LECTURE 1. Differentiable Manifolds, Differentiable Maps LECTURE 1. Differentiable manifolds, differentiable maps Def: topological m-manifold. Locally euclidean, Hausdorff, second-countable space. At each point we have a local chart. (U; h), where h : U ! Rm is a topological embedding (homeomorphism onto its image) and h(U) is open in Rm. Def: differentiable structure. An atlas of class Cr (r ≥ 1 or r = 1 ) for a topological m-manifold M is a collection U of local charts (U; h) satisfying: (i) The domains U of the charts in U define an open cover of M; (ii) If two domains of charts (U; h); (V; k) in U overlap (U \V 6= ;) , then the transition map: k ◦ h−1 : h(U \ V ) ! k(U \ V ) is a Cr diffeomorphism of open sets in Rm. (iii) The atlas U is maximal for property (ii). Def: differentiable map between differentiable manifolds. f : M m ! N n (continuous) is differentiable at p if for any local charts (U; h); (V; k) at p, resp. f(p) with f(U) ⊂ V the map k ◦ f ◦ h−1 = F : h(U) ! k(V ) is m differentiable at x0 = h(p) (as a map from an open subset of R to an open subset of Rn.) f : M ! N (continuous) is of class Cr if for any charts (U; h); (V; k) on M resp. N with f(U) ⊂ V , the composition k ◦ f ◦ h−1 : h(U) ! k(V ) is of class Cr (between open subsets of Rm, resp. Rn.) f : M ! N of class Cr is an immersion if, for any local charts (U; h); (V; k) as above (for M, resp. N), the composition F = k ◦ f ◦ h−1 satisfies ker[dF (x)] = f0g for all x 2 h(U), where dF (x) 2 L(Rm; Rn) is the dif- ferential of F . (In particular, m ≤ n necessarily.) f : M ! N is a diffeomorphism if it is a homeomorphism onto N and, for any p 2 M and local charts (U; h); (V; h) at p; f(p) (resp.) and F = k ◦ f ◦ h−1, the differential dF (x) 2 L(Rm;Rn), x = h(p), is an isomorphism. (In particular, m = n.) If a Cr map f : M ! N is a diffeomorphism , the inverse f −1 is of class Cr. 1 LECTURE 2. Tangent space at a point. Recall a subset M ⊂ Rn is a m-dimensional surface of class Ck in Rn (m ≤ n) if for any p 2 M we may find an open nbd. of p, W ⊂ Rn, and an immersion of class Ck, φ : U ! Rn (U ⊂ Rm open) which is a homeomorphism onto its image: φ(U) = W \ M. n For surfaces in R , the tangent space TpM at p 2 M is geometrically defined as the set of all velocity vectors α0(0) at t = 0 of C1 curves α on M with α(0) = p. m Exercise 1. Show that TpM = dφ(x0)[R ], where φ(x0) = p, and that this subspace of Rn is independent of the choice of local parametrization φ of M near p. On a manifold, we use instead the idea of tangent space as the set of `directional derivatives' of differentiable functions, at p 2 M. m r r Def. Let M be a C manifold, CM the vector space of real-valued Cr functions on M; let p 2 M.A tangent vector at p is a linear map r Xp : CM ! R satisfying: r (i)p: if f; g 2 CM coincide in an open neighborhood of p, then Xp(f) = Xp(g): (ii)p: Xp(fg) = f(p)Xp(g) + g(p)Xp(f) (Leibniz rule.) It follows easily from these properties that Xp(const) = 0;Xp(f) = Xp(f + const). (Show this.) The space TpM of tangent vectors at p is a vector space of dimension m: m it admits a standard basis (@xi jp)i=1 associated to a local chart (U; h) at p such that h(p) = 0: @(f ◦ h−1) @xi jp(f) = (0); where h(p) = 0; i = 1; : : : ; m: @xi r Indeed, if Xp 2 TpM and f 2 CM with f(p) = 0 (as we may assume), we compute using (ii)p (see notes): X i i i Xp(f) = v @xi jp(f); v = Xp(x ); i where xi : U ! R is the ith component of the Cr map h : U ! R. Def. The differential of a C1 map f : M m ! N n at p 2 M is the linear map df(p) 2 L(TpM; Tf(p)N) given by: r df(p)[Xp] = Yf(p);Yf(p)(g) = Xp(g ◦ f); g 2 CN : 2 r Note that g ◦ f 2 CM (check in a local chart.) r Exercise 2. The linear map Yf(p) 2 L(CN ; R) satisfies the conditions (i),(ii) at f(p), required of an element of Tf(p)N. Reality check. If the manifold N is R (the real line), the tangent space at t0 2 R is one-dimensional: dg @ (g) = (t ); for g 2 C1( ); T N = fc@ ; c 2 g: tjt0 dt 0 R t0 tjt0 R We have an isomorphism: dg : T N ! ; (Y ) = Y (id ) = c; where Y (g) = c (t ): It0 t0 R It0 t0 t0 R t0 dt 0 1 Now let f : M ! N = R be C . Then: 1 df(p)[Xp] = Yf(p); where Yf(p)(g) = Xp(g ◦ f); for all g 2 C (R): In particular, if g = idR, we have Yf(p)(idR) = Xp(f): Thus, under the isomorphism If(p), which identifies Tf(p)N with R, we have: If(p)(df(p)[Xp]) = (df(p)[Xp])(idR) = Yf(p)(idR) = Xp(f): Informally, this identifies Xp(f) ∼ df(p)[Xp]: Xp(f) is a `directional deriva- tive' of f, as expected. LECTURE 3. Tangent bundle; locally trivial vector bundles Def. The tangent bundle of a Cr manifold M m is the set: r TM = f(p; Xp) 2 M × L(CM ; R); Xp 2 TpMg; that is, Xp satisfies (i)p; (ii)p. We have the standard projection map π : TM ! M; π(p; (Xp)) = p. (Intuitively, we think of elements of TM as `vectors with basepoint'{only vectors with the same basepoint can be added.) We endow TM with a topology by imposing two conditions: (a) π is a continuous map: π−1(U) is open in TM if U ⊂ M is an open set; (b) Let (U; h) be a local chart for M, h(p) = 0. Define h~ : π−1(U) ! U × Rm by h~(p; Xp) = (h(p); v); 3 P i where Xp = i v @ijp, the components of Xp in the basis @ijp of TpM asso- ciated with the chart h. We require h~ to be a homeomorphism. Exercise 3. Show that (a),(b) define a topology on TM making it a topological manifold (Hausdorff, second countable, locally euclidean.) De- scribe a local basis of neighborhoods at a point (p; Xp) of TM. Def. Differentiable structure on TM. Let (U; '); (V; ) be overlapping charts for M, U \ V 6= ;. So F = ◦'−1 : '(U \V ) ! (U \V ) is a Cr diffeomorphism. Then the associated charts for TM also overlap, with the transition diffeomorphism (of class Cr−1): F~ = ~ ◦ '~−1 : '(U \ V ) × Rm ! (U \ V ) × Rm: (x; α) 7! (F (x); dF (x)[α]): Thus the Cr atlas on M induces a Cr−1 atlas on TM. The tangent bundle is a special case of an important class of manifolds. Def. A locally trivial vector bundle with typical fiber V is a triple (E; M; π), where E and M are differentiable manifolds and π : E ! M a differentiable map, satisfying: (i) Any p 2 M admits a neighborhood U ⊂ M and a diffeomorphism −1 (`local trivialization') ΦU : π (U) ! U × V commuting with the identity on U: π(e) = p1(ΦU (e)), where p1 : U × V ! U is the first projection. (ii) If two trivializing domains overlap (U \ W 6= ;), the transition map has the form: −1 ΦW ◦ ΦU : U × V ! W × V; (x; v) ! (x; T (x)v); where T : U \ W ! GL(V) is a differentiable map. E is trivial if there is a global diffeomorphism Φ : E ! M × V, π(e) = −1 p1(Φ(e)), so that ΦjEp 2 L(Ep; V), Ep = π (p). Def. A section of E is a differentiable map X : M ! E such that π ◦ σ = idM , i.e. X(p) 2 Ep.A vector field on M is a section of TM: X(p) 2 TpM. Exercise 4: E is trivial , 9 a differentiable basis of sections X1;:::;Xn (n = dim V), i.e. fXi(p)g is a basis of Ep, for all p 2 M. Example 1: TS1 is trivial: V (x; y) = (−y; x) is a nonvanishing tangent vector field onS1. 4 Example 2: TS2 is not trivial: there is no non-vanishing tangent vector field on S2. This follows from the following facts: (i) If f; g; 2 C(Sn;Sn) and f(x) + g(x) 6= 08x 2 Sn ⊂ Rn+1, then f is homotopic to g. (ii) In particular, if f 2 C(S2;S2) has no fixed points, f is homotopic to α, the antipodal map α. (iii) The identity map of S2 is not homotopic to the antipodal map (this is true for even-dimensional spheres). The proof uses the homotopy invariance of the degree of a map. (iv) Suppose V were a nonvanishing vector field on S2. Consider the x+V (x) map: f(x) = jjx+V (x)jj .

