Orientation-preserving coordinate changes and oriented atlases #
Within-range transition derivatives define the orientation-preserving groupoid and oriented subatlases, including at boundary and corner points. An oriented atlas supplies an orientation; the interval is orientable although its half-line charts have opposite transition signs.

A map f : H → H preserves orientation on s, read in the model through I: at the image
I x of each point x ∈ s, the coordinate expression I ∘ f ∘ I.symm is differentiable within
range I, with derivative of positive determinant. The model vector space E is
finite-dimensional, as determinants are only meaningful there; the determinant is that of the
matrix of the derivative in the basis Module.finBasis ℝ E, which is LinearMap.det of the
derivative (TauCeti.orientationPreservingOn_iff).
Instances For
Unfold TauCeti.OrientationPreservingOn, with the determinant of the derivative stated
basis-free as LinearMap.det.
Orientation preservation on a set is inherited by its subsets.
The identity preserves orientation on every set.
A composite of orientation-preserving maps preserves orientation.
On an open set, orientation preservation only depends on the values of the map there.
Given a model with corners (E, H), the pregroupoid of orientation-preserving maps of H:
those whose coordinate expression in E has derivative of positive determinant.
Instances For
Given a model with corners (E, H), the groupoid of orientation-preserving open partial
homeomorphisms of H: both the map and its inverse have derivatives of positive determinant when
read in E through I.
Instances For
Membership in TauCeti.orientationPreservingGroupoid, unfolded: the map preserves orientation
on its source and its inverse preserves orientation on its target.
The identity of an open set belongs to the orientation-preserving groupoid.
The orientation-preserving groupoid is closed under restriction to open subsets.
A product of orientation-preserving maps preserves orientation in the product model: the derivative of the product is block diagonal, so its determinant is the product of the two.
The product of two orientation-preserving open partial homeomorphisms preserves orientation in the product model.
Linear coordinate changes #
On the model vector space itself, a linear automorphism preserves orientation exactly when its
determinant is positive. In particular the reflection of ℝ is a smooth coordinate change that
reverses orientation, so some smooth coordinate changes are excluded from the
orientation-preserving groupoid and an oriented atlas is a genuine constraint.
A continuous linear map of the model vector space preserves orientation on a set exactly when the set is empty or the determinant of the map is positive.
A linear automorphism of the model vector space, viewed as a coordinate change, belongs to the orientation-preserving groupoid exactly when its determinant is positive.
The reflection x ↦ -x of ℝ is a smooth coordinate change that reverses orientation: the
C^n groupoid of ℝ is not contained in the orientation-preserving groupoid.
Oriented atlases #
An oriented atlas of the C^n manifold M, for n ≠ 0: a family of charts from its maximal
C^n atlas which covers M and whose coordinate changes all preserve orientation.

Every chart of an oriented atlas is compatible with the
C^nstructure ofM. The charts of an oriented atlas cover

The coordinate changes of an oriented atlas preserve orientation.

The atlas of a manifold whose coordinate changes all preserve orientation is an oriented atlas.
Two charts of an oriented atlas change coordinates with derivative of positive determinant at every point of their common domain.
The products of the charts of two oriented atlases form an oriented atlas of the product.
