Transverse fibre products of manifolds #
For transverse smooth maps f : X → N and g : Y → N, the subtype
{p : X × Y // f p.1 = g p.2} is an embedded manifold with its inherited topology and
model dimension dim X + dim Y - dim N. Its tangent vectors are exactly the pairs with
equal images under the differentials of f and g.
TauCeti.transverseFiberProductChartedSpace glues the coordinate-patch fibre products of
PartialDiffeomorph.exists_isManifold_localFiberProduct_isSmoothEmbedding. It is a named,
non-instance atlas, characterized by TauCeti.isManifold_transverseFiberProduct,
TauCeti.isSmoothEmbedding_coe_transverseFiberProduct, and
TauCeti.mem_range_mfderiv_coe_transverseFiberProduct_iff. The existence-only form is
TauCeti.exists_isManifold_transverseFiberProduct_isSmoothEmbedding.
The embedding gives the smooth universal property via
Manifold.IsSmoothEmbedding.contMDiff_iff_comp: a map into the fibre product is smooth
exactly when both component maps are smooth. In particular both projections are smooth.
No Hausdorff or countability assumptions are used, and the fibre product may be empty.

The transverse fibre-product theorem. The actual equal-value subtype of two transverse
C^n maps, n ≥ 1, is a C^n manifold of dimension dim X + dim Y - dim N with its
subspace topology. Its inclusion is a smooth embedding, and its tangent image consists of
pairs whose images under the two differentials agree. Empty fibre products are allowed;
no separation or countability hypotheses are needed.
A fixed atlas on the transverse fibre product, chosen from the construction by gluing embedded target-coordinate patches. It uses the subspace topology and is not a global instance. Its manifold, embedding, and tangent-image properties are given by the lemmas below.
Instances For
The transverse fibre product with its chosen atlas is a C^n manifold.
The inclusion of the transverse fibre product with its chosen atlas is a smooth embedding.
A tangent vector lies in the image of the fibre-product inclusion exactly when its two components have equal images under the differentials of the defining maps.
