lie group under addition, R3 is a Lie group under addition, etc. Since each ordered pair ðx; yÞ of real numbers x; y can be identiﬁed with the pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ complex number x þ 1y; and R2 is a Lie group under addition, clearly C is a Lie group under addition. Example 4.24 By R we shall mean the set of all nonzero real numbers. We know that R is a group under multiplication as binary operation. Since the elements of R can be identiﬁed, in a natural way, with the elements of GLð1; RÞ; and GLð1; RÞ; is a 1-dimensional Lie group, R is also a 1-dimensional Lie group under multiplication. Next, since R is a 1-dimensional Lie group, R is a smooth manifold. Since R is a smooth manifold, and fx : x 2 R and 0\xg is an open subset of R ; fx : x 2 R and 0\xg is a smooth manifold. We know that fx : x 2 R and 0\xg is a subgroup of the multiplicative group R : Thus, fx : x 2 R and 0\xg is a 1dimensional smooth manifold that is also a group. Since the function ðx; yÞ 7! xy is smooth so, by Lemma 4.19, fx : x 2 R and 0\xg is a 1-dimensional Lie group under multiplication. Example 4.25 By C we shall mean the set of all nonzero complex numbers. We know that C is a group under multiplication as binary operation. Since the elements of R can be identiﬁed, in a natural way, with the elements of GLð1; CÞ; and GLð1; CÞ is a 2-dimensional Lie group, C is also a 2-dimensional Lie group under multiplication. Example 4.26 We know that the unit circle S1 ð¼ fðx; yÞ : ðx; yÞ 2 R2 and pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ x2 þ y2 ¼ 1gÞ is a 1-dimensional smooth manifold. Observe that we can identify pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ ðx; yÞ with the complex number x þ 1y: Thus, we can identify the unit circle S1 with fz : z 2 C and jzj ¼ 1g: Further, we know that fz : z 2 C and jzj ¼ 1g is a multiplicative group. Thus, unit circle S1 is a 1-dimensional smooth manifold that is also a group. Since the function ðz; wÞ 7! wz is smooth, by Lemma 4.19, the circle S1 is a 1-dimensional Lie group. The Lie group S1 is called the circle group. Example 4.27 Let G1 and G2 be Lie groups. Since G1 and G2 are Lie groups, G1 and G2 are groups. We know that the Cartesian product G1 G2 is also a group under the binary operation given by ðg1 ; h1 Þðg2 ; h2 Þ ðg1 g2 ; h1 h2 Þ: Since G1 and G2 are Lie groups, G1 and G2 are smooth manifolds, and hence, their Cartesian product G1 G2 is a smooth manifold (called the product manifold of G1 and G2 ). Thus, G1 G2 is a 1-dimensional smooth manifold that is also a group.

We want to show that G1 G2 is a Lie group. By Lemma 4.19, it is enough to show that the mapping ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! ðxz1 ; yw1 Þ is smooth. Since the projection map ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! ðx; yÞ is smooth, and ðx; yÞ 7! x is smooth, their composite ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! x is smooth. Similarly, ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! y is smooth. Since ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! x and ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! z are smooth, ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! ðx; zÞ is smooth. Since G1 is a Lie group, and x; z are in G1 ; ðx; zÞ 7! xz1 is smooth. Since ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! ðx; zÞ is smooth, and ðx; zÞ 7! xz1 is smooth, their composite ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! xz1 is smooth. Similarly, ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! yw1 is smooth. Since ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! xz1 and ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! yw1 are smooth, ððx; yÞ; ðz; wÞÞ 7! ðxz1 ; yw1 Þ is smooth. Thus, we have shown that G1 G2 is a Lie group. Similarly, if G1 ; G2 ; G3 are Lie groups, then G1 G2 G3 is a Lie group, etc. Here, G1 G2 G3 is called the direct product of Lie groups G1 ; G2 ; G3 ; etc. The direct product of circle group S1 with itself, that is, S1 S1 is an abelian Lie group under pointwise multiplication. S1 S1 is called the 2-torus and is denoted by T2 : Similarly, by 3-torus T3 , we mean the abelian Lie group S1 S1 S1 ; etc. Example 4.28 Let G be a ﬁnite group. Let us bestow discrete topology over G. Observe that discrete topology over G is Hausdorff and second countable. Here, G is called a 0-dimensional Lie group or discrete group. Deﬁnition Let G and H be Lie groups. Let F : G ! H be a mapping. If F is a smooth mapping, and F is a group homomorphism, then we say that F is a Lie group homomorphism from G to H. Deﬁnition Let G and H be Lie groups. Let F : G ! H be a mapping. If F is a group isomorphism, and F is a diffeomorphism, then we say that F is a Lie group isomorphism from G onto H. Deﬁnition Let G and H be Lie groups. If there exists a mapping F : G ! H such that F is a Lie group isomorphism from G onto H, then we say that G and H are isomorphic Lie groups. Example 4.29 We have seen that the circle S1 ; and the set C of all nonzero complex numbers are Lie groups. Let us deﬁne a function I : S1 ! C as follows: for every z in S1 ; IðzÞ ¼ z: Clearly, the inclusion map I is a Lie group homomorphism from S1 to C : Example 4.30 We have seen that R is a Lie group under addition, and R is a Lie group under multiplication. Consider the function exp : R ! R deﬁned as follows: for every x in R; expðxÞ ex : Since x 7! ex is a smooth function and is a group homomorphism from R to R ; exp is a Lie group homomorphism from R to R : Observe that the range of exp is fx : x 2 R and 0\xg: We have seen that fx : x 2 R and 0\xg is a Lie group under multiplication. Here, the inverse function of exp is ln : fx : x 2 R and 0\xg ! R: Since ln is a smooth function and is 1–1 onto, exp is a Lie group isomorphism from R to fx : x 2 R and 0\xg:

C deﬁned as follows: for every z in C; pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ expðzÞ ez ¼ eReðzÞ cosðImðzÞÞ þ 1 sinðImðzÞÞ : Since ðx; yÞ ¼ z 7! ez ¼ ðex cos y; ex sin yÞ is a smooth function and is a group homomorphism from C to C ; exp is a Lie group homomorphism from Cto C : Observe that the range of exp is C ; exp is a function from C onto C : Since exp is not 1–1, exp is not a Lie group isomorphism from C to C : Example 4.32 We have seen that R is a Lie group under addition, and the circle S1 is a Lie group under multiplication. Consider the function e : R ! S1 deﬁned as follows: for every t in R; pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ eðtÞ cosð2ptÞ þ 1 sinð2ptÞ: pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ Since t 7! ðcosð2ptÞ þ 1 sinð2ptÞÞ ¼ ðcosð2ptÞ; sinð2ptÞÞ is a smooth function and is a group homomorphism from R onto S1 ; e is a Lie group homomorphism from R onto S1 : Here, the kernel kerðeÞ of homomorphism e is given by kerðeÞ ¼ e1 ð1Þ ¼ pﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃ ft : t 2 R and eðtÞ ¼ 1g ¼ ft : t 2 R and cosð2ptÞ þ 1 sinð2ptÞ ¼ 1g ¼ f0;

Similar discussion can be given for e3 ; e4 ; etc. Example 4.33 We have seen that

x1 x2 xx GLð2; RÞ ¼ : 1 2 2 Mð2; RÞ and x1 x4 x2 x3 6¼ 0 x3 x4 x3 x4 is a Lie group under matrix multiplication, and R is a Lie group under ordinary multiplication. Consider the function det : GLð2; RÞ 7! R deﬁned as follows: For every

is a smooth function, and by a property of determinant det is a group homomorphism from GLð2; RÞ onto R ; det is a Lie group homomorphism from GLð2; RÞ onto R : Example 4.34 Let us take any n-dimensional Lie group G. Let us ﬁx any a in G. For simplicity, let us take 2 for n. Consider the mapping Ca : G 7! G deﬁned as follows: for every x in G, Ca ðxÞ axa1 : We want to show that Ca is a Lie group homomorphism from G onto G; that is, 1. Ca is a group homomorphism, 2. Ca is onto, 3. Ca is smooth. For 1: Since for every x; y in G; Ca ðxyÞ aðxyÞa1 ¼ ðaxa1 Þðaya1 Þ ¼ ðCa ðxÞÞðCa ðyÞÞ; Ca is a group homomorphism. For 2: For this purpose, let us take any y in G. Since a1 ya is in G, and Ca ða1 yaÞ ¼ aða1 yaÞa1 ¼ y; it follows that Ca is onto. For 3: Since G is a Lie group, and a is in group G, the map x 7! ax is smooth. Similarly x 7! xa1 ; is smooth. Since x 7! ax is smooth, and x 7! xa1 ; their composite x 7! axa1 ð¼ Ca ðxÞÞ is smooth, and hence Ca is smooth. Thus we have shown that Ca is a Lie group homomorphism from G onto G:

4.3 Locally Path Connected Spaces Note 4.35 Let X be a topological space. Let S be a connected subset of X. We shall try to show that the closure S– of S is also connected. We claim that S– is connected. If not, otherwise, let S– be not connected. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since S– is not connected, there exist open subsets G1 ; G2 of X such that G1 \ðS Þ is nonempty, G2 \ðS Þ is nonempty, G1 \ G2 \ðS Þ is empty, and S G1 [ G2 : Since G1 \ðS Þ is nonempty, there exists a 2 G1 \ðS Þ; and hence a 2 G1 : Since a 2 G1 and G1 is open, G1 is an open neighborhood of a. Since a 2 G1 \ðS Þ; a 2 S : Since a 2 S and G1 is an open neighborhood of a, G1 \ S is nonempty. Similarly, G2 \ S is nonempty. Since S S ; and G1 \ G2 \ðS Þ is empty, G1 \ G2 \ S is empty. Since S S G1 [ G2 ; S G1 [ G2 : Since G1 ; G2 are open subsets of X, G1 \ S is nonempty, G2 \ S is nonempty, G1 \ G2 \ S is empty, and S G1 [ G2 ; S is not connected, a contradiction. Note 4.36 Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. For every x; y in S, by x y we shall mean that there exists a connected subset C of X such that C S; x 2 C; and y 2 C: We shall show that * is an equivalence relation over S, that is, 1. for every x in S, x x; 2. if x y then y x; 3. if x y; and y z then x z: For 1: Let us take any x in S. Since the singleton set {x} is connected subset of X, and x 2 fxg S, by the deﬁnition of *, x x: For 2: Let x y: Now, by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a connected subset C of X such that C S; x 2 C; and y 2 C: Thus, C is a connected subset of X such that C S; y 2 C; and x 2 C; and hence, by the deﬁnition of *, y x: For 3: Let x y; and y z: Since x y; so by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a connected subset C of X such that C S; x 2 C; and y 2 C: Similarly, there exists a connected subset C1 of X such that C1 S; y 2 C1 ; and z 2 C1 : Since C is a connected subset of X, C1 is a connected subset of X, and y 2 C \ C1 ; C [ C1 is a connected subset of X. Also x 2 C C [ C1 ; and z 2 C1 C [ C1 : Since C S; and C1 S; so C [ C1 S: It follows, by the deﬁnition of *, that x z: Thus, we have shown that * is an equivalence relation over S. Hence, S is partitioned into equivalence classes. Here, each equivalence class is called a component of S. Now, we shall try to show that each component of S is a connected subset of X. Let us take any component [a] of S, where a is in S, and ½a fx : x 2 S; and x ag: We claim that [a] is connected. If not, otherwise, let [a] be not connected, that is, there exist open subsets G1 ; G2 of X such that G1 \½a is nonempty, G2 \½a is nonempty, G1 \ G2 \½a is empty, and ½a G1 [ G2 : We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since G1 \½a is nonempty, there exists b in G1 \½a : Similarly, there exists c in G2 \½a : Here, b and c are in [a], and [a] is an

266

equivalence class, so b c; and hence, by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a connected subset C of X such that C S; b 2 C; and c 2 C: Thus, b is in G1 \ C; and hence, G1 \ C is nonempty. Similarly, G2 \ C is nonempty. Clearly, C is contained in [a]. (Reason: If not, otherwise, there exists t 2 C such that t 62 ½a : Since C is a connected subset of X, C S; b 2 C; and t 2 C; b t: Since b is in G1 \½a ; b a. Since b t; and b a; t a; and hence t 2 ½a ; a contradiction.) Since C is contained in [a], and G1 \ G2 \½a is empty, G1 \ G2 \ C is empty. Next since C is contained in [a] and ½a G1 [ G2 ; C G1 [ G2 : Since G1 ; G2 are open subsets of X, G1 \ C is nonempty, G2 \ C is nonempty, G1 \ G2 \ C is empty, and C G1 [ G2 ; C is not connected, a contradiction. Thus, we have shown that [a] is a connected subset of S. Clearly, [a] is a maximal connected subset of S. (Reason: If not, otherwise, let [a] be not a maximal connected subset of S. So, there exists a connected subset C of S such that [a] is a proper subset of C. So, there exists t in C such that t is not in [a]. Since a 2 ½a C S; t is in C, and C is a connected subset of X, t a; and hence, t is in [a], a contradiction.) Finally, we want to show that every component of X is a closed set. Let us take any component C of X. Since C is a component of X, C is connected, and hence, C is connected. Since C is a component of X, C is connected, and C C X, C ¼ C ; and hence, C is closed. Thus, we have seen that (i) every nonempty subset S topological space X is partitioned into components, and (ii) every component of S is connected. (iii) if C is a component of S, C1 is connected, and C C1 S then C ¼ C1 : (iv) every component of X is a closed set. Note 4.37 Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. Let a, b be elements of S. Let f be a function from closed interval [0,1] to S. If (i) f is continuous, (ii) f ð0Þ ¼ a and f ð1Þ ¼ b, then, we say that f is a path in S from a to b. Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. If for every a, b in S, there exists a path f in S from a to b, then we say that S is a path connected subset of X. By X is path connected we mean: X is a path connected subset of X. In other words, a topological space X is path connected means for every x, y in X, there exists a continuous function f : ½0; 1 7! X such that f ð0Þ ¼ x and f ð1Þ ¼ y: Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. For every x, y in S, by x y, we shall mean that the following statement is true:

4.3 Locally Path Connected Spaces

267

there exists a path f in S from x to y: We shall try to show that * is an equivalence relation over S. By the deﬁnition of equivalence relation, we must prove: (1) x x for every x in S, (2) if x y, then y x; (3) if x y and y z, then x z: For (1): Let us take any x in S. By the deﬁnition of *, we must ﬁnd a path f in S from x to x. For this purpose, consider the constant function f : ½0; 1 ! S deﬁned by f ðt Þ x for every t in [0,1]. Since every constant function is a continuous function, and f is a constant function, f is a continuous function. Further, by the deﬁnition of f, f ð0Þ ¼ x and f ð1Þ ¼ x. Hence, by the deﬁnition of path, f is a path in S from x to x. This proves (1). For (2): Let x y. So, by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a path f in S from x to y. Since f is a path in S from x to y so, by the deﬁnition of path, f is a function from the closed interval [0,1] to S such that (i) f is continuous, (ii) f ð0Þ ¼ x and f ð1Þ ¼ y. We have to prove: y x. So, by the deﬁnition of *, we must ﬁnd a path in S from y to x, and hence, by the deﬁnition of path, we must ﬁnd a function g : ½0; 1 7! S such that (10 ) g is continuous, (20 ) gð0Þ ¼ y and gð1Þ ¼ x: Let us deﬁne g : ½0; 1 ! X as follows: gðtÞ f ð1 tÞ for every t in [0, 1]. Clearly, the range of g is equal to the range of f. Since the range of g is equal to the range of f, and f : ½0; 1 ! S; g : ½0; 1 ! S: For ð10 Þ: Since t 7! 1 t is a polynomial function, this is continuous. Since t 7! 1 t is a continuous function, and f is a continuous function, their composite function t 7! f ð1 tÞ ¼ gðtÞ is continuous, and hence, g is continuous. This proves (10 ). For ð20 Þ : Here, by the deﬁnition of g, gð0Þ ¼ f ð1 0Þ ¼ f ð1Þ ¼ y; and gð1Þ ¼ f ð1 1Þ ¼ f ð0Þ ¼ x: This proves 20 : Thus we have shown: If x y, then y x: This proves ð2Þ. For (3): Given that x y and y z. We have to prove: x z; that is, by the deﬁnition of *, we must ﬁnd a path h in S from x to z, that is, we must ﬁnd a function h : ½0; 1 ! S such that

