The derivative of functions between smooth manifolds #

Let M and M' be two smooth manifolds with corners over a field π•œ (with respective models with corners I on (E, H) and I' on (E', H')), and let f : M β†’ M'. We define the derivative of the function at a point, within a set or along the whole space, mimicking the API for (FrΓ©chet) derivatives. It is denoted by mfderiv I I' f x, where "m" stands for "manifold" and "f" for "FrΓ©chet" (as in the usual derivative fderiv π•œ f x).

Main definitions #

Let f be a map between smooth manifolds. The following definitions follow the fderiv API.

Various related results are proven in separate files: see

Implementation notes #

The tangent bundle is constructed using the machinery of topological fiber bundles, for which one can define bundled morphisms and construct canonically maps from the total space of one bundle to the total space of another one. One could use this mechanism to construct directly the derivative of a smooth map. However, we want to define the derivative of any map (and let it be zero if the map is not differentiable) to avoid proof arguments everywhere. This means we have to go back to the details of the definition of the total space of a fiber bundle constructed from core, to cook up a suitable definition of the derivative. It is the following: at each point, we have a preferred chart (used to identify the fiber above the point with the model vector space in fiber bundles). Then one should read the function using these preferred charts at x and f x, and take the derivative of f in these charts.

Due to the fact that we are working in a model with corners, with an additional embedding I of the model space H in the model vector space E, the charts taking values in E are not the original charts of the manifold, but those ones composed with I, called extended charts. We define writtenInExtChartAt I I' x f for the function f written in the preferred extended charts. Then the manifold derivative of f, at x, is just the usual derivative of writtenInExtChartAt I I' x f, at the point (extChartAt I x) x.

There is a subtlety with respect to continuity: if the function is not continuous, then the image of a small open set around x will not be contained in the source of the preferred chart around f x, which means that when reading f in the chart one is losing some information. To avoid this, we include continuity in the definition of differentiablity (which is reasonable since with any definition, differentiability implies continuity).

Warning: the derivative (even within a subset) is a linear map on the whole tangent space. Suppose that one is given a smooth submanifold N, and a function which is smooth on N (i.e., its restriction to the subtype N is smooth). Then, in the whole manifold M, the property MDifferentiableOn I I' f N holds. However, mfderivWithin I I' f N is not uniquely defined (what values would one choose for vectors that are transverse to N?), which can create issues down the road. The problem here is that knowing the value of f along N does not determine the differential of f in all directions. This is in contrast to the case where N would be an open subset, or a submanifold with boundary of maximal dimension, where this issue does not appear. The predicate UniqueMDiffOn I N indicates that the derivative along N is unique if it exists, and is an assumption in most statements requiring a form of uniqueness.

On a vector space, the manifold derivative and the usual derivative are equal. This means in particular that they live on the same space, i.e., the tangent space is defeq to the original vector space. To get this property is a motivation for our definition of the tangent space as a single copy of the vector space, instead of more usual definitions such as the space of derivations, or the space of equivalence classes of smooth curves in the manifold.

Derivative of maps between manifolds #

The derivative of a smooth map f between smooth manifold M and M' at x is a bounded linear map from the tangent space to M at x, to the tangent space to M' at f x. Since we defined the tangent space using one specific chart, the formula for the derivative is written in terms of this specific chart.

We use the names MDifferentiable and mfderiv, where the prefix letter m means "manifold".

Property in the model space of a model with corners of being differentiable within at set at a point, when read in the model vector space. This property will be lifted to manifolds to define differentiable functions between manifolds.

    Being differentiable in the model space is a local property, invariant under smooth maps. Therefore, it will lift nicely to manifolds.
