Smoothly varying left inverses #
Let ๐ โ ๐' be a normed field extension. Let A x be a continuous ๐'-linear map from a Banach
space G to a normed space F, depending C^n over ๐ on a point x of a manifold. If A xโ
has a continuous left inverse P, then the compression P โ A x is the identity at xโ, hence
invertible near xโ, and (P โ A x)โปยน โ P is a left inverse of A x for x near xโ. Operator
inversion is analytic over the ground field on the invertible operators, so this left inverse is
again C^n over ๐ at xโ, while retaining its ๐'-linearity. The supplied ground-field scalar
structures are preserved. This is the smooth counterpart of
ContinuousAt.exists_continuousAt_leftInverse.
For G = (๐')แต and A x the operator c โฆ โ i, c i โข X i x of a family of linearly independent
vectors depending smoothly on x, the left inverse sends a vector of the span of the X i x to
its coordinates. So coordinates in a smoothly moving basis depend smoothly on the base point,
which is what makes the local trivializations of a subbundle spanned by smooth local frames
smoothly compatible.

Left inverses vary smoothly. Let A x be a continuous linear map into a normed space from
a Banach space, linear over the extension field ๐' and depending C^n over the ground field
๐ on a manifold point x at xโ. If A xโ has a continuous ๐'-linear left inverse, then
there are continuous ๐'-linear maps L x, depending C^n over ๐ on x at xโ, such that
L x is a left inverse of A x for all x near xโ.
Ground-field smoothness can be tested after a smoothly varying extension-linear split
injection. No regularity of v is assumed in advance.
Near a point where a smooth family of operators A y : G โ F is compressed by a left inverse
P to the identity and a is a covector killing A x, the covectors
a - a (A y) (P (A y))โปยน P are smooth and nonzero, and the compression P (A y) is invertible,
on an open neighborhood of x inside the domain of smoothness. They annihilate A y by
ContinuousLinearMap.sub_comp_inverse_comp_comp_eq_zero.
