The boundary of a manifold with boundary is a manifold #

Mathlib carries the boundary I.boundary M of a manifold with boundary only as a set: there is no manifold structure on it, so nothing can be glued along it. This file supplies that structure in the basic Euclidean half-space case: M is a C^k manifold, k โ‰  0, modeled on the (n + 1)- dimensional Euclidean half-space ๐“กโˆ‚ (n + 1), and its boundary becomes a boundaryless C^k manifold modeled on EuclideanSpace โ„ (Fin n), one dimension lower, whose inclusion into M is a C^k closed embedding.

The boundary atlas consists of charts induced by the preferred ambient charts. Each preferred ambient chart carries a boundary point to a point of the half-space whose zeroth coordinate vanishes; deleting that coordinate turns it into a preferred chart of the boundary. Two facts make this work, and they are the content of the file.

The charted-space structure depends only on the ambient C^1 structure and is registered as the canonical instance. The manifold and embedding results remain valid for every exponent k โ‰  0. Boundarylessness then follows directly from ModelWithCorners.Boundaryless.boundary_eq_empty.

Corners are deliberately out of scope: gluing along a piece of the boundary produces corners, and the quadrant model modelWithCornersEuclideanQuadrant needs its own boundary analysis. Collar neighbourhoods, which are what make a gluing smooth rather than merely topological, are the next step and are not proved here.

A point of a charted space modeled on the d-dimensional Euclidean half-space is an interior point exactly when any chart of its C^k maximal atlas, k โ‰  0, around it reads it with positive zeroth coordinate.

A point of a C^k manifold with boundary modeled on the (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean half-space lies on the boundary exactly when any chart around it reads it with vanishing zeroth coordinate.

The canonical charted-space structure on the boundary of a C^1 manifold modeled on a Euclidean half-space. Its atlas consists of the boundary charts induced by the ambient preferred charts. The implementation is intentionally opaque; use the characteristic lemmas below to reason about its atlas and preferred charts.

The boundary atlas is the range of its preferred charts.

The source of the preferred boundary chart at p is the part of the boundary the ambient preferred chart at p sees.

The target of the preferred boundary chart at p is the ambient target, pulled back to the coordinate hyperplane.

The preferred boundary chart at p reads a point through the ambient preferred chart at p and deletes the zeroth coordinate.

On its target, the inverse of the preferred boundary chart at p is the inverse of the ambient preferred chart at p, applied to the parametrized point.

The boundary of a C^k manifold with boundary is a C^k manifold of dimension one less: the transition maps between the boundary charts are C^k.

The inclusion of the boundary into the manifold is a C^k immersion. In the preferred boundary and ambient charts it is the coordinate inclusion with one-dimensional complement.

The inclusion of the boundary into the manifold is a C^k smooth embedding.
