Disjoint unions of Riemannian manifolds #
The disjoint union M ⊕ M' of two manifolds modelled on the same space carries the Riemannian
metric which is a given metric g₁ on M and a given metric g₂ on M'. This file constructs
that metric and shows that it is C^n when g₁ and g₂ are. Each summand is open in M ⊕ M'
and its charts are those of the summand, so near a point of M the tangent-bundle trivializations
of M ⊕ M' are those of M, and the metric there is read in the same coordinates as g₁.
Disjoint unions are how manifolds with several components, such as the boundary of a bordism,
are assembled from connected pieces; the curvature of the disjoint union metric is computed in
TauCeti.Geometry.Manifold.Riemannian.Isometry.Sum.

The disjoint union of C^n Riemannian metrics g₁ on M and g₂ on M': the C^n
Riemannian metric on M ⊕ M' which is g₁ on M and g₂ on M'.
Instances For
On M, the disjoint union of the metrics g₁ and g₂ is g₁.
On M', the disjoint union of the metrics g₁ and g₂ is g₂.
