The weak Whitney topology on diffeomorphisms #
This topology is provided only when the source manifold M is compact; the noncompact case
requires a separate choice between weak and strong Whitney topologies.
The diffeomorphisms M ≃ₘ^n⟮I, J⟯ N carry the subspace topology inherited from the weak
Whitney topology on C^n⟮I, M; J, N⟯. This topology is generated by chart derivative tests: a
map passes a test when it carries the chosen compact chart set into the target chart and its
coordinate derivative there lies in the prescribed open set. Convergence is characterized by
ContMDiffMap.tendsto_manifoldWeakWhitney_iff. This is the C^n topology in the usual sense, the
weak and the strong Whitney topologies agreeing for the compact source. Only the forward map is
topologized; no continuity is claimed for inversion, which needs an inverse-function estimate that
is not developed here.
Use open scoped TauCeti.DiffeomorphWeakWhitney to select this topology, for instance when
forming continuous maps into the space of diffeomorphisms.
The reason to have the topology is to turn a smooth family of diffeomorphisms, which is what a
geometric construction produces, into a continuous map into the space of diffeomorphisms, which
is what a homotopy-theoretic statement about that space needs. Diffeomorph.ofSmoothFamily is
that map, and TauCeti.Diffeotopy.toPath in
TauCeti.Geometry.Diffeomorphism.Diffeotopy.Path uses it.

The weak topology convention follows M. Hirsch, Differential Topology, GTM 33, Chapter 2, §1.

Equations
Instances For
The forgetful map to C^n⟮I, M; J, N⟯ realizes the diffeomorphisms as a subspace of the
weak Whitney map space.
The forgetful map to C^n⟮I, M; J, N⟯ is continuous.
A family of diffeomorphisms is continuous exactly when the underlying family of C^n maps
is.
Evaluation at a fixed point of the source is continuous.
A Hausdorff target gives a Hausdorff space of diffeomorphisms.
The smooth-families map: a family of diffeomorphisms which is jointly C^n on the product of
the parameter manifold with the source is continuous for the weak Whitney topology. The converse
fails for a general parameter space, so only this direction is available.
A jointly C^n family of diffeomorphisms, bundled as a continuous map into the
