Tangent maps of Riemannian isometries #
The differential of a smooth Riemannian isometry at each point is a linear isometric equivalence
of tangent spaces. Its inverse is the differential of the inverse Riemannian isometry. Together
with the tangent-bundle diffeomorphism Diffeomorph.tangent, this is the tangent-level transport
used for initial velocities and velocity lifts of curves.