268

(10 ) h is continuous, (20 ) hð0Þ ¼ x and hð1Þ ¼ z. Since x y, by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a path in S from x to y, and hence, there exists a function f : ½0; 1 ! S such that (100 ) f is continuous, (200 ) f ð0Þ ¼ x and f ð1Þ ¼ y. Since y z, by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a path in S from y to z, and hence, there exists a function g : ½0; 1 7! S such that (1000 ) g is continuous, (2000 ) gð0Þ ¼ y and gð1Þ ¼ z. Let us deﬁne a function h : ½0; 1 7! X as follows: f ð2tÞ if 0 t\ 12 hð t Þ gð2t 1Þ if 12 t 1: Clearly, the range of h is the union of the range of f, and the range of g. Further, since f : ½0; 1 ! S; and g : ½0; 1 ! S; the range of h is contained S, and hence h : ½0; 1 7! S: For ð10 Þ: we have to prove that h is continuous over [0, 1], that is, h is continuous at all points of [0, 1]. By the deﬁnition of h over 0 t\ 12, h is the composite function of two continuous functions, namely t 7! 2t and f so, h is continuous at all points of ft : 0 t\ 12g: Similarly, h is continuous at all points of ft : 12 \t 1g: So, it remains to prove that h is continuous at 12 : For this purpose, we should calculate the left-hand limit of h at 12, the right-hand limit of h at 12 and hð12Þ. If all the three values are equal, then we can say that h is continuous at 12. In short, we have to prove: 1 lim hðtÞ ¼ lim þ hðtÞ ¼ h : 1 2 t!ð2Þ t!ð12Þ Here, limt!ð12Þ hðtÞ ¼ limt!12 f ð2tÞ; by the deﬁnition of h. Since t 7! f ð2tÞ is a

continuous function over ½0; 12 , limt!12 f ð2tÞ ¼ f ð2 12Þ ¼ f ð1Þ ¼ y: Hence, limt!ð12Þ hðtÞ ¼ y: Similarly, limt!ð1Þþ hðtÞ ¼ limt!12 gð2t 1Þ ¼ gð2ð12Þ 1Þ ¼ 2 gð0Þ ¼ y:Hence limt!ð12Þ hðtÞ ¼ limt!ð1Þþ hðtÞ ¼ y. Further, by the deﬁnition of 2

h, hð12Þ ¼ gð2ð12Þ 1Þ ¼ gð0Þ ¼ y: Hence, limt!ð12Þ hðtÞ ¼ limt!ð1Þþ hðtÞ ¼ hð12Þ. 2

Thus, we have shown that h is continuous over [0,1]. This proves ð10 Þ For ð20 Þ: Here hð0Þ ¼ f ð2ð0ÞÞ ¼ f ð0Þ ¼ x, and hð1Þ ¼ gð2ð1Þ 1Þ ¼ gð1Þ ¼ z. This proves ð20 Þ: Thus, we have shown: If x y and y z, then x z: This proves (3). Hence, * is an equivalence relation over S. Hence, S is partitioned into equivalence classes. Here, each equivalence class is called a path component of S.

Note 4.38 Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. Now, we shall try to prove that each path component of S is a path connected subset of X. For this purpose, let us take any path component [a] of S, where a 2 S; ½a fx : x 2 S; and x ag; and x a stands for: There exists a path in S from x to a. We have to show that [a] is a path connected subset of S. For this purpose, let us take any x,y in [a]. We have to ﬁnd a path in [a] from x to y. Since [a] is a path component of S, [a] is an equivalence class. Since [a] is an equivalence class, and x is in [a], x a; and hence, there exists a function f : ½0; 1 ! S such that (10 ) f : ½0; 1 ! S is continuous, (20 ) f ð0Þ ¼ x and f ð1Þ ¼ a. Clearly, the range of f is contained in [a]. (Reason: Let us take any b f ðt0 Þ 2 ran f ; where t0 2 ð0; 1Þ: We have to prove that b 2 ½a ; that is, a b: We must ﬁnd a function F : ½0; 1 ! S such that (i) F is continuous, (ii) Fð0Þ ¼ a and Fð1Þ ¼ b. Let us deﬁne F : ½0; 1 ! S as follows: for every t in [0,1], FðtÞ f ð1 þ ðt0 1ÞtÞ: Clearly, the range of [0,1] under t 7! ð1 þ ðt0 1ÞtÞ is ½t0 ; 1 ; and hence, the ran F f ð½t0 ; 1 Þ S: Since ran F f ð½t0 ; 1 Þ S; F : ½0; 1 ! S. Since F is the composite of two continuous functions t 7! ð1 þ ðt0 1ÞtÞ; and f, F is continuous. Clearly, Fð0Þ ¼ f ð1 þ ðt0 1Þ0Þ ¼ f ð1Þ ¼ a; and Fð1Þ ¼ f ð1 þ ðt0 1Þ1Þ ¼ f ðt0 Þ ¼ b.) Since the range of f is contained in [a], and f : ½0; 1 ! S; f : ½0; 1 ! ½a : Now, since f : ½0; 1 ! S; is continuous, f : ½0; 1 ! ½a : is continuous. Further, f ð0Þ ¼ x and f ð1Þ ¼ a. Thus we get a path in [a] from x to a. Similarly, we get a path in [a] from a to y. Since there exist a path in [a] from x to a, and a path in [a] from a to y, there exists a path in [a] from x to y. Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. Now, we shall try to prove that if C is a path component of S, C1 is path connected, and C C1 S, then C ¼ C1 : If C is a component of S, C1 is connected, and C C1 S, then C ¼ C1 : Let us take a path component [a] of S, and a path connected set C satisfying ½a C S: We claim that ½a ¼ C1 : If not, otherwise, let [a] be a proper subset of C. So, there exists t in C such that t is not in [a]. Since a 2 ½a C; a is in C. Since a is in C, t is in C, and C is a path connected subset of X, there exists a path f in C from t to a. Since f is a path in C, and C S; f is a path in S, and hence, t is in [a], a contradiction. Thus, we have seen that (i) every nonempty subset S of a topological space X is partitioned into path components, (ii) every path component of S is path connected, (iii) if C is a path component of S, C1 is path connected, and C C1 S then C ¼ C1 : Note 4.39 Let X be a topological space. Let S be a nonempty subset of X. We shall try to prove: Each component of S is a union of path components of S. Let us take any component fy : y 2 S and y ag of S, where a is in S, and y a stands for:

There exists a connected subset A of X such that A S; and y; a are in A. It is enough to show that fy : y 2 S and y 0 ag fy : y 2 S and y ag where y 0 a stands for: There exists a path in S from y to a. For this purpose, let us take any y in LHS. We have to prove that y is in RHS, that is, y a: By the deﬁnition of *, we should ﬁnd a connected subset A of X such that A S; and y, a are in A. Since y is in LHS, y 0 a. Since y 0 a, by the deﬁnition of 0 , there exists a path f in S from y to a. Since f is a path in S from y to a, f is a function from closed interval [0,1] to S satisfying (I) f is continuous, (II) f ð0Þ ¼ y and f ð1Þ ¼ a. Since f : ½0; 1 ! S is continuous, and [0,1] is connected, so the f-image set f ð½0; 1 Þ of [0, 1] is a connected subset of X. Since 0 is in [0, 1], f ð0Þ is in f ð½0; 1 Þ. Similarly, f ð1Þ is in f ð½0; 1 Þ: Further, f ð0Þ ¼ y and f ð1Þ ¼ a: Thus, f ð½0; 1 Þ is a connected subset of X such that f ð½0; 1 Þ S; and y, a are in f ð½0; 1 Þ: Note 4.40 Let X be a topological space. We shall try to show: If X is path connected, then X is connected. If not, otherwise, let X be not connected. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since X is not connected, there exist open subsets G1 ; G2 of X such that G1 is nonempty, G2 is nonempty, G1 \ G2 is empty, and X ¼ G1 [ G2 : Since G1 is nonempty, there exists a in G1 : Similarly, there exists b in G2 Now, since X is path connected, there exists a continuous function f : ½0; 1 ! X such that f ð0Þ ¼ a; and f ð1Þ ¼ b: Since f : ½0; 1 ! X is continuous, and [0, 1] is connected, the image set f ð½0; 1 Þ is connected. Here, a is in G1 ; and a ¼ f ð0Þ 2 f ð½0; 1 Þ; so a 2 G1 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ; and hence, G1 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ is nonempty. Similarly, G2 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ is nonempty. Next, since G1 \ G2 is empty, G1 \ G2 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ is empty. Since G1, G2 are open subsets of X such that G1 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ is nonempty, G2 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ is nonempty, G1 \ G2 \ f ð½0; 1 Þ is empty, and f ð½0; 1 Þ X ¼ G1 [ G2 ; f ð½0; 1 Þ is not connected, a contradiction. Deﬁnition Let X be a topological space. If for every x in X, and for every open neighborhood U of x, there exists an open neighborhood V of x such that (i) x 2 V U; (ii) V is a connected subset of X, then we say that X is a locally connected space. Deﬁnition Let X be a topological space. If for every x in X, and for every open neighborhood U of x, there exists an open neighborhood V of x such that (i) x 2 V U; (ii) V is a path connected subset of X, then we say that X is a locally path connected space.

Note 4.41 Let X be a topological space. We shall try to prove: If X is locally connected space, and G is a nonempty open subset of X, then each component of G is open. Let X be a locally connected space, and let G be an open subset of X. We have to show that each component of G is open in X. By the deﬁnition of component, every component of G is of the form ½a fx : x 2 G and x ag for some a 2 G, where x a stands for: There exists a connected subset A of X such that A G; x 2 A; and a 2 A: We have to show that [a] is an open subset of X, that is, every point of [a] is an interior point of [a]. For this purpose, let us take any x 2 ½a . We must ﬁnd an open neighborhood V of x such that V ½a . Since x 2 ½a and ½a G, x 2 G. Since x 2 G and G is open in X, G is an open neighborhood of x. Since X is a locally connected space, and G is an open neighborhood of x, there exists an open neighborhood V of x such that (I) x 2 V G; (II) V is a connected subset of X. We claim that V ½a : If not, otherwise, let V 6 ½a : So, there exists b in V such that b 62 ½a . Since [a] is an equivalence class of a, and b 62 ½a , b ¿ a: Here, b 2 V G so b 2 G: Similarly, x 2 G. Further, since V is a connected subset of X, V G; and x, b are in V, by the deﬁnition of *, x b: Since x b; and * is an equivalence relation, ½x ¼ ½b : Since x 2 ½a ; and * is an equivalence relation, ½x ¼ ½a : Since ½x ¼ ½b ; and ½x ¼ ½a , ½a ¼ ½b . Since ½a ¼ ½b , a b. This is a contradiction. So, our claim is true, that is, V ½a : Clearly, if X is locally connected space, then each component of X is open. Note 4.42 Let X be a topological space. We shall try to prove: If X is locally path connected space, and G is a nonempty open subset of X, then each path component of G is open. Let X be a locally path connected space, and let G be an open subset of X. We have to show that each path component of G is open in X. By the deﬁnition of path component, every path component of G is of the form ½a fx : x 2 G and x ag for some a 2 G, where x a stands for: There exists a path in G from x to a. We have to show that [a] is an open subset of X, that is, every point of [a] is an interior point of [a]. For this purpose, let us take any x 2 ½a . We must ﬁnd an open neighborhood V of x such that V ½a . Since x 2 ½a ; and ½a G, x 2 G. Since x 2 G and G is open in X, G is an open neighborhood of x. Since X is a locally path connected space, and G is an open neighborhood of x, there exists an open neighborhood V of x such that (I) x 2 V G; (II) V is a path connected subset of X.

It remains to prove: V ½a : If not, otherwise, let V 6 ½a : We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since V 6 ½a , there exists b in V such that b 62 ½a . Since [a] is an equivalence class of a, and b 62 ½a , b ¿ a: Here, b 2 V G so b 2 G: Similarly, x 2 G. Further, since V is a path connected subset of X and x, b are in V, there exists a path in V from x to b. Since there exists a path in V from x to b, and V G, by the deﬁnition of *, x b: Since x b and * is an equivalence relation, ½x ¼ ½b : Since x 2 ½a ; and * is an equivalence relation, ½x ¼ ½a : Since ½x ¼ ½b ; and ½x ¼ ½a , ½a ¼ ½b . Since ½a ¼ ½b , a b. Thus, we get a contradiction. Clearly, if X is a locally path connected space, then each path component of X is open. Note 4.43 Let X be a locally path connected space. We shall try to prove that the collection of all path components of X, and the collection of all components of X are equal. For any a in X, let fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag be a path component of X, where y 0 a stands for: There exists a path in X from y to a. It is enough to prove that fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag ¼ fy : y 2 X and y ag where y a stands for: There exists a connected subset A of X such that A G; y 2 A; and a 2 A: We know that fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag fy : y 2 X and y ag: So, it remains to prove that fy : y 2 X and y ag fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag

. . . ð Þ

If not, otherwise, let there exists y 2 fy : y 2 X and y ag such that y 62 fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Here, y a is true and y 0 a is false. Since y a is true, by the deﬁnition of *, there exists a connected subset A of X such that y ; a are in A. Since fy : y 2 X and y 0 y g is the path component of X containing y ; and X is a locally path connected space, P fy : y 2 X and y 0 y g is an open set containing y : Since P contains y ; and y is in A, y 2 A \ P, and therefore, A \ P is nonempty. Since X is partitioned into path components, complement of each path component in X is a union of path components of X. Since X is a locally path connected space, each path component is open. Since union of open sets is open, complement of each path component in X is union of path components, and each path component is open, complement of each path component in X is open. Since fy : y 2 X and y 0 y g is a path component, and complement of each path component in X is open, the complement P0 of P is open. Thus, we have obtained two open sets P and P0 such that A \ P is nonempty. Now, we shall try to prove that A \ ðP0 Þ in nonempty. Since y 62 fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag; and 0 is an equivalence relation over X, fy : y 2 X and y 0 y gð¼ PÞ and fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag are disjoint sets, and therefore, fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag is contained in P0 : Since 0 is reflexive over X,

a is in fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag. Since a 2 fy : y 2 X and y 0 ag P0 ; a is in P0 . Since a is in P0 and a is in A, a is in A \ðP0 Þ, and therefore, A \ðP0 Þ is nonempty. Since P and P0 are two open sets such that (I) P \ A and P0 \ A are nonempty sets, (II) P \ P0 \ A is empty, (III) A P [ðP0 Þ; by the deﬁnition of connected set, A is not a connected set. This is a contradiction. This proves (*). h

4.4 Smooth Manifold as Paracompact Space Deﬁnition Let n be a ﬁxed positive integer. Let M be a topological space. If the following conditions are satisﬁed: 1. M is a Hausdorff space, 2. M is a second countable space, 3. for every x in M, there exists an open neighborhood U of x in M, and an open e of Euclidean space Rn such that U and U e are homeomorphic, then we subset U say that M is a topological manifold of dimension n. In other words, M is a topological manifold of dimension n means M is a topological space that satisﬁes the following conditions: 10 : If x and y are distinct points of M, then there exist an open neighborhood U of x and an open neighborhood V of y such that U and V have no common element, 20 . There exists a countable collection C of open subsets of M such that for every neighborhood U of x, there exists a member G of C such that x 2 G U; 30 . For every x in M, there exist an open neighborhood U of x in M, an open e of Euclidean space Rn , and a 1–1 mapping φ from U onto U e such that subset U 1 φ and its inverse u , both are continuous functions. Here, ðU; uÞ is referred as a coordinate chart of M. Note 4.44 Let M be a topological manifold of dimension n. We shall try to show that M is locally path connected. For this purpose, let us take an element x in M and an open neighborhood U of x in M. We have to ﬁnd an open set V of x such that (I) x 2 V U; (II) V is a path connected subset of M. Since M is a topological manifold, and x is in M so, there exist an open e 1 of Euclidean space Rn such that neighborhood U1 of x in M and an open subset U e 1 are homeomorphic. U1 and U