  • Math 5853 Homework Solutions 36. a Map F : X → Y Is Called an Open
    Math 5853 homework solutions 36. A map f : X → Y is called an open map if it takes open sets to open sets, and is called a closed map if it takes closed sets to closed sets. For example, a continuous bijection is a homeomorphism if and only if it is a closed map and an open map. 1. Give examples of continuous maps from R to R that are open but not closed, closed but not open, and neither open nor closed. open but not closed: f(x) = ex is a homeomorphism onto its image (0, ∞) (with the logarithm function as its inverse). If U is open, then f(U) is open in (0, ∞), and since (0, ∞) is open in R, f(U) is open in R. Therefore f is open. However, f(R) = (0, ∞) is not closed, so f is not closed. closed but not open: Constant functions are one example. We will give an example that is also surjective. Let f(x) = 0 for −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, f(x) = x − 1 for x ≥ 1, and f(x) = x+1 for x ≤ −1 (f is continuous by “gluing together on a finite collection of closed sets”). f is not open, since (−1, 1) is open but f((−1, 1)) = {0} is not open. To show that f is closed, let C be any closed subset of R. For n ∈ Z, −1 −1 define In = [n, n + 1]. Now, f (In) = [n + 1, n + 2] if n ≥ 1, f (I0) = [−1, 2], −1 −1 f (I−1) = [−2, 1], and f (In) = [n − 1, n] if n ≤ −2.

