Appendix a Topology of Manifolds Appendix A Topology of manifolds A.1 Toplogical notions A topological space is a set X together with a collection of subsets U ⊆ X called open subsets, with the following properties: • /0;X are open. • If U;U0 are open then U \U0 is open. S • For any collection Ui of open subsets, the union i Ui is open. m The collection of open subsets is called the topology of X. The space R has a standard topology given by the usual open subsets. Likewise, the open subsets of a manifold M define a topology on M. For any set X, one has the trivial topology where the only open subsets are /0and X, and the discrete topology where every subset is considered open. An open neighborhod of a point p is an open subset containing it. A topological space is called Hausdorff of any two distinct points have disjoint open neighborhoods. Any subset A ⊆ X has a subspace topology, with open sets the collection of all intersections U \ A such that U ⊆ X is open. Given a surjective map q : X ! Y, the space Y inherits a quotient topology, whose open sets are all V ⊆ Y such that the pre-image q−1(V) = fx 2 Xj q(x) 2 Vg is open. A subset A is closed if its complement XnA is open. Dual to teh staments for open sets, one has that the intersection of an arbitrary collection of closed sets is closed, and the union of two closed sets is closed. For any subset A, denote by A its closure, given as the smallest closed subset containing A. A.2 Manifolds are second countable A basis for the topology on X is a callection B = fUa g of open subsets of X such that every U is a union from sets from B. A topological space is said to be second countable if its topology has a countable basis. 1 2 A Topology of manifolds Proposition A.1. Manifolds are second countable. m Proof. The space R is second countable: A basis is given by the collection of all m rational balls, by which we mean e-balls Be (x) such that x 2 Q and e 2 Q>0. m To check it is a basis, let U ⊆ R be open, and p 2 U. Choose e 2 Q>0 such that n B2e (p) ⊆U. There exists a rational point x 2 Q with jjx− pjj < e. This then satisfies p 2 Be (x) ⊆ U. Since p was arbitrary, this proves the claim. The same reasoning m shows that for any open subset U ⊆ R , the rational e-balls that are contained in U form a basis of the topology of U. Given a manifold M, let A = f(Ua ;fa )g be a countable atlas. Then the set of −1 all fa (Be (x)), where Be (x) is a rational ball contained in fa (Ua ), is a countable basis for the topology of M. Indeed, any open subset U is a countable union over −1 all U \Ua , and each of these intersections is a countable union over all fa (Be (x)) such that Be (x) is a rational e-ball contained in U \Ua . A collection fUa g of open subsets of X is called an open covering of A ⊆ X if S A ⊆ a Ua . Consider the case A = X.A refinement of an open cover fUa g of X is an open cover fVb g of X such that each Vb is contained in some Ua . If Vb = Uf (b) for all b, then the refinement is called a subcover. A.3 Manifolds are paracompact A topological space X is called compact if every open cover of X has a finite sub- cover. A topological space is called paracompact if every open cover fUa g has a locally finite refinement fVb g: that is, every point has an open neighborhood meet- ing only finitely many Vb ’s. Proposition A.2. Manifolds are paracompact. Proof. Let fUa g be an open cover of M. The first step is to construct a sequence of open subsets W1;W2;::: such that [ Wi = M; and each Wi has compact closure with Wi ⊆ Wi+1. To this end, start with a a countable open cover O1;O2;::: of M such that each Oi has compact closure Oi. (We saw in the proof of the previous proposition how to construct such a cover.) Replacing Oi with O1 [···[ Oi we may assume O1 ⊆ O2 ⊆ ···. Define W1;W2;::: as a subsequence of O1;O2;:::, by inductively letting Wi = O j(i), with the smallest index j(i) such that W i−1 ⊆ O j(i) (the induction starts 1 with W0 := /0). 1 If M is compact, then the sequence Wi may become independent of i for large i. A.4 Partitions of unity 3 The compact subset W i+1nWi is contained in the open set Wi+2nW i−1. It is cov- ered by the open sets (Wi+2nW i−1) \ Ua , and by compactness it is already cov- ered by finitely many of those intersections. Let V (i) be this finite collection, and S (i) V = V = fVb g the open cover given as the union over all i. By construction, V = fVb g is a countable cover, which is locally finite: Given p 2 M, choose i such that p 2 Wi; by construction this Wi can only meet Vb ’s from V (k) with k ≤ i. ut Remark A.1. (Cf. Lang, page 35.) One can strengthen the result a bit, as follows: Given a cover fUa g, we can find a refinement to a cover fVb g such that each Vb is the domain of a coordinate chart (Vb ;yb ), with the following extra properties, for some 0 < r < R: (i) yb (Vb ) = BR(0), and 0 −1 (ii) M is already covered by the smaller subsets Vb = yb (Br(0)). To prove this, we change the second half of the proof as follows: For each p 2 W i+1nWi choose a coordinate chart (Vp;yp) such that yp(p) = 0, yp(Vp) = BR(0), 0 0 and Vp ⊆ (Wi+2nW i−1) \Ua . Let Vp ⊆ Vp be the pre-image of Br(0). The Vp cover (i) W i+1nWi; let V be a finite subcover and proceed as before. This remark is useful for the construction of partitions of unity. A.4 Partitions of unity We will need the following result from multivariable calculus. Lemma A.1 (Bump functions). For all 0 < r < R, there exists a function f 2 m C¥(R ), with f (x) = 0 for jjxjj ≥ R and f (x) = 1 for jjxjj ≤ r. Proof. It suffices to prove the existence of a function g 2 C¥(R) such that g(t) = 0 for t ≥ R and g(t) = 1 for t ≤ r. Indeed, given such g we can simply take f (x) = g(jjxjj). To construct g, recall that the function h(t) = 0 if t ≤ 0; h(t) = exp(−1=t) if x > 0 is smooth even at t = 0. The function h(t − r) + h(R − t) is strictly positive every- where, since for tger the first summand is positive and for t ≥ R the second sum- mand is positive. Furthermore, it agrees with h(t − r) for t ≥ R. Hence the function g 2 C¥(R) given as h(t − r) g(t) = 1 − h(t − r) + h(R −t) is 1 for t ≤ r, and 0 for t ≤ R. The support supp( f ) of a function f on M is the smallest closed subset on which teh function is non-zero. Equivalently, p 2 Mnsupp( f ) if and only if f vanishes on 4 A Topology of manifolds some open neighborhood of p. In the Lemma above, we can take f to have support 0 1 in BR(0) – simply apply the Lemma to 0 < r < R := 2 (R + r). Definition A.1. A partition of unity subordinate to an open cover fUa g of a man- ifold M is a collection of smooth functions ca , with 0 ≤ ca ≤ 1, such that supp(ca ) ⊆ Ua , and ∑ ca = 1: a Proposition A.3. For any open cover of a manifold there is a partition of unity subordinate to that cover. One can take this partition of unity to be locally finite: That is, for any p 2 M there is an open neighborhood U meeting the support of only finitely many ca ’s. Proof. Let Vb be a locally finite refinement of the cover Ua , given by coordinate 0 charts of the kind described in Remark ??, and let Vb ⊆ Vb be as decribed there. 0 Since the images of Vb ⊆ Vb are Br(0) ⊆ BR(0), we can use the Lemma above to ¥ 0 define a function fb 2 C (M) with fb (p) = 1 for p 2 Vp and supp( fb ) ⊆ Vb . Since 0 the Vb are already a cover, the sum ∑b fb is > 0) everywhere. For each index b, pick an index a such that Vb ⊆ Ua . This defines a map d : b 7! d(b) between the indexing sets. The functions ∑b2d−1(a) fb ca = : ∑g fg give the desired partition of unity..