Since U and U1 are open neighborhoods of x, their intersection U \ U1 is also an e 1 are homeomorphic so, there exists a open neighborhood of x. Here that U1 and U e 1–1 mapping φ from U1 onto U 1 such that φ and its inverse u1 , both are continuous onto e 1 11; functions. Since U \ U1 is an open subset of U1, and u1 : U ! U1 is cone 1 Since uðU \ U1 Þ is an open subset of U e 1; tinuous, uðU \ U1 Þ is an open subset of U n n e and U 1 is an open subset of R , uðU \ U1 Þ is an open subset of R : Since U \ U1 is an open neighborhood of x, x is in U \ U1 ; and hence, uðxÞ is in uðU \ U1 Þ: Since uðxÞ is in uðU \ U1 Þ and uðU \ U1 Þ is an open subset of Rn , uðU \ U1 Þis an open neighborhood of uðxÞ in Rn . So, there exists e [ 0 such that the open ball B fy 2 Rn : jy uð xÞj\eg e 1 ; B is contained in U e 1 : We is contained in uðU \ U1 Þ: Since B uðU \ U1 Þ U n e know that B is open in R . Since φ is a continuous function from U1 onto U 1 ; and e 1 , u1 ðBÞ is an open subset of U1. Let us take u1 ðBÞ for B is an open subset of U V in (I) and (II). So, we must prove: (I) x 2 u1 ðBÞ U; (II) u1 ðBÞ is a path connected subset of M. For (I): Since juðxÞ uðxÞj ¼ 0\e, uðxÞ 2 fy 2 Rn : jy uðxÞj\eg ¼ B; and hence, x 2 u1 ðBÞ: Since U \ U1 is contained in U1, uðU \ U1 Þ uðUÞ: Since B uðU \ U1 Þ uðUÞ, B uðUÞ and hence u1 ðBÞ U: This proves (I). For (II): We have to prove that u1 ðBÞ is a path connected subset of M. For this purpose, let us take any a and b in u1 ðBÞ. We have to ﬁnd a path f in M from a to b, that is, we have to ﬁnd a continuous function f from closed interval [0, 1] to M such that f ð0Þ ¼ a and f ð1Þ ¼ b: Consider the function f : ½0; 1 7! M deﬁned by f ðtÞ u1 ðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞ for every t in [0, 1]. Here, t 7! u1 ðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞ is a composite function of two functions t 7! ð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞ and u1 . Since a is in u1 ðBÞ, uðaÞ 2 B, and hence, by the deﬁnition of B; juðaÞ uðxÞj\e: Similarly, juðbÞ uðxÞj\e. Since juðaÞ uðxÞj\e; and juðbÞ uðxÞj\e; for every t satisfying 0 t 1, we have jðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞuð xÞj ¼ jð1 tÞðuðaÞ uð xÞÞ þ tðuðbÞ uð xÞÞj ð1 tÞjuðaÞ uð xÞj þ tjuðbÞ uð xÞj \ð1 tÞe þ te ¼ e: It follows, by the deﬁnition of B, that t 7! ð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞ is a function from e 1 Þ; and [0,1] to B. Since t 7! ð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞ is a function from [0,1] to Bð U e 1 7! U1 M; their composite t 7! u1 ðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞ maps [0, 1] to u1 : U M. Since t 7! ð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞ and u1 both are continuous, their composite

function t 7! u1 ðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞ is continuous. Further, since f ðtÞ ¼ u1 ðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞ and , t 7! u1 ðð1 tÞuðaÞ þ tuðbÞÞ is continuous, f : ½0; 1 7! M is continuous. Also f ð0Þ ¼ u1 ðð1 0ÞuðaÞ þ 0uðbÞÞ ¼ u1 ðuðaÞÞ ¼ a; and f ð1Þ ¼ u1 ðð1 1ÞuðaÞ þ 1uðbÞÞ ¼ u1 ðuðbÞÞ ¼ b. Thus f is a path in M from a to b. This proves (II). Note 4.45 Let M be a topological manifold of dimension n. We shall try to prove: (i) M is connected if and only if it is path connected. (ii) The collection of all path components of M is equal to the collection of all components of M. (iii) M has countable many components, each of which is an open subset of M, and a connected topological manifold. For (i): Let M be path connected. We have to prove that M is connected. Since M is path connected, M is a path component. Since M is a topological manifold, M is locally path connected. Since M is locally path connected, and M is a path component, M is a component. Since M is a component, M is connected. Converse: Let M be connected. We have to prove that M is path connected. Since M is connected, M is a component. Since M is a topological manifold, M is locally path connected. Since M is locally path connected, and M is a component, M is a path component. Since M is a path component, M is path connected. This completes the proof of (i). For (ii): Since M is a topological manifold, M is locally path connected. Since M is locally path connected, the collection of all path components of M is equal to the collection of all components of M. This proves (ii). For (iii): We have to prove that M has countable many components. If not, otherwise, let M has uncountable many components. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Let C be a component of M. Since M is a topological manifold, M is locally path connected. Since M is locally path connected, and C is a component of M, C is a path component. Since M is locally path connected, and C is a path component, C is open in M. Since C is open in M, and a is in C, C is an open neighborhood of a in M. Since M is a topological manifold, M is a second countable space. Since M is a second countable space, there exists a countable collection C of open subsets of M such that for every neighborhood U of x, there exists a member G of C such that x 2 G U: Now, since C is an open neighborhood of a, there exists a member G of C such that x 2 G C: Thus, we see that corresponding to each component C, there exists a member G of C such that G is contained in C. Since M is partitioned into components, each component contains a member of C, and the collection of all components is uncountable, the collection C is uncountable. This is a contradiction. This proves that M has countable many components.

Now, let us take a component C. We have to prove that C is open and connected. Since M is a topological manifold, M is locally path connected. Since M is locally path connected and C is a component of M, C is a path component. Since M is locally path connected, and C is a path component, C is open in M. Since C is a component, C is connected. Hence, C is open and connected. Lastly, we have to show that C is a topological manifold of dimension n, where topology on C is the induced topology of M. Since C is an open subset of topological space M, under induced topology of M, open subsets of C are exactly those subsets of C which are open in M. By the deﬁnition of topological manifold, we must prove: 1. C is a Hausdorff space, 2. C is a second countable space, e1 3. for every x in C, there exist a neighborhood U1 of x in C, and an open subset U n e 1 are homeomorphic: of Euclidean space R such that U1 and U For 1: Since M is a topological manifold, M is a Hausdorff space. Since M is a Hausdorff space, and C is a subspace of M, C is a Hausdorff space. This proves 1. For 2: Since M is a topological manifold, M is a second countable space. Since M is a second countable space, and C is a subspace of M, C is a second countable. This proves 2. For 3: Let us ﬁx any a in C. We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood U1 of a in C, e 1 of Euclidean space Rn such that U1 and U e 1 are and an open subset U homeomorphic. Since a is in C, and C is contained in M so, a is in M. Since a is in M, and M is a topological manifold, there exists an open neighborhood U of a in M, an open e of Euclidean space Rn , and a 1–1 mapping φ from U onto U e such that φ subset U 1 and its inverse u , both are continuous functions. Since a is in C, and C is open, C is an open neighborhood of a. Since C is an open neighborhood of a, and U is an open neighborhood of a, C \ U is an open neighborhood of a, and C \ U is cone is 1–1, so its restriction ujC U to C \ U tained in U. Here, function φ from U to U \ e is continuous, its restriction ujC U to is also 1–1. Since function φ from U to U \ onto e 11; C \ U is also continuous. Since the mapping u1 : U ! U is continuous, and e . Since uðC \ UÞ is open in U e; C \ U is an open subset of U, uðC \ UÞ is open in U n n e is open in R , uðC \ UÞ is open in R Since u : U ! U e is a homeomorand U e; phism, C \ U is an open subset of U, and uðC \ UÞ is an open subset of U ujC \ U : C \ U ! uðC \ UÞ is a homeomorphism. This proves 3.

For this purpose, let us take any open neighborhood G of x in X. We have to ﬁnd a member U of B1 such that x 2 U G: Since x is in X, and G is a cover of X, there exists G1 in G such that x is in G1. Since G1 is in G; and G is an open cover of X, G1 is open. Since G1 is open, and x is in G1, G1 is an open neighborhood of x. Since G1 is an open neighborhood of x, and G is an open neighborhood of x, their intersection G1 \ G is an open neighborhood of x. Since G1 \ G is an open neighborhood of x, and B is a basis of X, there exists U in B such that x 2 U G1 \ G G: Since U G1 \ G G1 ; U G1 Since U is in B; G1 2 G; and U G1 , by the deﬁnition of B1 ; U is in B1 : Thus, we have shown that B1 is a basis of X.

Thus, we have shown that G1 is a countable subcover of G: Lemma 4.47 Let M be a topological manifold of dimension n. Then, there exists a countable collection fðU1 ; u1 Þ; ðU2 ; u2 Þ; ðU3 ; u3 Þ; . . .g of coordinate charts of M such that 1. fU1 ; U2 ; U3 ; . . .g is a basis of M, 2. each ui ðUi Þ is an open ball in Rn ; 3. each closure Ui of Ui is a compact subset of M. Proof Let C be the collection of all coordinate charts ðU; uÞ of M. Since M is a topological manifold, fU : ðU; uÞ 2 Cg is an open cover of M. Since M is a topological manifold, M is second countable.

Deﬁnition Let X be a topological space. If for every open cover A of X; there exists an open cover C of M such that C is locally ﬁnite, and C is a reﬁnement of A; then we say that X is a paracompact space. Note 4.53 By the Lemma 4.52, we ﬁnd that every smooth manifold is a paracompact space.

4.5 Partitions of Unity Theorem Note 4.54 (Pasting Lemma) Let X and Y be topological spaces. Let A and B be subsets of X such that the union of A and B is X: Let f : A ! Y be a continuous function, where the topology of A is the induced topology of X: Let g : B !

Then, if A and B are open subsets of X, then F is continuous. Proof Since f : A ! Y is a function, g : B ! Y is a function, for every x in A \ B; f ðxÞ ¼ gðxÞ; and F ð xÞ

F is well defined on A [ Bð¼ X Þ: Let us take any x in X. We have to prove that F is continuous at x. Since x is in X, and X ¼ A [ B; x 2 A or x 2 B: Case I: When x 2 A. Since f : A !

take any a in ð[fU : U 2 UgÞ : We claim that a is in [fU : U 2 Ug: If not, otherwise, let for every U 2 U; a 62 U : We have to arrive at a contradiction. h Now, since U is locally ﬁnite, there exists an open neighborhood Ga of a such that all but ﬁnite many U 2 U are outside Ga : For every U 2 U, we have a 62 U ; there exists an open neighborhood HU of a such that HU contains no point of U ; and hence, HU contains no point of U: Since all but ﬁnite many U 2 U are outside Ga ; the ﬁnite intersection ð\Ga \ U6¼; HU Þ \ Ga is an open neighborhood of a: Since for every U 2 U; HU contains no point of U; and all but ﬁnite many U 2 U are outside Ga ; ð\Ga \ U6¼; HU Þ \ Ga contains no point of [fU : U 2 Ug: It follows that a is not h in ð[fU : U 2 UgÞ ; a contradiction. Deﬁnition Let X be a topological space. Let f : X ! Rk be any function. The closure fx : f ðxÞ 6¼ 0g of fx : f ðxÞ ¼ 6 0g is denoted by supp f ; and is called the support of f : Lemma 4.56 Let M be a 3-dimensional smooth manifold.

Since un : Un ! un ðUn Þ; and H : R3 ! ½0; 1 ; H un : Un ! ½0; 1 : Clearly, H un : Un ! ½0; 1 is smooth. (Reason: Take any p in Un : We have to prove that H un is smooth at p: For this purpose, let us take any admissible coordinate chart ðV; wÞ of M such that p 2 V: We have to prove that ðH un Þ w1 is smooth. Since ðUn ; un Þ; ðV; wÞ are admissible coordinate charts of M; and Un \ V is nonempty, un w1 is smooth. Since un w1 is smooth, and H is smooth, their composite H ðun w1 Þð¼ ðH un Þ w1 Þ is smooth, and hence, ðH un Þ w1 is smooth.) Since

the ordered pair ðu1 ðHuðpÞ Þ; uju1 ðHuðpÞ Þ Þ is a chart for M: Now, since ðuju1 ðHuðpÞ Þ Þ

ðu1 ðHuðpÞ ÞÞ ¼ HuðpÞ ; and HuðpÞ is open in R3 ; the chart ðu1 ðHuðpÞ Þ; uju1 ðHuðpÞ Þ Þ is an interior chart for M: Since ðu1 ðHuðpÞ Þ; uju1 ðHuðpÞ Þ Þ is an interior chart for M;

Similar results can be supplied for 4-dimensional topological manifolds with boundary, etc. Note 4.61 Let M be a topological n-manifold with boundary.

Thus, we have shown that a topological n-manifold M with boundary is a topological n-manifold if and only if oM ¼ ;: Sometimes, a manifold in the original sense is referred as manifold without boundary.

Here, Int M is contained in M: The topology of Int M is assumed to be the subspace topology of M: Since M is a topological n-manifold with boundary, the topology of M is Hausdorff, and second countable, and hence, the subspace topology over Int M is Hausdorff, and second countable. Next, let us take any p 2 Int M: Since p 2 Int M; p is an interior point of M; and hence, there exists an interior chart ðU; uÞ of M such that p 2 U: Since ðU; uÞ is an internal chart of M, ðU; uÞ is a chart of M; and uðUÞ is open in Rn : Since ðU; uÞ is a chart of M, U is open in M; and u : U ! uðUÞ is a homeomorphism. Since U is open in M; and Int M is open in M; U \ Int M is open in the topological space Int M: Since p 2 U; and p 2 Int M; p 2 U \ Int M: Thus, U \ Int M is an open neighborhood of p in the topological space Int M: Since U is open in M; and Int M is open in M; U \ Int M is open in M: Since U \ Int M; U are open in M; and U \ Int M U; U \ Int M is open in U: Since u : U ! uðUÞ is a homeomorphism, and U \ Int M is open in U; uðU \ Int MÞ is open in uðUÞ: Since uðU \ Int MÞ is open in uðUÞ; and uðUÞ is open in Rn ; uðU \ Int MÞ is open in Rn : Since U \ Int M is open in U; uðU \ Int MÞ is open in uðUÞ; and u : U ! uðUÞ is a homeomorphism, ujU \ IntM is a homeomorphism from U \ Int M onto uðU \ Int MÞ: Since U \ Int M is an open neighborhood of p in the topological space Int M; uðU \ Int MÞ is open in Rn ; and ujU \ IntM is a homeomorphism from U \ Int M onto uðU \ Int MÞ; the ordered pair ðU \ Int M; ujU \ IntM Þ is an interior chart of the topological space Int M: Also p 2 U \ Int M: This shows that Int M is a topological n-manifold without boundary. Note 4.64 Let M be a topological 3-manifold with boundary. We want to show that 1. oM is a closed subset of M, 2. oM is a topological 2-manifold without boundary. For 1: Since Int M is open in M; M Int M is closed in M: By the topological invariance of the boundary, oM ¼ M Int M: Since oM ¼ M Int M; and M Int M is closed in M; oM is a closed subset of M: For 2: Here, oM is contained in M: The topology of oM is assumed to be the subspace topology of M: Since M is a topological 3-manifold with boundary, the topology of M is Hausdorff, and second countable, and hence, the subspace topology over oM is Hausdorff, and second countable.

For c: Since uðUÞ is open in H3 ; and oH3 H3 ; uðUÞ \ oH3 is open in oH3 : This proves (c).

