Riemannian metrics induced by immersions into inner product spaces #
A C^(n+1) map f : M → F from a finite-dimensional manifold to a real inner product space whose
differential is injective at every point pulls the inner product of F back to a C^n Riemannian
metric on M:
g_x(v, w) = ⟪df_x v, df_x w⟫.
This is the first fundamental form of an immersed submanifold of Euclidean space, and the way the classical model spaces such as the round sphere receive their metrics.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.inducedRiemannianMetric: theC^nRiemannian metric induced by such a map.
Main statements #
TauCeti.inducedRiemannianMetric_inner: the induced inner product of two tangent vectors is the inner product of their images under the differential.

Mathlib's derived IsNormableSpace instance on TangentSpace I x is stated with the model
space's Module instance instead of the tangent space's own one, so instance search never finds
it; restate it against the tangent space's structure.
The Riemannian metric induced on M by a C^(n+1) map f : M → F into a real inner product
space whose differential is injective at every point: the inner product of two tangent vectors is
the inner product of their images under the differential mvfderiv I f x of f, read in F.