  • Affine Connections and Second-Order Affine Structures
    Affine connections and second-order affine structures Filip Bár Dedicated to my good friend Tom Rewwer on the occasion of his 35th birthday. Abstract Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural struc- ture of an infinitesimally affine space. This structure is comprised of two pieces of data: a sequence of symmetric and reflexive relations defining the tuples of mu- tual infinitesimally close points, called an infinitesimal structure, and an action of affine combinations on these tuples. For smooth manifolds the only natural infin- itesimal structure that has been considered so far is the one generated by the first neighbourhood of the diagonal. In this paper we construct natural infinitesimal structures for higher-order neighbourhoods of the diagonal and show that on any manifold any symmetric affine connection extends to a second-order infinitesimally affine structure. Introduction A deeply rooted intuition about smooth manifolds is that of spaces that become linear spaces in the infinitesimal neighbourhood of each point. On the infinitesimal scale the geometry underlying a manifold is thus affine geometry. To make this intuition precise requires a good theory of infinitesimals as well as defining precisely what it means for two points on a manifold to be infinitesimally close. As regards infinitesimals we make use of Synthetic Differential Geometry (SDG) and adopt the neighbourhoods of the diagonal from Algebraic Geometry to define when two points are infinitesimally close. The key observations on how to proceed have been made by Kock in [8]: 1) The first neighbourhood arXiv:1809.05944v2 [math.DG] 29 Aug 2020 of the diagonal exists on formal manifolds and can be understood as a symmetric, reflexive relation on points, saying when two points are infinitesimal neighbours, and 2) we can form affine combinations of points that are mutual neighbours.