Since G \ðInt Hn Þð GÞ is open in Rn ; and f : G ! Rm ; it is meaningful to say “f jG \ðIntHn Þ is smooth in the usual sense.” We want to show that f jG \ðIntHn Þ is smooth in the usual sense. For this purpose, let us take any a in G \ðInt Hn Þ: We have to show that f jG \ðIntHn Þ is smooth at a in the usual sense. Since a is in G \ðInt Hn Þ; a is in G: Since a is in G; and f : G !

Immersions, Submersions, and Embeddings

The counterpart of “homeomorphism in topological spaces” and “linear isomorphism in real linear spaces” are the concepts of immersion, submersion, and embedding in smooth manifolds. Because a smooth manifold associates with a topological space together with a collection of linear spaces (i.e., tangent spaces at various points of manifold), there emerges different types of “homomorphisms” among smooth manifolds. Their deﬁnitions and various theorems on relationship between immersion, submersion, and embedding constitute a beautiful area of studies. In this chapter, we shall prove some of the important theorems on immersion, submersion, embedding, and its related notions. Deﬁnitely, the pace of this chapter is a bit slower for obvious reason.

5.1 Pointwise Pushforward Deﬁnition Let a 2 R3 : By R3a we mean the Cartesian product fag R3 : Members of R3a are called geometric tangent vectors in R3 at a, and R3a is called the geometric tangent space to R3 at a. A geometric tangent vector ða; vÞ in R3 at a is denoted by va or vja : We deﬁne vector addition and scalar multiplication over R3a as follows: va þ wa ðv þ wÞa ;

tðva Þ ðtvÞa :

Clearly, R3a becomes a real linear space. Here, the zero vector is ð0; 0; 0Þa ; and the negative vector of va is ðvÞa : It is easy to see that the mapping v 7! va is an isomorphism from R3 onto R3a ; and hence, R3 and R3a are isomorphic. Note 5.1 Since members of a smooth manifold M may not be added, the above deﬁnition of tangent space cannot be generalized. Observe that C1 ðR3 Þ is a real linear space under pointwise vector addition and scalar multiplication. Also, corresponding to each geometric tangent vector va in R3 at a, we can deﬁne a function Dv ja : C1 ðR3 Þ ! R as follows: For every f 2 C1 ðR3 Þ; © Springer India 2014 R.

Since dFp is linear, it sufﬁces to show that dFp is 1–1 and onto. dFp is 1–1: Let ðdFp ÞðvÞ ¼ ðdFp ÞðwÞ; where v; w are in Tp M: We have to prove that v ¼ w: Since dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N; and v is in Tp M; ðdFp ÞðvÞ is in TFðpÞ N; and hence, ðdFp ÞðvÞ : C1 ðNÞ ! R: Since v is in Tp M; v : C 1 ðMÞ ! R: Similarly, w : C 1 ðMÞ ! R: Now, we have to prove that v ¼ w; that is, for every f in C 1 ðMÞ; vðf Þ ¼ wðf Þ: For this purpose, let us take any f in C1 ðMÞ: Since f is in C1 ðMÞ; f : M ! R is smooth. Since F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism, F 1 : N ! M is smooth. Since F 1 : N ! M is smooth, and f : M ! R is smooth, their composite f ðF 1 Þ : N ! R is smooth, and hence, f ðF 1 Þ 2 C1 ðNÞ: Now, since ðdFp ÞðvÞ ¼ ðdFp ÞðwÞ; for every g in C 1 ðNÞ; vðg FÞ ¼ ððdFp ÞðvÞÞðgÞ ¼ ððdFp ÞðwÞÞðgÞ ¼ wðg FÞ: Since for every g in C1 ðNÞ; vðg FÞ ¼ wðg FÞ; and f ðF 1 Þ 2 C 1 ðNÞ; LHS ¼ vðf Þ ¼ vðf IdM Þ ¼ vðf ðF 1 FÞÞ ¼ vððf ðF 1 ÞÞ FÞ ¼ wððf ðF 1 ÞÞ FÞ ¼ wðf ðF 1 FÞÞ ¼ wðf IdM Þ ¼ wðf Þ ¼ RHS: Thus, we have shown that if F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism, then dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is an isomorphism. Note 5.11 Let M; N be smooth manifolds. Let F : M ! N be a diffeomorphism. Since F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism, F 1 : N ! M is a smooth map, and hence, dðF 1 ÞFðpÞ : TFðpÞ N ! Tp M is an isomorphism. Since dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is an isomorphism, ðdFp Þ1 : TFðpÞ N ! Tp M: Thus

Let p 2 M; v 2 Tp M: Let f ; g 2 C 1 ðMÞ: If there exists an open neighborhood U of p such that f jU ¼ gjU ; then vðf Þ ¼ vðgÞ: In short, we say that tangent vectors act “locally.” Proof Let U be an open neighborhood of p such that f jU ¼ gjU : We want to show that vðf Þ ¼ vðgÞ: Let us put h f g: Since f ; g 2 C1 ðMÞ; h ¼ f g 2 C 1 ðMÞ; and hence, h 2 C1 ðMÞ: Since f jU ¼ gjU ; hjU ¼ 0: Clearly, p 62 supp h: (Reason: If not, otherwise, let p 2 supp h: We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since p 2 supp h ¼ fx : hðxÞ 6¼ 0g ; and U is an open neighborhood of p; there exists t 2 M such that hðtÞ 6¼ 0; and t 2 U: Since t 2 U; and hjU ¼ 0; hðtÞ ¼ 0; a contradiction.) Since p 62 supp h; hðpÞ ¼ 0: Here, M is a smooth manifold, so M is Hausdorff. Since M is Hausdorff, and p 2 M; fpg is closed, and hence, M fpg is open: Since p 62 supp h; supp h M fpg: Here, supp h M fpg; supp h is a closed subset of M; M fpg is an open subset of M, so, by Lemma 4.58, there exists a smooth function w : M ! ½0; 1 such that w is a bump function for supp h supported in M fpg; and hence, 1. for every x in supp h; wðxÞ ¼ 1; 2. supp w M fpg: Since supp w M fpg; p 62 supp w; and hence, wðpÞ ¼ 0: Since w : M ! ½0; 1 is smooth, w 2 C 1 ðMÞ: Since w 2 C 1 ðMÞ; and h 2 C 1 ðMÞ; their product ðw hÞ 2 C 1 ðMÞ: Since v 2 Tp M; v : C 1 ðMÞ !

Note 5.15 Let M be a two-dimensional smooth manifold with differentiable structure A; and let N be a three-dimensional smooth manifold with differentiable structure B: Hence, the product manifold M N is a ð2 þ 3Þ-dimensional smooth manifold. Let ðp; qÞ 2 M N: Since ðp; qÞ 2 M N; p 2 M; and q 2 N: Since p 2 M; and M is a twodimensional smooth manifold, the tangent space Tp M is a two-dimensional real linear space. Similarly, Tq N is a three-dimensional real linear space, and the tangent space Tðp;qÞ ðM NÞ is a ð2 þ 3Þ-dimensional real linear space. Since Tp M is a twodimensional real linear space, and Tq N is a three-dimensional real linear space, their direct product Tp M Tp N is a ð2 þ 3Þ-dimensional real linear space. Let p1 : M N !

Since v 7! ðdðp1 Þðp;qÞ ÞðvÞ is linear, and v 7! ðdðp2 Þðp;qÞ ÞðvÞ is linear, v 7! ððdðp1 Þðp;qÞ ÞðvÞ; ðdðp2 Þðp;qÞ ÞðvÞÞ is linear, and hence, a : Tðp;qÞ ðM NÞ ! Tp M Tp N is linear. Similarly, we can show that let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and ðp; qÞ 2 M N: Deﬁne a : Tðp;qÞ ðM NÞ !

For this purpose, let us take any open set G in ui ðUi Þ: We have to show that u1 i ðGÞ is open in Ui : Since G is open in ui ðUi Þ; and ui ðUi Þ is open in Rm ; G is open in Rm ; 1 and hence, by the deﬁnition of O; for every i 2 I; u1 i ðGÞ 2 O: Since ui ðGÞ 2 O; 1 u1 i ðGÞ \ Ui is open in Ui : Since ui : Ui ! ui ðUi Þ; ui ðGÞ Ui ; and hence, 1 1 1 1 ui ðGÞ \ Ui ¼ ui ðGÞ: Since ui ðGÞ \ Ui ¼ ui ðGÞ; and u1 i ðGÞ \ Ui is open in Ui ; u1 ðGÞ is open in U : i i Thus, we have shown that for each i 2 I; ui : Ui ! ui ðUi Þ is continuous.

open set G in Ui : We have to show that ui ðGÞ is open in ui ðUi Þ: Since m fu1 j ðGÞ : j 2 I; and G is open in R g is a basis of the topological space ðM; OÞ; m fu1 j ðGÞ \ Ui : j 2 I; and G is open in R g is a basis of Ui : Now, it sufﬁces to prove that ui ðu1 j ðGÞ \ Ui Þ is open in ui ðUi Þ for every j 2 I; and for every G which is open in Rm : 1 Case I: when u1 j ðGÞ \ Ui ¼ ;. Here, ui ðuj ðGÞ \ Ui Þ ¼ ui ð;Þ ¼ ;; which is open in ui ðUi Þ: 1 1 Case II: when u1 j ðGÞ \ Ui 6¼ ;: Since uj ðGÞ Uj ; and uj ðGÞ \ Ui 6¼ ;; Uj \ 1 Ui 6¼ ;: Here, ui is 1–1, so ui ðu1 j ðGÞ \ Ui Þ ¼ ui ðuj ðGÞÞ \ ui ðUi Þ ¼ ðui 1 u1 j ÞðGÞ \ ui ðUi Þ: Since Uj \ Ui 6¼ ;; by the condition 3, ui uj is open. Since m 1 1 G is open in R ; and ui uj is open, ðui uj ÞðGÞ is open in Rm ; and hence, 1 ðui u1 j ÞðGÞ \ ui ðUi Þ is open in ui ðUi Þ: Since ðui uj ÞðGÞ \ ui ðUi Þ ð¼ ui 1 1 ðuj ðGÞ \ Ui ÞÞ is open in ui ðUi Þ; ui ðuj ðGÞ \Ui Þ is open in ui ðUi Þ:

Thus, in all cases, ui ðu1 j ðGÞ \ Ui Þ is open in ui ðUi Þ: This shows that ui is an open mapping. Thus, we have shown that ui : Ui ! ui ðUi Þ is a homeomorphism. It follows that for each i 2 I; the ordered pair ðUi ; ui Þ is a coordinate chart of M. Now, we want to show that the topology O of M is Hausdorff. For this purpose, let us take any two distinct points p, q in M. We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood G of p, and an open neighborhood G1 of q such that G; G1 are disjoint. Since p, q are distinct points of M, by condition 5, either ðthere exists i 2 I such that p; q 2 Ui Þ or ðthere exist i; j 2 I such that p 2 Ui ; q 2 Uj ; and Ui \ Uj ¼ ;Þ: Case I: when there exist i; j 2 I such that p 2 Ui ; q 2 Uj ; and Ui \ Uj ¼ ;. Since i 2 I; Ui 2 O: Since Ui 2 O; and p 2 Ui ; Ui is an open neighborhood of p in M: Similarly, Uj is an open neighborhood of q in M: Also, Ui \ Uj ¼ ;: Thus, we have found an open neighborhood Ui of p; and an open neighborhood Uj of q such that Ui ; Uj are disjoint. Case II: when there exists i 2 I such that p; q 2 Ui . Since ui : Ui ! ui ðUi Þ is continuous, ui is 1–1, and p; q are distinct elements of Ui ; ui ðpÞ; ui ðqÞ are distinct points of ui ðUi Þ: Since, by condition 1, ui ðUi Þ is open in Rm ; and ui ðpÞ; ui ðqÞ are distinct points of ui ðUi Þ; there exist an open neighborhood G1 of ui ðpÞ in Rm and an open neighborhood G2 of ui ðqÞ in Rm such that G1 ui ðUi Þ; G2 ui ðUi Þ; and G1 ; G2 are disjoint. Since ui : Ui ! ui ðUi Þ is continuous, and G1 is an open neighborhood of ui ðpÞ in Rm ; u1 i ðG1 Þ is an open neighborhood of p in Ui : Since u1 ðG Þ is an open neighborhood of p in Ui ; and 1 i Ui 2 O; u1 ðG Þ is an open neighborhood of p in M: Similarly, u1 1 i i ðG2 Þ is an 1 1 1 open neighborhood of q in M: Also, ui ðG1 Þ \ ui ðG2 Þ ¼ ui ðG1 \ G2 Þ ¼ 1 u1 i ð;Þ ¼ ;: Thus, we have found an open neighborhood ui ðG1 Þ of p, and an 1 1 1 open neighborhood ui ðG2 Þ of q such thatui ðG1 Þ; ui ðG2 Þ are disjoint. Thus, we see that, in all cases, there exist disjoint open neighborhoods of p and q. Hence, the topology O over M is Hausdorff.

Now, we want to show that the topology O of M is second countable. Observe that for every j 2 I; the subspace topology of Uj is second countable. (Reason: For every j 2 I; uj ðUj Þ is a subset of Rm : Since each uj ðUj Þ is a subset of Rm ; and the topology of Rm is second countable, the subspace topology of uj ðUj Þ is second countable. Since the topology of uj ðUj Þ is second countable, and uj : Uj ! uj ðUj Þ is a homeomorphism, the topology of Uj is second countable.) By condition 4, there exists a countable subcollection fUi1 ; Ui2 ; Ui3 ; . . .g of fUi gi2I such that fUi1 ; Ui2 ; Ui3 ; . . .g covers M: Since fUi1 ; Ui2 ; Ui3 ; . . .g is a subcollection of fUi gi2I ; and for each i 2 I; the topology of Ui is second countable, each Uik ðk ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .Þ is a second countable space, and hence, there exists a countable basis fVk1 ; Vk2 ; Vk3 ; . . .g of Uik : Since each Vkl is open in Uik ; and Uik 2 O; each Vkl 2 O: Observe that fVkl : k; l are positive integersg is a countable collection of open subsets of M. We shall try to show that fVkl : k; l are positive integersg is a basis of M. For this purpose, let us take any open neighborhood G of p in M. Since p 2 M; and fUi1 ; Ui2 ; Ui3 ; . . .g covers M, there exists a positive integer k such that p 2 Uik : Since p 2 Uik ; p 2 G; p 2 Uik \ G: Since G are open in M, Uik \ G is open in Uik : Thus, Uik \ G is an open neighborhood of p in Uik : Since Uik \ G is an open neighborhood of p in Uik ; and fVk1 ; Vk2 ; Vk3 ; . . .g is a basis of Uik ; there exists a positive integer l such that p 2 Vkl Uik \ G G: This shows that fVkl : k; l are positive integersg is a countable basis of M. Hence, the topology of M is second countable. Now, we want to show that M is an m-dimensional topological manifold. For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M: Since p 2 M; and fUi gi2I is a cover of M; there exists i0 2 I such that p 2 Ui0 : Here, ðUi0 ; ui0 Þ is a coordinate chart of M, and p 2 Ui0 : It follows that M is an m-dimensional topological manifold. Next, let B be the collection of all coordinate charts ðUi ; ui Þ; where i 2 I: We shall try to prove that B is an atlas on M: For this purpose, let us take any coordinate charts ðUi ; ui Þ; ðUj ; uj Þ, where Ui \ Uj 6¼ ;: We have to prove that uj u1 i : ui ðUi \ Uj Þ ! uj ðUi \ Uj Þ is smooth. Since Ui \ Uj 6¼ ;; by the condition 3, uj u1 i : ui ðUi \ Uj Þ ! uj ðUi \ Uj Þ is smooth. This proves that B is an atlas on M. Since B is an atlas on an m-dimensional topological manifold M, by Note 1.5, there exists a unique smooth differential structure A on M which contains B: h Deﬁnition Let‘fXi gi2I be any family of sets. The set fði; xÞ : i 2 I and x 2 Xi g is denoted by i2I Xi ; and is called the disjoint union of fXi gi2I . Thus, ‘ X ¼ [ ðfig Xi Þ: i i2I i2I Note 5.22 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold.