The concept of Euclidean space to a topological space is extended via suitable choice of coordinates. Manifolds are important objects in mathematics, physics and control theory, because they allow more complicated structures to be expressed and understood in terms of the well–understood properties of simpler Euclidean spaces. A differentiable manifold is defined either as a set of points with neighborhoods homeomorphic with Euclidean space, Rn with coordinates in overlapping neighborhoods being related by a differentiable transformation or as a subset of R, defined near each point by expressing some of the coordinates in terms of the others by differentiable functions. This paper aims at making a step by step introduction to differential manifolds.

INTRODUCTION IN 1960,Kuiper [12,13] initiated the study of tight immersions of surfaces in three space, and showed that every compact surface admits a tight immersion except for the Klein bottle, the real projective plane, and possibly the real projective plane with one handle. The fate of the latter surface went unresolved for 30 years until Haab recently proved [9] that there is no smooth tight immersion of the projective plane with one handle. In light of this, a recently described simplicial tight immersion of this surface [6] came as quite a surprise, and its discovery completes Kuiper’s initial survey. Pinkall [17] broadened the question in 1985 by looking for tight immersions in each equivalence class of immersed surfaces under image homotopy. He first produced a complete description of these classes, and proceeded to generate tight examples in all but finitely many of them. In this paper, we improve Pinkall’s result by giving tight simplicial examples in all but two of the immersion classes under image homotopy for which tight immersions are possible, and in particular, we point out and resolve an error in one of his examples that would have left an infinite number of immersion classes with no tight examples.

  • Daniel Irvine June 20, 2014 Lecture 6: Topological Manifolds 1. Local
    Daniel Irvine June 20, 2014 Lecture 6: Topological Manifolds 1. Local Topological Properties Exercise 7 of the problem set asked you to understand the notion of path compo- nents. We assume that knowledge here. We have done a little work in understanding the notions of connectedness, path connectedness, and compactness. It turns out that even if a space doesn't have these properties globally, they might still hold locally. Definition. A space X is locally path connected at x if for every neighborhood U of x, there is a path connected neighborhood V of x contained in U. If X is locally path connected at all of its points, then it is said to be locally path connected. Lemma 1.1. A space X is locally path connected if and only if for every open set V of X, each path component of V is open in X. Proof. Suppose that X is locally path connected. Let V be an open set in X; let C be a path component of V . If x is a point of V , we can (by definition) choose a path connected neighborhood W of x such that W ⊂ V . Since W is path connected, it must lie entirely within the path component C. Therefore C is open. Conversely, suppose that the path components of open sets of X are themselves open. Given a point x of X and a neighborhood V of x, let C be the path component of V containing x. Now C is path connected, and since it is open in X by hypothesis, we now have that X is locally path connected at x.

  • Lecture 2 Tangent Space, Differential Forms, Riemannian Manifolds
    Lecture 2 tangent space, differential forms, Riemannian manifolds differentiable manifolds A manifold is a set that locally look like Rn. For example, a two-dimensional sphere S2 can be covered by two subspaces, one can be the northen hemisphere extended slightly below the equator and another can be the southern hemisphere extended slightly above the equator. Each patch can be mapped smoothly into an open set of R2. In general, a manifold M consists of a family of open sets Ui which covers M, i.e. iUi = M, n ∪ and, for each Ui, there is a continuous invertible map ϕi : Ui R . To be precise, to define → what we mean by a continuous map, we has to define M as a topological space first. This requires a certain set of properties for open sets of M. We will discuss this in a couple of weeks. For now, we assume we know what continuous maps mean for M. If you need to know now, look at one of the standard textbooks (e.g., Nakahara). Each (Ui, ϕi) is called a coordinate chart. Their collection (Ui, ϕi) is called an atlas. { } The map has to be one-to-one, so that there is an inverse map from the image ϕi(Ui) to −1 Ui. If Ui and Uj intersects, we can define a map ϕi ϕj from ϕj(Ui Uj)) to ϕi(Ui Uj). ◦ n ∩ ∩ Since ϕj(Ui Uj)) to ϕi(Ui Uj) are both subspaces of R , we express the map in terms of n ∩ ∩ functions and ask if they are differentiable.

A sheaf S = (S, τ, X) of abelian groups is a map π : S −−−→ X, where S and X are topological spaces, such that 1. π is a local homeomorphism, 2. for each x ∈ X, π−1(x) is an abelian group, 3. addition is continuous. That π is a local homeomorphism means that for each point p ∈ S , there is an open set G with p ∈ G such that π|G maps G homeomorphi- cally onto some open set π(G).