  • Professor Smith Math 295 Lecture Notes
    Professor Smith Math 295 Lecture Notes by John Holler Fall 2010 1 October 29: Compactness, Open Covers, and Subcovers. 1.1 Reexamining Wednesday's proof There seemed to be a bit of confusion about our proof of the generalized Intermediate Value Theorem which is: Theorem 1: If f : X ! Y is continuous, and S ⊆ X is a connected subset (con- nected under the subspace topology), then f(S) is connected. We'll approach this problem by first proving a special case of it: Theorem 1: If f : X ! Y is continuous and surjective and X is connected, then Y is connected. Proof of 2: Suppose not. Then Y is not connected. This by definition means 9 non-empty open sets A; B ⊂ Y such that A S B = Y and A T B = ;. Since f is continuous, both f −1(A) and f −1(B) are open. Since f is surjective, both f −1(A) and f −1(B) are non-empty because A and B are non-empty. But the surjectivity of f also means f −1(A) S f −1(B) = X, since A S B = Y . Additionally we have f −1(A) T f −1(B) = ;. For if not, then we would have that 9x 2 f −1(A) T f −1(B) which implies f(x) 2 A T B = ; which is a contradiction. But then these two non-empty open sets f −1(A) and f −1(B) disconnect X. QED Now we want to show that Theorem 2 implies Theorem 1. This will require the help from a few lemmas, whose proofs are on Homework Set 7: Lemma 1: If f : X ! Y is continuous, and S ⊆ X is any subset of X then the restriction fjS : S ! Y; x 7! f(x) is also continuous.

  • EXOTIC SPHERES and CURVATURE 1. Introduction Exotic
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 45, Number 4, October 2008, Pages 595–616 S 0273-0979(08)01213-5 Article electronically published on July 1, 2008 EXOTIC SPHERES AND CURVATURE M. JOACHIM AND D. J. WRAITH Abstract. Since their discovery by Milnor in 1956, exotic spheres have pro- vided a fascinating object of study for geometers. In this article we survey what is known about the curvature of exotic spheres. 1. Introduction Exotic spheres are manifolds which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to a standard sphere. In this introduction our aims are twofold: First, to give a brief account of the discovery of exotic spheres and to make some general remarks about the structure of these objects as smooth manifolds. Second, to outline the basics of curvature for Riemannian manifolds which we will need later on. In subsequent sections, we will explore the interaction between topology and geometry for exotic spheres. We will use the term differentiable to mean differentiable of class C∞,and all diffeomorphisms will be assumed to be smooth. As every graduate student knows, a smooth manifold is a topological manifold that is equipped with a smooth (differentiable) structure, that is, a smooth maximal atlas. Recall that an atlas is a collection of charts (homeomorphisms from open neighbourhoods in the manifold onto open subsets of some Euclidean space), the domains of which cover the manifold. Where the chart domains overlap, we impose a smooth compatibility condition for the charts [doC, chapter 0] if we wish our manifold to be smooth. Such an atlas can then be extended to a maximal smooth atlas by including all possible charts which satisfy the compatibility condition with the original maps.