Thus, ðdFÞ1 ¼ dðF 1 Þ: Since ðdFÞ1 ¼ dðF 1 Þ; and dðF 1 Þ : TN ! TM is smooth, ðdFÞ1 : TN ! TMis smooth. This proves that if F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism, then dF : TM ! TN is a diffeomorphism. Note 5.28 Let M; N be smooth manifolds. Let F : M ! N be a diffeomorphism. From the Note 5.27, dF : TM ! TN is a diffeomorphism. Since dF : TM ! TN is a diffeomorphism, dF : TM !

Thus, ðdFÞ1 : TN ! TM; and dðF 1 Þ : TN !

Thus, for every f 2 C 1 ðMÞ; we have ðc0 ðt0 ÞÞðf Þ ¼ ðf cÞ0 ðt0 Þ: Here, cðt0 Þ 2 M; and M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, so there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uÞ of M such that cðt0 Þ 2 U: Let ! o o ; . . .; m ox1 cðt0 Þ ox cðt0 Þ be the coordinate basis of Tcðt0 Þ M corresponding to ðU; uÞ; where ! o o 1 d u uðcðt0 ÞÞ : oxi cðt0 Þ oxi uðcðt0 ÞÞ So the matrix representation of linear map dct0 is the following m 1 matrix: 3 dðp1 ðucÞÞ ðt Þ 0 dt 7 6 6 dðp2 ðucÞÞ ðt Þ 7 0 7 6 dt 7; 6 7 6 .. 5 4. dðpm ðucÞÞ ðt Þ 0 dt 2

Since ðU; uÞ is an admissible coordinate chart of M; u is a diffeomorphism from U onto uðUÞ; and hence, u1 is smooth. Since u1 is smooth, and t 7! ðtv1 ; . . .; tvm Þ is smooth, their composite t 7! u1 ðtv1 ; . . .; tvm Þð¼ cðtÞÞ is smooth, and hence, c is smooth.

n; dimððdFp ÞðTp MÞÞ minfm; ng: Here, dimððdFp ÞðTp MÞÞ is called the rank of F at p. It follows that the rank of F at p is r if and only if the matrix representation of linear map dFp has rank r. Clearly, the rank of F at p is less than or equal to minfm; ng: Observe that the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto if and only if dimððdFp ÞðTp MÞÞ ¼ dim TFðpÞ Nð¼ nÞ: Thus, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto if and only if the rank of F at p is n.

Observe that the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1 if and only if dimððdFp ÞðTp MÞÞ ¼ dim Tp Mð¼ mÞ: Thus, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1 if and only if the rank of F at p is m. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be a smooth map. Let k be a positive integer. If for every p 2 M; the rank of F at p is k, then we write rank F ¼ k; and say that F has constant rank k. Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an ndimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be a smooth map. Here, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto for every p 2 M if and only if the rank of F at p is n for every p 2 M: Thus, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto for every p 2 M if and only if rank F ¼ n: Note 5.32 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be a smooth map. Here, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1 for every p 2 M if and only if the rank of F at p is m for every p 2 M: Thus, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1 for every p 2 M if and only if rank F ¼ m: Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be a smooth map. If for every p 2 M; the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto, then we say that F is a smooth submersion. Thus, F is a smooth submersion if and only if rank F ¼ n: Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be a smooth map. If for every p 2 M; the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1, then we say that F is a smooth immersion. Thus, F is a smooth immersion if and only if rank F ¼ m:

We have to show that F(U) is open in N, that is, each member of F(U) is an interior point of F(U), that is, for every a in U, there exists an open neighborhood V of F(a) such that V FðUÞ. For this purpose, let us take any a in U. Since F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, and a is in M, there exists an open neighborhood U1 of a such that FðU1 Þ is open in N, and the restriction FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism. Since U; U1 are open neighborhoods of a, U \ U1 is an open neighborhood of a, and hence, U \ U1 is open in U1 . Since FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism, FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a homeomorphism. Since FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a homeomorphism, and U \ U1 is open in U1 , FjU1 ðU \ U1 Þð¼ FðU \ U1 ÞÞ is open in the open set FðU1 Þ, and hence, FðU \ U1 Þ is open in the open set FðU1 Þ. Since FðU \ U1 Þ is open in the open set FðU1 Þ, FðU \ U1 Þ is open in N. Since a is in U \ U1 , F(a) is in FðU \ U1 Þ. Thus, FðU \ U1 Þ is an open neighborhood of F(a). Also, FðU \ U1 Þ FðUÞ. Note 5.39 Let M, N, P be smooth manifolds. Let F : M ! N; and G : N ! P be local diffeomorphisms. We shall try to show that their composite G F : M ! P is a local diffeomorphism. Let us take any a 2 M. We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood U of a such that ðG FÞðUÞ is open in P, and the restriction ðG FÞjU : U ! ðG FÞðUÞ is a diffeomorphism. Since F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, and a 2 M, there exists an open neighborhood U1 of a such that FðU1 Þ is open in N, and the restriction FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism. Since FðaÞ 2 N, and G : N ! P is a local diffeomorphism, there exists an open neighborhood V of F(a) such that G(V) is open in P, and the restriction GjV : V ! GðVÞ is a diffeomorphism. Since FðU1 Þ is an open neighborhood of F(a), and V is an open neighborhood of F(a), FðU1 Þ \ V is an open neighborhood of F(a). Here, FðU1 Þ \ V is an open neighborhood of F(a) in FðU1 Þ, and FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism, ðFjU1 Þ1 ðFðU1 Þ \ VÞ is an open neighborhood of a, and FjðFj

First of all, we shall try to show that F : M ! N is continuous. For this purpose, let us take any a 2 M. Next, let us take any open neighborhood V of F(a). We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood U of a such that FðUÞ V: Since a 2 M, and F : M ! N is a local homeomorphism, there exists an open neighborhood U1 of a such that FðU1 Þ is open in N, and the restriction FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism. Here, FðU1 Þ is an open neighborhood of F(a), and V is an open neighborhood of F(a), so FðU1 Þ \ V is an open neighborhood of F (a), and hence, FðU1 Þ \ V is open in FðU1 Þ. Since FðU1 Þ \ V is open in FðU1 Þ, and FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism, ðFjU1 Þ1 ðFðU1 Þ \ VÞ is open in U1 , and hence, ðFjU1 Þ1 ðFðU1 Þ \ VÞ is open in M. Since a 2 U1 , ðFjU1 ÞðaÞ ¼

Since a 2 M1 M, a 2 M. Since a 2 M, and F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, there exists an open neighborhood U1 of a such that FðU1 Þ is open in N, and the restriction FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism. Since M1 is an open neighborhood of a, M1 \ U1 is an open neighborhood of a in U1 . Since M1 \ U1 is an open neighborhood of a in U1 , and FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism, ðFjU1 ÞðM1 \ U1 Þ is open in FðU1 Þ, and hence, ðFjU1 ÞðM1 \ U1 Þ is open in N. Clearly, ðFjM1 ÞðM1 \ U1 Þ is open in N.

Since a 2 M, and M is a smooth manifold, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uÞ of M such that a 2 U. Since F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism, F : M ! N is 1–1. Since F is 1–1, so FjU : U !

Now, it remains to be proved that: 1. FjU : U ! FðUÞ is smooth and 2. ðFjU Þ1 : FðUÞ ! U is smooth. For 1: Since F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism, F : M ! N is smooth. Since F : M !

Nis a diffeomorphism. Since F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, by Note 5.40, F : M ! N is a local homeomorphism, and hence, F : M ! N is continuous. Since F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, by Note 5.38, F : M ! N is an open map. Since F : M ! N is 1–1 onto, F : M ! N is continuous, and F : M ! N is an open map, F : M ! N is a homeomorphism. Now, we want to show that 1. F : M ! N is smooth, and 2. F 1 : N ! M is smooth. For 1: Let us ﬁx any a 2 M. We have to ﬁnd an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uÞ of M satisfying a 2 U, and an admissible coordinate chart ðV; wÞ of N satisfying FðaÞ 2 V such that w F u1 : uðU \ F 1 ðVÞÞ ! wðVÞ is smooth. Since a 2 M, and F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, there exists an open neighborhood U1 of a such that FðU1 Þ is an open neighborhood of F(a) in N, and the restriction FjU1 : U1 !

Since ðV2 ; w2 Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of N such that V2 is an open neighborhood of F(a), and FðU1 \ U2 Þ is an open neighborhood of F(a), V2 \ FðU1 \ U2 Þ is an open neighborhood of F(a). Since ðV2 ; w2 Þ is an admissible coordinate chart ðV2 ; w2 Þ of N, and V2 \ FðU1 \ U2 Þ is an open neighborhood of F (a), ðV2 \ FðU1 \ U2 Þ; w2 jV2 \FðU1 \U2 Þ Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of N such that FðaÞ 2 V2 \ FðU1 \ U2 Þ. Now, it remains to be showed that ðw2 jV2 \FðU1 \U2 Þ Þ F ðu2 jU1 \U2 Þ1 is smooth. Since FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is a diffeomorphism, FjU1 : U1 ! FðU1 Þ is smooth. Since FjU1 : U1 !

For 2: Since F : M ! N is 1–1 onto, F 1 : N ! M is 1–1 onto. Now, since F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, F 1 : N ! M is a local diffeomorphism. Since F 1 : N ! M is 1–1 onto and local diffeomorphism, as in 1, F 1 : N ! M is a diffeomorphism. Theorem 5.44 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold and N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold. Let F : M ! N be a local diffeomorphism. Then, F is a smooth immersion and smooth submersion. Proof We have to prove that rank F ¼ m, and rank F ¼ n, that is, for every p 2 M, the rank of F at p is m and m = n. For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M. Since p 2 M, and F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, there exists an open neighborhood U of p in M such that F(U) is open in N and the restriction FjU : U ! FðUÞ is a diffeomorphism. Since U is a nonempty open subset of M, and M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, U is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and hence, dim Tp U ¼ dim U ¼ m. Since F(U) is open in N, and N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, F(U) is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and hence dim TFðpÞ ðFðUÞÞ ¼ dimðFðUÞÞ ¼ n. Since FjU : U ! FðUÞ is a diffeomorphism, and p 2 U, the linear map dFp : Tp U ! TFðpÞ ðFðUÞÞ is an isomorphism. Since dFp : Tp U ! TFðpÞ ðFðUÞÞ is an isomorphism, dFp : Tp U ! TFðpÞ ðFðUÞÞ is 1–1, and hence, rank of F at p is dim Tp Uð¼ mÞ. Thus, for every p 2 M, the rank of F at p is m. Since dFp : Tp U ! TFðpÞ ðFðUÞÞ is an isomorphism, m ¼ dim Tp U ¼ dim TFðpÞ ðFðUÞÞ ¼ n. h Theorem 5.45 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold and N be an ndimensional smooth manifold. Let F : M ! N be a smooth immersion and smooth submersion map. Then, F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism.

Proof For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M. We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood U of p in M such that F(U) is open in N, and the restriction FjU : U ! FðUÞ is a diffeomorphism. Since p 2 M, and F : M ! N is a smooth immersion, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1. Since p 2 M, and F : M ! Nis a smooth submersion, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto. Since the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1 onto, m ¼ dim M ¼ dim Tp M ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ ¼ n. Since m = n, and N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, N is an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Since M, N are m-dimensional smooth manifolds, F : M ! N is a smooth map, and dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1 onto, by Theorem 5.36, there exists an open neighborhood U of p, and an open neighborhood V of F(p) such that FjU : U ! V is a diffeomorphism. Since FjU : U ! V is a diffeomorphism, FjU : U ! V is 1–1 onto, and hence, FðUÞ ¼ ðFjU ÞðUÞ ¼ V. Since FðUÞ ¼ V, and V is open, F(U) is open. Since FjU : U ! V is a diffeomorphism, and FðUÞ ¼ V, FjU : U ! FðUÞ is a diffeomorphism. Thus, U is an open neighborhood of p, F(U) is h open in N, and FjU : U ! FðUÞ is a diffeomorphism. Theorem 5.46 Let M, N be m-dimensional smooth manifolds. Let F : M ! N be a smooth immersion. Then, F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism. Proof We ﬁrst try to show that F : M ! N is a smooth submersion. For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M. We have to show that the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto. Since p 2 M, and F : M ! N is a smooth immersion, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1. Since dim Tp M ¼ dim M ¼ m ¼ dim N ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ, dim Tp M ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ. Since dim Tp M ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ, and the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1, dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto. Since F : M ! N is a smooth immersion and smooth submersion, by Theorem 5.45, F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism. h Theorem 5.47 Let M, N be m-dimensional smooth manifolds. Let F : M ! N be a smooth submersion. Then, F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism. Proof We ﬁrst try to show that F : M ! N is a smooth immersion. For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M. We have to show that the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1. Since p 2 M, and F : M ! N is a smooth submersion, the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto. Since dim Tp M ¼ dim M ¼ m ¼ dim N ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ, dim Tp M ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ. Since dim Tp M ¼ dimðTFðpÞ NÞ, and the linear map dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is onto, dFp : Tp M ! TFðpÞ N is 1–1. Since F : M ! N is a smooth submersion and smooth immersion, by Theorem 5.45, F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism. h Note 5.48 Before going ahead, let us recall the constant rank Theorem 4.9: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, F : M !

It follows that for every q 2 U, the rank of the matrix representation of the linear map dFq is r. Since for every q 2 U, the rank of F at q is equal to the rank of the matrix representation of the linear map dFq , and the rank of the matrix representation of the linear map dFq is r, the rank of F at q is r. Thus, we have shown that, corresponding to each p 2 M, there exist a positive integer r and an open neighborhood Up;r of p such that for every q 2 Up;r , the rank of F at q is r. Observe that f[p2M Up;r : r ¼ 1; 2; . . .; minfm; ngg is a ﬁnite partition of M into open sets. Since f[p2M Up;r : r ¼ 1; 2; . . .; minfm; ngg is a ﬁnite partition of M into open sets, and M is connected, f[p2M Up;r : r ¼ 1; 2; . . .; minfm; ngg is a singleton set.

Deﬁnition Let X be a topological space. If for every x 2 X, there exist an open neighborhood Ux of x and a compact set C such that Ux C, then we say that X is a locally compact space. Clearly, every compact space is locally compact. Note 5.52 Let M be an n-dimensional smooth manifold. We shall try to show that M is locally compact space. For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M.

Since x 2 X, and X is locally compact, there exist an open neighborhood Ux of x and a compact set C such that Ux C. Since Ux and G are open neighborhoods of x, Ux \ G is an open neighborhood of x. Clearly, Ux \ G C. Since C is compact, and X is Hausdorff, C is closed, and hence, C ¼ C. Since Ux \ G C, ðUx \ GÞ C ¼ C. Since ðUx \ GÞ C, C is compact, and ðUx \ GÞ is closed, ðUx \ GÞ is compact. Since Ux \ G is open, and ðUx \ GÞ is compact, Ux \ G is in B. Also, Ux \ G is an open neighborhood of x. This shows that B is a basis. If V 2 B, then, by the deﬁnition of B; V is compact. Note 5.54 Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Let G be a nonempty open subset of X. Then, we shall try to show that G is locally compact Hausdorff. Since the topology of X is Hausdorff, and G has subspace topology of X, the topology of G is Hausdorff. Now, we want to show that G is locally compact. For this purpose, let us take any x in G. We have to ﬁnd an open neighborhood Vx of x in G, and a compact subset C1 of G such that Vx C1 . Since x is in X, and X is locally compact, there exist an open neighborhood Ux of x in X and a compact subset C of X such that Ux C. Since Ux is an open neighborhood of x in X, Ux \ G is an open neighborhood of x in G. Now, we want to show that ðUx \ GÞ \ G is compact in G. Since C is compact, and X is Hausdorff, C is closed in X. Since C is closed in X, and Ux \ G C, ðUx \ GÞ C. Since ðUx \ GÞ C, C is compact, and ðUx \ GÞ is closed, ðUx \ GÞ is compact in X. Since ðUx \ GÞ is compact in X, and G is open in X, ðUx \ GÞ \ G is compact in G. It remains to be showed that Ux \ G ðUx \ GÞ \ G. Since Ux \ G ðUx \ GÞ , and Ux \ G G, Ux \ G ðUx \ GÞ \ G.

