Zero-dimensional analytic submanifolds #
A zero-dimensional analytic submanifold is discrete, and every nonempty discrete subset of a finite-dimensional scalar space is a zero-dimensional analytic submanifold. In particular, a preconnected zero-dimensional analytic submanifold consists of one point. This identifies the bases on which polynomial lifting can use a refinement over a single point.
The chart condition is essential: a totally disconnected set need not be discrete. Neither finiteness nor closedness of the submanifold is required.
