Regularity of the differential in fixed tangent charts #
The differential of a C^n map f, read in the fixed source tangent chart at xโ
and target tangent chart at f xโ, is C^m throughout their overlap when m + 1 โค n.
The source and target manifolds are C^(m+1); boundary and corners are allowed.
Smooth and analytic orders are included, without shrinking separately for each finite
differentiability order.
These operator families give the ranges whose quotients are the intrinsic normal fibres of an embedding. Their regularity on one chart overlap permits a single smooth family of fixed complementary coordinates for that normal bundle.
Reuse Mathlib's ContMDiffAt.mfderiv_const for regularity in charts centred at
the evaluation point, and its smooth tangent-bundle transitions to change centres.

A C^n map f at x has a C^m differential in the fixed source tangent chart
at xโ and target tangent chart at f xโ, provided they contain x and f x,
respectively, and m + 1 โค n. The source chart centre xโ need not be x.
On an open domain, a C^n map f has a C^m coordinate differential on the
overlap of the fixed source tangent chart at xโ and target tangent chart at f xโ.
A globally C^n map f has a C^m differential on the overlap of the fixed source
tangent chart at xโ and target tangent chart at f xโ, including at smooth and analytic
orders.
