Joint evaluation in the manifold weak Whitney topology #
The weak Whitney topology controls coordinate derivatives on compact subsets of source charts.
For a locally compact source model, local compactness gives a compact chart neighbourhood of
each point, so a coordinate derivative of a map is continuous jointly in the map and the chart
point: ContMDiffMap.tendsto_iteratedFDerivWithin_extChartAt. In order zero this is the
continuity of evaluation jointly in the map and the source point, which is what the natural
action of the diffeomorphism group on its manifold needs. In higher order it is the input for
continuity of composition. On a compact subset of a chart target the convergence is uniform
(ContMDiffMap.tendstoUniformlyOn_iteratedFDerivWithin_extChartAt, which needs no local
compactness): every chartwise C^m neighbourhood of a map on a compact coordinate set, for
m โค n, is a weak Whitney neighbourhood.
The compact-neighbourhood argument is the standard one for compact-open evaluation; see M. Hirsch, Differential Topology, Chapter 2, ยง1.
A map continuous at a point and visible there in a target chart stays visible at the nearby points of a source chart target.
The coordinate representative of a C^n map in any pair of extended charts is C^n within
the source chart target, at every point where the map is visible in the target chart.
The Taylor coefficients of order k โค n of the chart transition
extChartAt y โ (extChartAt x).symm are continuous within the chart target (extChartAt x).target
at any point z of it whose preimage lies in the source of the chart at y.
A coordinate derivative of a C^n map is continuous jointly in the map, for the manifold
weak Whitney topology, and the point of the source chart target, provided the source model is
locally compact. Derivatives are taken within the chart target, so boundary and corner points
are included.
A map visible in a target chart at a point of a source chart stays visible there, jointly for nearby maps and nearby chart points, provided the source model is locally compact.
On a compact subset of a source chart target which fโ maps into a target chart, the
coordinate derivatives of maps near fโ converge uniformly to those of fโ. Derivatives are taken
within the chart target, so boundary and corner points are included. No local compactness of the
source model is needed.
Evaluation of a C^n map is continuous jointly in the map and the source point for the
manifold weak Whitney topology, provided the source model is locally compact.
Uniform closeness of values on a compact set, up to a continuous tolerance which is positive there, is a neighbourhood condition for the manifold weak Whitney topology.