A topological space is said to be totally paracompact if every open base of it has a locally finite subcover. Corson, McNinn, Michael, and Nagata announced [3] that the irrationals have a basis which does not have a locally finite subcover, and hence are not totally paracompact. Ford [6] was the first to give the definition of totally paracompact spaces. He used this property to show the equivalence of the small and large inductive dimension in metric spaces. Ford also showed paracompact, locally compact spaces are totally paracompact. Lelek [9] studied totally paracompact and totally metacompact separable metric spaces. He showed that these two properties are equivalent in separable metric spaces.

  • Lecture Notes on Foliation Theory
    INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BOMBAY Department of Mathematics Seminar Lectures on Foliation Theory 1 : FALL 2008 Lecture 1 Basic requirements for this Seminar Series: Familiarity with the notion of differential manifold, submersion, vector bundles. 1 Some Examples Let us begin with some examples: m d m−d (1) Write R = R × R . As we know this is one of the several cartesian product m decomposition of R . Via the second projection, this can also be thought of as a ‘trivial m−d vector bundle’ of rank d over R . This also gives the trivial example of a codim. d- n d foliation of R , as a decomposition into d-dimensional leaves R × {y} as y varies over m−d R . (2) A little more generally, we may consider any two manifolds M, N and a submersion f : M → N. Here M can be written as a disjoint union of fibres of f each one is a submanifold of dimension equal to dim M − dim N = d. We say f is a submersion of M of codimension d. The manifold structure for the fibres comes from an atlas for M via the surjective form of implicit function theorem since dfp : TpM → Tf(p)N is surjective at every point of M. We would like to consider this description also as a codim d foliation. However, this is also too simple minded one and hence we would call them simple foliations. If the fibres of the submersion are connected as well, then we call it strictly simple. (3) Kronecker Foliation of a Torus Let us now consider something non trivial.

  • On Expanding Locally Finite Collections
    Can. J. Math., Vol. XXIII, No. 1, 1971, pp. 58-68 ON EXPANDING LOCALLY FINITE COLLECTIONS LAWRENCE L. KRAJEWSKI Introduction. A space X is in-expandable, where m is an infinite cardinal, if for every locally finite collection {Ha\ a £ A} of subsets of X with \A\ ^ m (car­ dinality of A S ni ) there exists a locally finite collection of open subsets {Ga \ a £ A} such that Ha C Ga for every a 6 A. X is expandable if it is m-expandable for every cardinal m. The notion of expandability is closely related to that of collection wise normality introduced by Bing [1], X is collectionwise normal if for every discrete collection of subsets {Ha\a € A} there is a discrete collec­ tion of open subsets {Ga\a £ A] such that Ha C Ga for every a 6 A. Expand­ able spaces share many of the properties possessed by collectionwise normal spaces. For example, an expandable developable space is metrizable and an expandable metacompact space is paracompact. In § 2 we study the relationship of expandability with various covering properties and obtain some characterizations of paracompactness involving expandability. It is shown that Xo-expandability is equivalent to countable paracompactness. In § 3, countably perfect maps are studied in relation to expandability and various product theorems are obtained. Section 4 deals with subspaces and various sum theorems. Examples comprise § 5. Definitions of terms not defined here can be found in [1; 5; 16]. 1. Expandability and collectionwise normality. An expandable space need not be regular (Example 5.6), and a completely regular expandable space need not be normal (W in Example 5.3).

  • Hausdorff Morita Equivalence of Singular Foliations
    Hausdorff Morita Equivalence of singular foliations Alfonso Garmendia∗ Marco Zambony Abstract We introduce a notion of equivalence for singular foliations - understood as suitable families of vector fields - that preserves their transverse geometry. Associated to every singular foliation there is a holonomy groupoid, by the work of Androulidakis-Skandalis. We show that our notion of equivalence is compatible with this assignment, and as a consequence we obtain several invariants. Further, we show that it unifies some of the notions of transverse equivalence for regular foliations that appeared in the 1980's.
