Extending diffeotopies by the identity #
A diffeotopy of N which fixes every point outside a compact set at all times extends along a
smooth open embedding χ : N → M into a Hausdorff manifold: the extension moves χ z as the
original motion moves z, and fixes every point outside the image of the compact set
(TauCeti.Diffeotopy.exists_extend_of_isCompact). For the inclusion of an open subset this
transplants a motion built inside the open subset to the ambient manifold, keeping all of its
moving points inside the subset.
The total level-preserving diffeomorphism of I × N is extended along Prod.map id χ by
IsLocalDiffeomorph.exists_diffeomorph_extend_of_isCompact; the extension preserves the time
coordinate and starts at the identity because it either agrees with the original motion or is
the identity.
