Coordinate displacement is bounded by Riemannian path length #
This file supplies local analytic bridges between the Riemannian distance and coordinate charts.
If the chart derivative is bounded along a C¹ path, the coordinate displacement of the path is
bounded by that derivative bound times its Riemannian length. Fix a point x and r > 1. Every
continuous linear map from T_x M to a real normed space, read in the extended chart at x,
satisfies a Lipschitz bound at the base point x for the Riemannian distance: for all y in a
neighbourhood of x (depending on r), its displacement from x to y is at most r times its
norm times the distance from x to y.
This is the chart-level estimate needed when transferring vector-valued variation estimates to
Manifold.pathELength in the Hopf--Rinow lower-semicontinuity argument. The proof uses the
interval-integral estimate
enorm_sub_le_lintegral_derivWithin_Icc_of_contDiffOn_Icc and the chain rule for mfderivWithin.
The interval-integral estimate and the local-coordinate differential argument follow the
corresponding constructions in Mathlib's Geometry/Manifold/Riemannian/Basic.lean.

Along a C¹ path which stays where the chart at x distorts Riemannian norms by at most
r, a continuous linear map ℓ from T_x M to F, read in that chart, changes by at most
r ‖ℓ‖ times the length of the path.
A map with bounded differential is Lipschitz for the Riemannian distance. If a C¹ map
f to a real normed space stretches every tangent vector by a factor at most C ≠ 0, then the
distance between the images of two points is at most C times their Riemannian distance. The
condition C ≠ 0 cannot be dropped: a locally constant map has zero differential, while points of
different components are at infinite Riemannian distance and 0 * ∞ = 0.
Sharp local Lipschitz bound for the extended chart. For r > 1, near x every continuous
linear map ℓ from T_x M to a real normed space, read in the extended chart at x, is
(r ‖ℓ‖)-Lipschitz at x for the Riemannian distance.
