Cutting a function off in a chart #
Let u be a C¹ real function on a manifold without boundary and b a smooth bump function on
the model space, centred at the chart image of a point c, whose closed support ball lies in the
target of the extended chart at c. The product y ↦ b y * u ((extChartAt I c).symm y) is then a
compactly supported C¹ function on the model space, agreeing with the coordinate expression of
u where b = 1. This is the standard way to localize an estimate from the model space to a
manifold. This file records its regularity and the bound on its derivative.
Conversely, a compactly supported function on the model space whose support lies in the chart target is the coordinate expression of a compactly supported function on the manifold, extended by zero outside the chart. This is the standard way to transplant a test function from the model space to a manifold.

A bump function whose closed support ball lies in the chart target, times the coordinate
expression of a C¹ function, is a C¹ function on the model space.
The derivative of the cut-off coordinate expression at a point of the chart target is bounded
by the derivative of the coordinate expression plus G |u|, where G bounds the derivative of
the bump.
The cut-off coordinate expression has zero derivative outside the closed support ball of the bump.
Transplanting a function from a chart. A C^n function w on the model space whose
support is a compact subset of the target of the extended chart at c is, on that target, the
coordinate expression of a compactly supported C^n function u on M whose support lies in the
chart preimage of the support of w.
