Lie-group structures from subgroup slice charts #
A smooth ambient chart which identifies a subgroup with the zero transverse slice gives more than a smooth atlas on the subgroup: the inclusion is smooth, and smoothness of a map into the subgroup can be checked after composing with that inclusion. Consequently, the group operations inherited from an ambient Lie group are smooth for the slice-chart manifold structure.
Main results #
Subgroup.contMDiff_subtypeVal_chartedSpaceOfIsSliceChartproves that the subgroup inclusion is smooth.Subgroup.contMDiff_iff_comp_subtypeVal_chartedSpaceOfIsSliceChartcharacterizes smooth maps into the subgroup by their composites with the inclusion.Subgroup.contMDiffMul_chartedSpaceOfIsSliceChartmakes inherited multiplication smooth.Subgroup.lieGroup_chartedSpaceOfIsSliceChartequips the charted subgroup with the inherited Lie-group operations.