Note 5.56 Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Let x 2 X. Let G be an open neighborhood of x. We shall try to show that there exists an open neighborhood Vx of x such that Vx G, and Vx is compact. Since X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, and G is a nonempty open subset of X, by Note 5.54, G is a locally compact Hausdorff space. Since G is a locally compact Hausdorff space, and x 2 G, there exist an open neighborhood Vx of x in G and a compact subset C of G such that Vx C. Since Vx is open in G, and G is open in X, Vx is open in X. Since Vx is open in X, and x 2 Vx , Vx is an open neighborhood of x in G. Since C is a compact subset of G, and G X, C is a compact subset of X. Since C is a compact subset of X, and X is a Hausdorff space, C is a closed subset of X. Since C is a closed subset of X, and Vx C, Vx C G. Since Vx C; Vx is closed, and C is a compact subset of X, Vx is a compact subset of X. This result is known as the shrinking lemma.

Since each ðFn Þ is open, and 1 n Þ Þ ¼ X, fðFn Þ g is an n¼1 c open cover of X.

Since Va is an open neighborhood of a, and U1 is open, Va \ U1 is open. Since Va is an open neighborhood of a, and U1 is dense, Va \ U1 is nonempty. Since Va \ U1 is a nonempty open subset of X, and X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, there exists a nonempty open set W1 such that W1 Va \ U1 , and W1 is compact. Here, W1 W1 Va \ U1 . Since W1 is a nonempty open subset of X, and U2 is open and dense, W1 \ U2 is a nonempty open subset of X. Since W1 \ U2 is a nonempty open subset of X, and X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, there exists a nonempty open set W2 such that W2 W1 \ U2 , and W2 is compact. Clearly, W2 W1 W1 . Also, W1 ; W2 are nonempty closed sets. Here, W2 W2 W1 \ U2 ðVa \ U1 Þ \ U2 ¼ Va \ ðU1 \ U2 Þ. Since W2 is a nonempty open subset of X, and U3 is open and dense, W2 \ U3 is a nonempty open subset of X. Since W2 \ U3 is a nonempty open subset of X, and X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, there exists a nonempty open set W3 such that W3 W2 \ U3 , and W3 is compact. Clearly, W3 W2 W2 . Also, W1 ; W2 ; W3 are nonempty closed sets. Here, W3 W3 W2 \ U3 ðVa \ ðU1 \ U2 ÞÞ \ U3 ¼ Va \ ðU1 \ U2 \ U3 Þ, etc. Thus, we get a decreasing sequence fWn g of nonempty closed subsets of a T compact set W1 . Hence, by Note 5.57, 1 W V \ n¼1 ðWn Þ is nonempty. Since T1 1 a U1 ; W2 Va \ ðU1 \ U2 Þ; W3 Va \ ðU1 \ U2 \ U3 Þ, etc., ; n¼1 ðWn Þ T T1 h Va \ ð 1 n¼1 Un Þ ¼ ;. It follows that n¼1 ðWn Þ is empty, a contradiction. Deﬁnition Let X be a topological space. Let A be any subset of X. If A contains no nonempty open set, then we say that A is nowhere dense. Theorem 5.59 Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Let fAn g be a S sequence of nowhere dense subsets of X. Then, 1 A has no interior point. n n¼1 Proof For every n, An is nowhere dense, so ; ¼ ððAn Þ Þo ¼ ððððAn Þ Þc Þ Þc , and hence,TðððAn Þ Þc Þ ¼ X.S It follows that ððAn Þ Þc is an open dense set.SSo, by Theorem 1 c c 5.58, n¼1 ððAn Þ Þ ð¼ ð 1 ðA Þ Þc Þ is dense, and hence, X ¼ ðð 1 n¼1 ðAn Þ Þ Þ . S1 S1 n¼1 n c c o h It follows that ; ¼ ððð n¼1 ðAn Þ Þ Þ Þ ¼ ð n¼1 ðAn Þ Þ . This theorem is known as Baire category theorem. Theorem 5.60 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be smooth. Let F has constant rank r. Let F : M ! N be onto. Then, F is a smooth submersion. Proof We have to prove that rank F ¼ n. If not, otherwise, let r rank F\n. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Here, r rank F\n, so n − r is a positive integer. Let us take any p 2 M. By the constant rank theorem, there exist an admissible coordinate chart ðUp ; up Þ in M satisfying p 2 Up and an admissible coordinate chart ðVFðpÞ ; wFðpÞ Þ in

5.7 Global Rank Theorem Theorem 5.62 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be smooth. Let F has constant rank. Let F : M ! N be 1–1 and onto. Then, F is a diffeomorphism. Proof Since F : M ! N is onto, by Theorem 5.60, F is a smooth submersion. Since F : M ! N is 1–1, by Theorem 5.61, F is a smooth immersion. Since F : M ! N is submersion, and immersion, by Theorem 5.45, F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism. Since F : M ! N is a local diffeomorphism, 1–1, and onto, by Note 5.43, F : M ! N is a diffeomorphism. h Note 5.63 Theorems 5.60, 5.61, and 5.62 together are known as the global rank theorem. Deﬁnition Let X, Y be topological spaces. Let F : X ! Y be a mapping. If F is 1–1 and continuous map, and F is a homeomorphism from X onto F(X), where F(X) has the subspace topology of Y, then we say that F is a topological embedding. Note 5.64 Let X, Y be topological spaces. Let F : X ! Y be a mapping. Let F be 1–1 and continuous. Let F be an open mapping, that is, for every open subset U of X, F(U) is open in Y. We shall try to show that F : X ! Y is a topological embedding. Here, let us take any open subset U of X. It remains to be proved that F(U) is open in F(X). Since U is open in X, and F is an open mapping, F(U) is open in Y. Since F(U) is open in Y, FðUÞ \ FðXÞ is open in F(X). Since FðUÞ FðXÞ, FðUÞ \ FðXÞ ¼ FðUÞ. Since FðUÞ \ FðXÞ ¼ FðUÞ, and FðUÞ \ FðXÞ is open in F (X), F(U) is open in F(X). Note 5.65 Let X, Y be topological spaces. Let F : X ! Y be a mapping. Let F be 1–1 and continuous. Let F be a closed mapping, that is, for every closed subset A of X, F(A) is closed in Y. We shall try to show that F : X ! Y is a topological embedding. Here, let us take any open subset U of X. It remains to be proved that F(U) is open in F(X). Since U is open in X, the complement U c of U is closed in X. Since U c is closed in X, and F is a closed mapping, FðU c Þ is closed in Y. Since FðU c Þ is closed in Y, and FðU c Þ FðXÞ, FðU c Þ \ FðXÞð¼ FðU c ÞÞ is closed in F(X), and hence, FðU c Þ is closed in F(X). Since FðU c Þ is closed in F(X), FðXÞ FðU c Þ is open in F(X). Since F : X ! Y is 1–1, FðXÞ FðU c Þ ¼ FðX U c Þ ¼ FðUÞ. Since FðXÞ FðU c Þ ¼ FðUÞ, and FðXÞ FðU c Þ is open in F(X), F(U) is open in F(X). Note 5.66 Let X be a compact space and Y be a Hausdorff space. Let F : X ! Y be a continuous mapping and F be 1–1. We shall try to show that F : X ! Y is a topological embedding. First of all, we shall try to show that F : X ! Y is a closed map. For this purpose, let us take any closed subset A of X. We have to show that F(A) is closed in Y. Since A is closed in the compact set X, A is compact. Since A is compact, and

5.7 Global Rank Theorem

383

F : X ! Y is continuous, F(A) is compact. Since F(A) is a compact subset of Y, and Y is Hausdorff, F(A) is a closed subset of Y. Thus, F : X ! Y is a closed map. Since F : X ! Y is 1–1, continuous, and closed, by the above note, F : X ! Y is a topological embedding. This result is known as closed map lemma. Deﬁnition Let X, Y be topological spaces. Let F : X ! Y be a mapping. If for every compact subset C of Y, F 1 ðCÞ is compact in X, then we say that F : X ! Y is a proper map. Note 5.67 Let X be a Hausdorff topological space and Y be a Hausdorff locally compact space. Let F : X ! Y be a continuous mapping. Let F be a proper map. We shall try to show that F is a closed mapping. For this purpose, let us take any closed subset A of X. We have to show that F(A) is closed in Y. If not, otherwise, let F(A) be not closed. We have to arrive at a contradiction. Since F(A) is not closed, there exists b 2 Y such that b is a limit point of F(A), and b 62 FðAÞ. Since b 2 Y, and Y is a Hausdorff locally compact space, there exists an open neighborhood Ub of b such that Ub is compact. Clearly, b is a limiting point of FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ: (Reason: Let us take any open neighborhood Vb of b. It follows that Vb \ Ub is an open neighborhood of b. Since Vb \ Ub is an open neighborhood of b, and b is a limit point of F(A), there exists a point c 2 Vb \ Ub , and c 2 FðAÞ. Here, c 2 Vb \ Ub , so c 2 Ub ð ðUb ÞÞ, and hence, c 2 ðUb Þ. Since c 2 ðUb Þ, and c 2 FðAÞ, c 2 FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ. Also, since c 2 Vb \ Ub , c 2 Vb . Since c 2 FðAÞ, and b 62 FðAÞ, c 6¼ b. This shows that b is a limiting point of FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ.) Since F : X ! Y is a continuous mapping, F is a proper map, and Ub is a compact subset of Y, F 1 ðUb Þ is a compact subset of X. Since F 1 ðUb Þ is a compact subset of X, and the topology of X is Hausdorff, F 1 ðUb Þ is a closed subset of X. Since F 1 ðUb Þ is a closed subset of X, and A is a closed subset of X, F 1 ðUb Þ \ A is a closed subset of X. Since F 1 ðUb Þ \ A is a closed subset of compact set F 1 ðUb Þ, F 1 ðUb Þ \ A is compact. Since F 1 ðUb Þ \ A is a compact subset of X, and F : X ! Y is a continuous mapping, FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ is compact. Clearly, FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ ¼ FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ: (Reason: LHS ¼ FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ FðF 1 ðUb ÞÞ \ FðAÞ ðUb Þ \ FðAÞ ¼ FðAÞ\ ðUb Þ ¼ RHS. Next, let us take any y 2 FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ. We have to show that y 2 FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ. Since y 2 FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ, y 2 ðUb Þ, and there exists x 2 A such that FðxÞ ¼ y. Since FðxÞ ¼ y 2 ðUb Þ, x 2 F 1 ðUb Þ. Since x 2 F 1 ðUb Þ, and x 2 A, x 2 F 1 ðUb Þ \ A. Therefore, y ¼ FðxÞ 2 FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ.) Since FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ ¼ FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ, and FðF 1 ðUb Þ \ AÞ is compact, FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ is compact. Since FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ is a compact subset of Y, and the topology of Y is Hausdorff, FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ is closed. Since FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ is closed, and b is a limiting point of FðAÞ \ ðUb Þ, b 2 FðAÞ \ ðUb Þð FðAÞÞ, and hence, b 2 FðAÞ. This is a contradiction.

Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F : M ! N be smooth. If F is a smooth immersion, and F : M ! N is a topological embedding, then we say that F is a smooth embedding of M into N. Note 5.68 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, P be a p-dimensional smooth manifold, F : M ! N be a smooth embedding, and G : N ! P be a smooth embedding. We shall try to show that the composite map G F : M ! P is a smooth embedding, that is, 1. G F : M ! P is a smooth immersion, and 2. G F : M ! P is a topological embedding. For 1: We have to show that G F : M ! P is a smooth immersion. For this purpose, let us take any a 2 M: We have to show that the linear map dðG FÞa : Ta M ! TðGFÞðaÞ P is 1–1. Since F : M ! N is a smooth embedding, F : M ! N is a smooth immersion. Since F : M ! N is a smooth immersion, and a 2 M; the linear map dFa : Ta M ! TFðaÞ N is 1–1. Since G : N ! P is a smooth embedding, G : N ! P is a smooth immersion. Since G : N ! P is a smooth immersion, and FðaÞ 2 N; the linear map dGFðaÞ : TFðaÞ N ! TGðFðaÞÞ P is 1–1. Since dGFðaÞ : TFðaÞ N ! TGðFðaÞÞ P is 1–1, and dFa : Ta M ! TFðaÞ N is 1–1, their composite ðdGFðaÞ Þ ðdFa Þð¼ dðG FÞa Þ is 1–1, and hence, dðG FÞa is 1–1. For 2: Here, we have to prove that G F : M ! P is a topological embedding, that is, (a) G F : M ! P is 1–1. (b) G F : M ! P is continuous. (c) G F is a homeomorphism from M onto ðG FÞðMÞ; where the topology of ðG FÞðMÞ is the subspace topology of P. For a: Since F : M ! N is a smooth embedding, F : M ! N is a topological embedding, and hence, F : M ! N is 1–1. Similarly, G : N ! P is 1–1. Since F : M ! N is 1–1, and G : N ! P is 1–1, their composite G F : M ! P is 1–1. For b: Since F : M ! N is a smooth embedding, F : M ! N is a topological embedding, and hence, F : M ! N is continuous. Similarly, G : N ! P is continuous. Since F : M !

N is a smooth embedding. We ﬁrst try to show that F : M ! N is proper map. For this purpose, let us take any compact subset C of N. We have to show that F 1 ðCÞ is compact in M. Since C is compact in N, and the topology of N is Hausdorff, C is closed. Since F : M ! N is smooth, F : M ! N is continuous. Since F : M ! N is continuous, and C is a closed subset of N, F 1 ðCÞ is closed in M. Since F 1 ðCÞ is closed in M, and M is compact, F 1 ðCÞ is compact in M. This shows that F : M ! N is proper map. Since F : M !

Suppose that for every p 2 M, there exists an open neighborhood U of p such that the restriction FjU : U ! N is a smooth embedding. Then, F : M ! N is a smooth immersion. Proof We have to show that F : M ! N is a smooth immersion, that is, rank F ¼ m; that is, for every p 2 M; the rank of F at p is m. For this purpose, let us take any p 2 M: By the given condition, there exists an open neighborhood U of p such that the restriction FjU : U ! N is a smooth embedding. Since FjU : U !

Now, we want to show that F : N ! P is smooth. Since F p1 ¼ p2 ; and p2 is smooth, F p1 is smooth. Since p1 : M ! N is a smooth submersion onto map, and F p1 is smooth, by Theorem 25, F is smooth. Lastly, we have to show that F 1 : P ! N is smooth. Since F p1 ¼ p2 ; and F is 1–1 onto, F 1 p2 ¼ p1 : Since F 1 p2 ¼ p1 ; and p1 is smooth, F 1 p2 is smooth. Since p2 : M ! P is a smooth submersion onto map, and F 1 p2 is smooth, by Theorem 5.81, F 1 is smooth. Thus, we have shown that F : N !

