Integral manifolds of a distribution #
An integral manifold of a tangent distribution D is a C^n immersion of a nonempty charted space
whose differential has image exactly D at every point. The source has its own topology and
charted-space structure: it is not given the subspace topology from the ambient manifold, and the
immersion need not be injective. This is the notion needed by the Frobenius theorem and by the
construction of immersed Lie subgroups.
This file provides both the unbundled predicate TauCeti.IsIntegralManifold for a specified
immersion and TauCeti.IntegralManifold, which packages a k-dimensional source manifold and its
parametrization. The rank theorem shows that, for regularity n ≠ 0, the dimension of any
finite-dimensional source equals the rank of the distribution at any image point; it is not extra
data hidden in the definition. For regularity at least one, integral immersions of a
finite-dimensional constant distribution have partial-diffeomorphism charts into its direction
subspace near interior source points. These charts give local changes of parameter between
interior source points with the same ambient image, intertwining the two integral immersions.

A map is an integral manifold of D when its source is a nonempty charted space, it is a
C^n immersion, and the image of its differential at every point is exactly the prescribed tangent
subspace.
Nonemptiness rules out the empty map, which would otherwise satisfy the remaining conditions vacuously for every distribution.
The source topology and charted-space structure are independent of the ambient topology. In particular, this predicate neither requires the map to be injective nor equips its range with the subspace topology.

A packaged k-dimensional integral manifold of D.
Its carrier is nonempty and has an independent C^n manifold structure modelled on ℝ^k; the
map into the ambient manifold is only required to be an immersion. Injectivity,
embeddedness, connectedness, and maximality are deliberately separate properties.
- carrier : Type v
The carrier of the integral manifold.
- topologicalSpace : TopologicalSpace self.carrier
The topology of the carrier, which need not be the subspace topology from
M. - chartedSpace : ChartedSpace (EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin k)) self.carrier
The carrier is charted by the
k-dimensional Euclidean model. - isManifold : IsManifold (modelWithCornersSelf ℝ (EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin k))) n self.carrier
The carrier is a manifold of regularity
n. The carrier is nonempty, so a packaged integral manifold is never vacuous.
- map : self.carrier → M
The parametrizing immersion into the ambient manifold.
- isImmersion : Manifold.IsImmersion (modelWithCornersSelf ℝ (EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin k))) I n self.map
The parametrization is a
C^nimmersion. The image of the differential is exactly the distribution fiber.

An integral immersion, of regularity at least one, of a finite-dimensional constant distribution locally stays in one affine plaque.
An integral immersion of a finite-dimensional constant distribution has a partial-diffeomorphism chart into its direction subspace at every interior source point. The chart sends the point to zero and identifies the immersion with translation of the subtype inclusion. Its source lies inside the specified open neighborhood.
Two integral immersions of the same finite-dimensional constant distribution, through the same ambient point, are related near interior source points by a partial diffeomorphism intertwining their ambient maps.