Note 5.84 Before going ahead, let us recall the deﬁnition of open submanifold of M: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, whose topology is O; and differential structure is A: Let G be a nonempty open subset of M. Let O1 be the subspace topology over G inherited from M, that is, O1 ¼ fG1 : G1 G; and G1 2 Og: Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a Hausdorff space. Since M is a Hausdorff space, and G is a subspace of M, G with the subspace topology is a Hausdorff space. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a second countable space. Since M is a second countable space, and G is a subspace of M, G with the subspace topology is a second countable space. Put AG fðU; uÞ : ðU; uÞ 2 A; and U Gg: Now, we shall try to show that AG is an atlas on G, that is, 1. [fU : ðU; uU Þ is in AG g ¼ G; 2. all pairs of members in AG are C 1 compatible. For (1): By the deﬁnition of AG ; it is clear that [fU : ðU; uÞ is in AG g G: So, it remains to be proved that G [fU : ðU; uÞ is in AG g: For this purpose, let us take any p in G. Since p is in G, and G is a subset of M, p is in M. Since p is in M, and M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, there exists ðU; uÞ in A such that p is in U. Since ðU; uÞ is in A; U is an open subset of M. Since U is open, and G is open, U \ G is open. Thus, U \ G is an open neighborhood of p: We shall try to show that ðU \ G; ujðU\GÞ Þ is in AG ; that is, ðU \ G; ujðU\GÞ Þ 2 A; and U \ G G: Since U \ G G; it remains to be showed that ðU \ G; ujðU\GÞ Þ 2 A: Since ðU; uÞ is in A; ðU; uU Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M. Now, since U \ G is a nonempty open subset of U, by the Lemma 1, ðU \ G; ujðU\GÞ Þ is an admissible coordinate chart of M, and hence, ðU \ G; ujðU\GÞ Þ 2 A: For (2): Let us take any ðU; uÞ; ðV; wÞ 2 AG : We have to show that ðU; uÞ andðV; wÞ are C1 compatible. Since ðU; uÞ 2 AG , by the deﬁnition of AG ; ðU; uÞ 2 A: Similarly, ðV; wÞ 2 A: Since ðU; uÞ 2 A; ðV; wÞ 2 A; and A is a differential structure, ðU; uÞ and ðV; wÞ are C 1 compatible. Thus, we have shown that AG is an atlas on G. Hence, AG determines a unique smooth structure on G. Thus, the open subset G of smooth manifold M becomes an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Here, G is called an open submanifold of M: Note 5.85 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure A: Let G be a nonempty open subset of M. In the open submanifold G of M; the smooth structure of G is determined by the atlas fðU; uÞ : ðU; uÞ 2 A; and U Gg of G. Thus, G becomes an m-dimensional smooth manifold.

We shall try to show that the inclusion map i : G ! M (that is, for every x in G, iðxÞ x) is a smooth embedding. Since i : G ! M is the identity mapping IdG ; and IdG is smooth, i : G ! M is smooth. Now, we want to show that i : G ! M is a smooth immersion, that is, for every p 2 G; the linear map dip : Tp G ! TiðpÞ M is 1–1. For this purpose, let us ﬁx any p 2 G: We have to show that the linear map dip : Tp G ! TiðpÞ M is 1–1. Clearly, Tp G ¼ Tp M; and TiðpÞ M ¼ Tp M: So we have to show that the linear map dip : Tp M ! Tp M is 1–1. Here, i ¼ IdG ; so we have to show that the linear map dðIdG Þp : Tp M ! Tp M is 1–1. Since dðIdG Þp ¼ IdTp G ¼ IdTp M ; and IdTp M : Tp M ! Tp M is 1–1, dðIdG Þp : Tp M ! Tp M is 1–1. Thus, we have shown that i : G ! M is a smooth immersion. Also, clearly i : G ! M is 1–1. Since G is open in M, i : G ! M is an open map. Since i : G ! M is a 1–1 immersion, and open, by Note 5.69, i : G ! M is a smooth embedding. Conclusion: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let G be a nonempty subset of M. If G is open in M, then there exists an m-dimensional smooth structure on G such that the inclusion map i : G ! M is a smooth embedding. Now, we want to prove its converse part: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let G be a nonempty subset of M. Let G be endowed with the subspace topology of M. Suppose there exists an m-dimensional smooth structure A on G such that the inclusion map i : G ! M is a smooth embedding. We shall try to show that G is open in M. Since i : G ! M is a smooth embedding, i : G ! M is a smooth immersion. Since G; M are m-dimensional smooth manifolds, and i : G ! M is a smooth immersion, by Theorem 5.46, i : G ! M is a local diffeomorphism. Since i : G ! M is a local diffeomorphism, by Note 5.38, i : G ! M is an open map. Since i : G ! M is an open map, Gð¼ iðGÞÞ is an open subset of M. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be endowed with the subspace topology of M. Let k be a nonnegative integer. If there exists an (m − k)-dimensional smooth structure A on S; such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, then we say that S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k. Here, we also say that M is an ambient manifold for S. From the Note 5.85, we can write: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be endowed with the subspace topology of M. S is open in M if and only if S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension 0. In this sense, we say that the open submanifolds of M are exactly the embedded submanifolds of M with codimension 0.

Note 5.86 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure A, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure B, and F : N ! M be a smooth embedding. Let FðNÞð MÞ be endowed with the subspace topology of M. Since F : N ! M is a smooth embedding, F : N ! M is a topological embedding, and hence, F : N ! FðNÞ is a homeomorphism. Since F : N ! FðNÞ is a homeomorphism, N is homeomorphic to F(N). Since N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, N is an n-dimensional topological manifold. Since N is an n-dimensional topological manifold, and N is homeomorphic to F(N), F(N) is an n-dimensional topological manifold. Let us take any ðU; uÞ 2 B: We shall try to show that ðFðUÞ; u ðF 1 ÞÞ is a coordinate chart of F(N). Clearly, F(U) is open in F(N). (Reason: Since ðU; uÞ 2 B; and B is a smooth structure on N, U is open in N. Since F : N ! FðNÞ is a homeomorphism, and U is open in N, F(U) is open in F(N).) Here, ðU; uÞ 2 B; and B is a smooth structure on N, uðUÞ is open in Rn : Since u : U ! uðUÞ; U N; and F : N ! M is 1–1, u ðF 1 Þ is a function whose domain is FðUÞ: Since u : U ! uðUÞ is onto, U N; and F : N ! M is 1–1, the range of u ðF 1 Þ is uðUÞ: Since u : U ! uðUÞ is 1–1, U N; and F : N ! M is 1–1, u ðF 1 Þ : FðUÞ ! uðUÞ is 1–1. Thus, we see that u ðF 1 Þ is a 1–1 mapping from open subset FðUÞ of FðNÞ onto open subset uðUÞ of Rn : Now, we shall try to show that u ðF 1 Þ : FðUÞ ! uðUÞ is continuous. Since F : N ! M is a topological embedding, F is a homeomorphism from and 1–1. Since F 1 : N onto F(N), and hence, F 1 : FðNÞ ! N is continuous 1 FðNÞ ! N is continuous and 1–1, its restriction ðF Þ FðUÞ : FðUÞ ! U is contin uous. Since F : N ! M is 1–1, ðF 1 ÞFðUÞ ¼ ðFjU Þ1 : Since ðF 1 ÞFðUÞ ¼ ðFjU Þ1 ; and ðF 1 ÞFðUÞ : FðUÞ ! U is continuous, ðFjU Þ1 : FðUÞ ! U is continuous. Since ðFjU Þ1 : FðUÞ ! U is continuous, and u : U ! uðUÞ is continuous, their composite u ððFjU Þ1 Þ : FðUÞ ! uðUÞ is continuous. Further, since u ððFjU Þ1 Þ ¼ u ðF 1 Þ; u ðF 1 Þ : FðUÞ ! uðUÞ is continuous. Now, we shall try to show that F ðu1 Þ : uðUÞ ! FðUÞ is continuous. Since ðU; uÞ 2 B; and B is a smooth structure on N; u1 : uðUÞ ! U is continuous and 1–1. Since F : N ! M is a smooth embedding, F : N ! M is continuous. Since F : N ! M is continuous, and u1 : uðUÞ ! U is continuous and 1–1, F ðu1 Þ : uðUÞ ! FðUÞ is continuous. Also, ðu ðF 1 ÞÞ1 ¼ F ðu1 Þ: It follows that ðu ðF 1 ÞÞ1 : uðUÞ ! FðUÞ is continuous. Thus, we have shown that ðFðUÞ; u ðF 1 ÞÞ is a coordinate chart of F(N).

Hence, dFq : Tq M ! TFðqÞ ðM NÞ is 1–1. Thus, F is a smooth immersion. Thus, we have shown that F : G ! M N is a smooth embedding. Since F : G ! M N is a smooth embedding, by Note 5.90, FðGÞð¼ Cðf ÞÞ is an embedded submanifold of M N with codimension ðm þ nÞ mð¼ nÞ; and F(N) is diffeomorphic to M. Thus, we have shown that Cðf Þ is an embedded submanifold of M × N with codimension n, and Cðf Þ is diffeomorphic to G. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be endowed with the subspace topology of M. Let k be a nonnegative integer. Let S be an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k. If the inclusion map i : S ! M is a proper map, then we say that S is properly embedded. Note 5.92 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be properly embedded. We shall try to show that S is a closed subset of M. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is a Hausdorff locally compact space. Since S is a nonempty subset of M, and the topology of M is Hausdorff, the subspace topology of S is Hausdorff. Since S is properly embedded, i : S ! M is a proper map. Since S is a Hausdorff topological space, M is a Hausdorff locally compact space, i : S ! M is a continuous mapping, and ι is a proper map, by Note 5.67, i : S ! M is a closed mapping, and hence, iðSÞð¼ SÞ is closed in M. Thus, S is closed in M. Note 5.93 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty closed subset of M. Let S be an embedded submanifold of M. We shall try to show that S is properly embedded, that is, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a proper map, that is, for every compact subset C of M, i1 ðCÞð¼ C \ SÞ is compact in S. For this purpose, let us take any compact subset C of M. We have to show that C \ S is compact in S. Let fGi gi2I be any open cover of C \ S: Here each Gi is open in S; there exists an open subset Hi of M such that Gi ¼ Hi \ S: Since for each i 2 I; Gi ¼ Hi \ S; and S is a closed subset of M, fHi gi2I [ fSc g is an open cover of C in M.

Since fHi gi2I [ fSc g is an open cover of C in M, and C is a compact subset of M, there exist i1 ; . . .; ik 2 I such that C Hi1 [ [ Hik [ Sc ; and hence, C \ S ðHi1 [ [ Hik [ Sc Þ \ S ¼ ðHi1 \ SÞ [ [ ðHik \ SÞ [ðSc \ SÞ ¼ ðHi1 \ SÞ [ [ðHik \ SÞ ¼ Gi1 [ [ Gik : This shows that C \ S is compact in S. Thus, we have shown that S is properly embedded. Note 5.94 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty compact subset of M. Let S be an embedded submanifold of M. We shall try to show that S is properly embedded. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, the topology of M is Hausdorff. Since the topology of M is Hausdorff, and S is a nonempty compact subset of M, S is closed in M. Since S is closed in M, by the Note 5.92, S is properly embedded. Note 5.95 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure A; and N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure B: Here, the collection fðU V; ðu wÞÞ : ðU; uÞ 2 A; ðV; wÞ 2 Bg is an atlas of the ðm þ nÞ-dimensional product manifold M N: Let f : M ! N be a smooth map. Here, the graph of f is given by Cðf Þ fðx; f ðxÞÞ : x 2 Mg: By Note 5.91, Cðf Þ is an embedded submanifold of M N with codimension n; and Cðf Þ is diffeomorphic to M. Now, we want to show that Cðf Þ is a closed subset of M N; that is ðCðf ÞÞc is open in M N: For this purpose, let us take any point ðx; yÞ 2 ðCðf ÞÞc : Since ðx; yÞ 2 ðCðf ÞÞc ; ðx; yÞ 62 Cðf Þ ¼ fðx; f ðxÞÞ : x 2 Mg: It follows that y 6¼ f ðxÞ: Here, y; f ðxÞ are distinct points of N, and in the topology of N, there exist an open neighborhood V1 of y, and an open neighborhood V of f(x) such that V1 and V are disjoint. Since f : M ! N is a smooth map, f : M ! N is a continuous map. Since f : M ! N is a continuous map, and V is an open neighborhood of f(x), there exists an open neighborhood U of x such that f ðUÞ V: Here, U is an open neighborhood of x, and V1 is an open neighborhood of y, U × V1 is an open neighborhood of (x, y) in M × N. Clearly, U × V1 is disjoint with Cðf Þ: (Reason: If not, otherwise, let ða; bÞ 2 U V1 ; and ða; bÞ 2 Cðf Þ: Since ða; bÞ 2 Cðf Þ; f ðaÞ ¼ b: Since ða; bÞ 2 U V1 ; a 2 U; and b 2 V1 : Since f ðaÞ ¼ b 2 V1 ; f ðaÞ 2 V1 : Since a 2 U; f ðaÞ 2 f ðUÞ V; and hence, f ðaÞ 2 V: Since f ðaÞ 2 V1 ; and f ðaÞ 2 V; V1 and V are not disjoint, a contradiction.) Since U × V1 is disjoint with Cðf Þ; the open neighborhood U × V1 of (x, y) contained in ðCðf ÞÞc : Thus, (x, y) is an interior point of ðCðf ÞÞc : Hence, ðCðf ÞÞc is open in M × N. Thus, Cðf Þ is a closed subset of M × N. Since Cðf Þ is an embedded submanifold of M × N, and Cðf Þ is a closed subset of M × N, by Note 5.93, Cðf Þ is properly embedded. Conclusion: Let M; N be smooth manifolds. Let f : M ! N be a smooth map. Then, Cðf Þ is properly embedded in M N:

Note 5.96 Let M be a ﬁve-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty subset of M. Suppose that S satisﬁes local two-slice condition. Let S has the subspace topology inherited from M. We shall try to show that S is a two-dimensional topological manifold. Since M is a smooth manifold, its topology is Hausdorff. Since the topology of M is Hausdorff, and S has the subspace topology inherited from M, the topology of S is Hausdorff. Since M is a smooth manifold, its topology is second countable. Since the topology of M is second countable, and S has the subspace topology inherited from M, the topology of S is second countable. Next, let us take any p ∊ S. Since S satisﬁes local two-slice condition, there exists an admissible coordinate chart ðU; uÞ of M satisfying p 2 U; and U \ S is a twoslice of U. Since ðU; uÞ is an admissible coordinate chart of M, U is open in M, and hence, U \ S is open in S. Since ðU; uÞ is an admissible coordinate chart of ﬁvedimensional smooth manifold M; uðUÞ is an open subset of R5 : Since U \ S is a two-slice of U, for deﬁniteness, let U \ S ¼ u1 ðfðx1 ; x2 ; x3 ; x4 ; x5 Þ 2 uðUÞ : x3 ¼ a3 ; x4 ¼ a4 ; x5 ¼ a5 gÞ; where a3 ; a4 ; a5 are constants.

an embedded submanifold of M, by Note 5.93, U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M, and its codimension is 2. Note 5.99 The following result can be proved as in Note 5.98: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Let r be the rank of U: Let c 2 N: Then, the level set U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M, and its codimension is r. Note 5.100 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth submersion. Let c 2 N: We shall try to show that the level set U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M, and its codimension is n. Since U : M ! N is a smooth submersion, U : M ! N is a smooth map, and rank U ¼ n: Since U : M ! N is a smooth map, and rank U ¼ n; by Note 5.99, the level set U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M, and its codimension is n. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Let p 2 M: If dUp : Tp M ! TUðpÞ N is onto (that is, the rank of U at p is n), then we say that p is a regular point of U: If p is not a regular point of U; then we say that p is a critical point of U: Note 5.101 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Clearly, U is a smooth submersion if and only if every point of M is a regular point of U: Note 5.102 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Let m < n. We shall try to show that every point of M is a critical point of U: If not, otherwise, let there exists p ∊ M such that p is not a critical point of U: Since p is not a critical point of U; p is a regular point of U; and hence, the linear map dUp : Tp M ! TUðpÞ N is onto. Since the linear map dUp : Tp M ! TUðpÞ N is onto, n ¼ dim N ¼ dim TUðpÞ N dim Tp M ¼ dim M ¼ m: Thus, m¥n; a contradiction. Thus, every point of M is a critical point of U: Note 5.103 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Let G be the set of all regular points of U: We shall try to show that G is an open subset of M. For this purpose, let us take any p ∊ G. Since p ∊ G, p is a regular point of U: Since p is a regular point of U; the linear map dUp : Tp M ! TUðpÞ N is onto. Since the linear map dUp : Tp M ! TUðpÞ N is onto, by Theorem 4.7, there exists an open neighborhood W of p such that for every q ∊ W, the linear map dFq : Tq M ! TFðqÞ N

is onto, and hence, the open neighborhood W of p is contained in G. It follows that p is an interior point of G. Thus, we have shown that G is an open subset of M. Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Let G be the set of all regular points of U: Let c 2 N: If U1 ðcÞ G; then we say that c is a regular value of U; and U1 ðcÞ is a regular value set. If c is not a regular value of U; then we say that c is a critical value of U: If c is a regular value of U; then U1 ðcÞ is called a regular level set. Clearly, if U1 ðcÞ ¼ ;; then c is a regular value of U: Note 5.104 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and U : M ! N be a smooth map. Letc 2 N: Let U1 ðcÞ be a nonempty regular level set. We shall try to show that U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M, and its codimension is n. Let G be the set of all regular points of U: We know that G is an open subset of M. Let O1 be the subspace topology over G inherited from M, that is, O1 ¼ fG1 : G1 G; and G1 2 Og: Let A be the differential structure of M. Put AG fðU; uÞ : ðU; uÞ 2 A; and U Gg: We know that AG is an atlas on G. Thus, G becomes an m-dimensional smooth manifold (called open submanifold of M). Also, G is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension 0. Since U : M ! N is a smooth map, and G is an open submanifold of M, UjG : G ! N is a smooth map. Let us take any p 2 G: We want to show that the linear map dðUjG Þp : Tp G ! TðUjG ÞðpÞ N is onto. Since p 2 G; p is a regular point of M, and hence, the linear map dUp : Tp M ! TUðpÞ N is onto. Since p ∊ G, and G is an open submanifold of M, TpM is equal to TpG. Also, ðUjG ÞðpÞ ¼ UðpÞ: It follows that the linear map dðUjG Þp : Tp G ! TðUjG ÞðpÞ N is onto. Now, we want to show that U1 ðcÞ is an embedded submanifold of M. Since for every p 2 G; the linear map dðUjG Þp : Tp G ! TðUjG ÞðpÞ N is onto, UjG : G ! N is a smooth submersion. Since UjG : G ! N is a smooth submersion, and c 2 N; by Note 5.100, the level set ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of G, and its codimension is n. Clearly, ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ ¼ U1 ðcÞ: (Reason: Let p 2 ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ: So p 2 G; and ðUjG ÞðpÞ ¼ c: Since p 2 G; c ¼ ðUjG ÞðpÞ ¼ UðpÞ; and hence, p 2 U1 ðcÞ: Thus, ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ U1 ðcÞ: Next, let p 2 U1 ðcÞ: Since p 2 U1 ðcÞ; UðpÞ ¼ c: Since U1 ðcÞ is a regular value set, U1 ðcÞ G: Since p 2 U1 ðcÞ G; p 2 G; and hence, ðUjG ÞðpÞ ¼ UðpÞ ¼ c: It follows that p 2 ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ: Thus, U1 ðcÞ ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ:)

Since ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ ¼ U1 ðcÞ; and the level set ðUjG Þ1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of G with its codimension n, U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of G with its codimension n. Since U1 ðcÞ is an embedded submanifold of G, the inclusion map i1 : U1 ðcÞ ! G is a smooth embedding. Since G is an embedded submanifold of M, the inclusion map i2 : G ! M is a smooth embedding. Since i1 : U1 ðcÞ ! G is a smooth embedding, and i2 : G ! M is a smooth embedding, their composite i2 i1 : U1 ðcÞ ! M is a smooth embedding. Since i2 i1 ¼ i; where idenotes the inclusion map from U1 ðcÞ to M; and i2 i1 : U1 ðcÞ ! M is a smooth embedding, the inclusion map i : U1 ðcÞ ! M is a smooth embedding. This shows that U1 ðcÞ is an embedded submanifold of M. Now, we want to show that U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M. For this purpose, let us take any compact set K in M. We have to show that ði2 i1 Þ1 ðKÞ is compact in U1 ðcÞ: Here, ði2 i1 Þ1 ðKÞ ¼ ðði1 Þ1 ði2 Þ1 ÞðKÞ ¼ ði1 Þ1 ðK \ GÞ ¼ ðK \ GÞ \ U1 ðcÞ ¼ K \ U1 ðcÞ: Since K is compact in M, and U1 ðcÞ is closed in M, K \ U1 ðcÞ is compact in M. Since K \ U1 ðcÞ is compact in M, and K \ U1 ðcÞ U1 ðcÞ; K \ U1 ðcÞð¼ ði2 i1 Þ1 ðKÞÞ is compact in U1 ðcÞ; and hence ði2 i1 Þ1 ðKÞ is compact in U1 ðcÞ: Thus, U1 ðcÞ is a properly embedded submanifold of M with codimension n.

5.10 Smooth Submanifolds Deﬁnition Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold and S be a nonempty subset of M. If there exists a topology O over S with respect to which S becomes an n-dimensional topological manifold, and there exists a smooth structure on S with respect to which the topological manifold S becomes an n-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is smooth immersion, then we say that S is an immersed submanifold (or smooth submanifold) of M with codimension m − n.

We shall try to show that S is an immersed submanifold of M with codimension k. Put O fG \ S : G is open in Mg: We know that O (called the subspace topology of S) is a topology over S. Since S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k, O is a topology over S with respect to which S becomes a (m − k)dimensional topological manifold. Also, there exists a smooth structure A on S, with respect to which the topological manifold S becomes an (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S !

Hence, S is an immersed submanifold of M with codimension kð¼ m ðm kÞÞ: This completes the proof. In short, every embedded submanifold is a smooth submanifold. Note 5.106 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure A, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure B, and F : N ! M be a 1–1 smooth immersion. Put O fFðVÞ : V is open in N g: Clearly, O is a topology over FðNÞ; and F is a homeomorphism from N onto F(N). Since F is a homeomorphism from N onto F(N), N is homeomorphic onto F(N). Since N is an n-dimensional smooth manifold, N is an n-dimensional topological manifold. Since N is an n-dimensional topological manifold, and N is homeomorphic onto F(N), F(N) is an n-dimensional topological manifold. Since N is an ndimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure B; and F is a homeomorphism from N onto F(N), fðFðVÞ; w ðF 1 FðVÞ ÞÞ : ðV; wÞ 2 Bg is a smooth structure on F(N). Thus, F(N) becomes an n-dimensional smooth manifold, and F is a diffeomorphism from N onto F(N). It is clear that w ðF 1 FðVÞ Þ ¼ w ðF 1 Þ: It follows

that the smooth structure on F(N) is fðFðVÞ; w ðF 1 ÞÞ : ðV; wÞ 2 Bg: Now, we want to prove that the inclusion map i : FðNÞ ! M is a smooth map. Clearly, i ¼ F F 1 : Since F : N ! FðNÞ is a diffeomorphism, F 1 : FðNÞ ! N is a diffeomorphism. Since F 1 is a diffeomorphism, and F : N ! M is a 1–1 smooth immersion, their composition F F 1 ð¼ iÞ is a 1–1 smooth immersion, and hence, i is a smooth immersion. It follows that F(N) is a smooth submanifold of M with codimension m − n. Conclusion: Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure A, N be an n-dimensional smooth manifold with smooth structure B, and F : N ! M be a 1–1 smooth immersion. Then, F(N) is a smooth submanifold of M with codimension m − n. Note 5.107 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold and S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be a smooth submanifold of M with codimension 0. We shall try to show that S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension 0. Since S is a smooth submanifold of M with codimension 0, by its deﬁnition, there exists a topology O over S with respect to which S becomes an m-dimensional topological manifold, and there exists a smooth structure on S with respect to which the topological manifold S becomes an m-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth immersion. Here, S is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and the inclusion map i : S ! M is a 1–1 smooth immersion, so by Note 5.73, i : S ! M is a smooth embedding. Since i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a topological embedding, and hence, i is a homeomorphism from S onto iðSÞð¼ SÞ; where iðSÞ has the subspace topology inherited from M. It follows that O is equal to the subspace topology of S inherited from M. Since S is endowed with

the subspace topology inherited from M, and the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, and the smooth structure on S is m-dimensional, by the deﬁnition of embedded submanifold, S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension 0. Note 5.108 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold and S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be a smooth submanifold of M with codimension k. Let the inclusion map i : S ! M be proper. We shall try to show that S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k. Since S is a smooth submanifold of M with codimension k; by its deﬁnition, there exists a topology O over S with respect to which S becomes an (m − k)dimensional topological manifold, and there exists a smooth structure on S with respect to which the topological manifold S becomes an ðm kÞ-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth immersion. Here, S is an (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold, M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a 1–1 smooth immersion, and the inclusion map i : S ! M is proper, so by Note 5.71, i : S ! M is smooth embedding. Since i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a topological embedding, and hence, i is a homeomorphism from S onto iðSÞð¼ SÞ; where ι(S) has the subspace topology inherited from M. It follows that O is equal to the subspace topology of S inherited from M. Since S is endowed with the subspace topology inherited from M, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, and the smooth structure on S is (m − k)-dimensional, by the deﬁnition of embedded submanifold, S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k. Note 5.109 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold and S be a nonempty subset of M. Let S be a smooth submanifold of M with codimension k. Let S be compact. We shall try to show that S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k.

M is a smooth immersion. Here, S is an (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold, M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a 1–1 smooth immersion, and S is compact, so by Note 5.72, i : S ! M is a smooth embedding. Since i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a topological embedding, and hence, ι is a homeomorphism from S onto iðSÞð¼ SÞ; where ι(S) has the subspace topology inherited from M. It follows that O is equal to the subspace topology of S inherited from M. Since S is endowed with the subspace topology inherited from M, the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth embedding, and the smooth structure on S is (m − k)-dimensional, by the deﬁnition of embedded submanifold, S is an embedded submanifold of M with codimension k.

M is a smooth immersion. Since i : S ! M is a smooth immersion, and p ∊ S, by Theorem 5.75, there exists an open neighborhood U of p in S such that the restriction ijU : U ! M is a smooth embedding. Since ijU : U ! M is a smooth embedding, ijU : U ! M is a topological embedding, and hence, ι|U is a homeomorphism from U onto ðijU ÞðUÞð¼ UÞ; where (ι|U)(U) has the subspace topology inherited from M. It follows that the topology over U is the subspace topology inherited from M. Here, S is a (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold, and U is an open neighborhood of p, so U is a (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold. Since U is a (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold, the topology over U is the subspace topology inherited from M, and the inclusion map ijU : U !

Let S be a smooth submanifold of M with codimension k. Let F : N ! M be a smooth map, and FðNÞ S: Let F : N ! S be continuous. We shall try to show F : N ! S is smooth. Let us ﬁx any p 2 N: Since p 2 N; FðpÞ 2 FðNÞ S; and hence, FðpÞ 2 S: Since S is a smooth submanifold of M, there exists a topology O over S with respect to which S becomes an ðm kÞ-dimensional topological manifold, and there exists a smooth structure A on S with respect to which the topological manifold S becomes an (m − k)-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth immersion. Since the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth immersion, by Theorem 5.46, i : S ! M is a local diffeomorphism. Since i : S !

S is continuous, there exists an open neighborhood V of p in N such that F(V) ⊂ U. Since V is open in N, V is an open submanifold of N, and hence, V is an embedded submanifold of N. Since V is an embedded submanifold of N, V is a smooth submanifold of N. Since V is a smooth submanifold of N, and F : N ! M is a smooth map, by Note 5.111, FjV : V ! M is a smooth map. Since FjV : V ! M is a smooth map, ðijU Þ1 : iðUÞ ! U is smooth, and ðFjV ÞðVÞ ¼ FðVÞ U ¼ iðUÞ; their composite ððijU Þ1 Þ ðFjV Þ : V ! U is smooth. Since ððijU Þ1 Þ ðFjV Þ : V !

Note 5.114 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let S be a nonempty subset of M. Suppose that S satisﬁes local k-slice condition. Since S satisﬁes local k-slice condition, by Note 5.97, S is an embedded submanifold of M. Since S is an embedded submanifold of M, the topology over S is the subspace topology inherited from M, and there exists a smooth structure A on S with respect to which S becomes a k-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S !

For this purpose, let A1 be a smooth structure on S with respect to which S becomes a kdimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth embedding. Next, let A2 be a smooth structure on S with respect to which S becomes a k-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth embedding.

Next, let A1 be a smooth structure on S with respect to which S becomes a k-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth immersion. Next, let A2 be a smooth structure on S with respect to which S becomes a k-dimensional smooth manifold such that the inclusion map i : S ! M is a smooth immersion.

Chapter 6

Sard’s Theorem

The root of Sard’s theorem lies in real analysis. It is one of the deep results in real analysis. How this result can be generalized into the realm of smooth manifold theory is only a later development. Its importance in manifold theory is for a deﬁnite reason. Upon applying Sard’s theorem, Whitney was able to prove a startling property about smooth manifolds: For every smooth manifold, ambient space can be constructed, etc. For pedagogical reasons, we have given its proof in step-by-step manner using Taylor’s inequality. Largely, this chapter is selfcontained.

R is continuous, and f0g is closed, ðD1 F1 Þ1 ðf0gÞ is closed in G: Similarly, ðD1 F2 Þ1 ðf0gÞ; ðD1 F3 Þ1 ðf0gÞ are closed in G: It follows that ðD1 F1 Þ1 ðf0gÞ \ ðD1 F2 Þ1 ðf0gÞ \ ðD1 F3 Þ1 ðf0gÞð¼ CÞ is closed in G; and hence, C is closed in G: Put C1 fx : x 2 G; and 0 ¼ ðD1 F1 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD1 F2 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD1 F3 Þð xÞg: Clearly, C1 ¼ C; and C1 is closed in G: Put C2 fx : x 2 G; and 0 ¼ ðD1 F1 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD1 F2 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD1 F3 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD11 F1 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD11 F2 Þð xÞ ¼ ðD11 F3 Þð xÞg: Clearly, C2 C1 ; and C2 is closed in G: Similarly, we deﬁne C3 fx : x 2 G; and 0 ¼ ðD1 Fi ÞðxÞ ¼ ðD11 Fi ÞðxÞ ¼ ðD111 Fi ÞðxÞfor every i ¼ 1; 2; 3g; etc. Clearly, C4 C3 C2 C1 ¼ C; and each Ci is closed in G.

It follows that ðD11 F1 ÞððU1 Þ Þ [ ðD11 F2 ÞððU1 Þ Þ [ ðD11 F3 ÞððU1 Þ Þ is bounded, and hence, there exists a positive number K such that ðD11 F1 ÞððU1 Þ Þ [ ðD11 F2 ÞððU1 Þ Þ [ ðD11 F3 ÞððU1 Þ Þ is contained in ½K; K: Case I: when C1 \ ððU1 Þ Þ ¼ ;: In this case,

Chapter 7

Whitney Embedding Theorem

This is the smallest chapter of this book, because it contains only two theorems which are due to Whitney. These theorems have three serious reasons to study. Firstly, in its proof the celebrated Sard’s theorem got an application. Secondly, the statement of Whitney embedding theorem was contrary to the common belief that a smooth manifold may not have any ambient space. Thirdly, in its proof, Whitney used almost all tools of smooth manifolds developed at that time. Fortunately, in this chapter we have all the prerequisite for its proof in the special case of compact smooth manifolds. For the general case, which is more difﬁcult, one can ﬁnd its proof somewhere else.

7.1 Compact Whitney Embedding in RN Lemma 7.1 Let M be an m-dimensional smooth manifold. Let M be compact.

Thus, RN R2mþ1 ; RN is an N-slice of R2mþ1 ; and RN satisﬁes local N-slice condition. It follows, by Note 5.97, that RN is an N-dimensional embedded submanifold of R2mþ1 ; and hence, there exists a smooth embedding g : RN ! R2mþ1 : Since f : M ! RN is a smooth embedding, and g : RN ! R2mþ1 is a smooth embedding, their composite map g f : M ! R2mþ1 is a smooth embedding. Case II when 2m þ 1\N. Since M is an m-dimensional smooth manifold, and R is a 1-dimensional smooth manifold, the product M M R is a ð2m þ 1Þ-dimensional smooth manifold. Let us deﬁne a mapping a : M M R !
