Warped products of Riemannian manifolds #
Given Riemannian manifolds M and N and a nowhere vanishing function f : M → ℝ, the
warped product M ×_f N is M × N with the Riemannian metric
⟪(u₁, u₂), (v₁, v₂)⟫ = ⟪u₁, v₁⟫ + f(x)² ⟪u₂, v₂⟫
at (x, y). The fibres {x} × N are copies of N rescaled by the constant f(x)², the
horizontal slices M × {y} are isometric copies of M, and the two are orthogonal. A constant
warping function f = 1 gives the product metric, which
TauCeti.Geometry.Manifold.Riemannian.Prod.Basic constructs as that case. Warped products are the
standard models of rotationally symmetric metrics: the Euclidean metric away from the origin is
(0, ∞) ×_r S^(n-1), the round sphere minus two antipodal points is (0, π) ×_(sin r) S^(n-1),
and hyperbolic space minus a point is (0, ∞) ×_(sinh r) S^(n-1).
The predicate TauCeti.Manifold.IsWarpedProduct I J N f says that the Riemannian metric installed
on M × N is the warped product of the metrics installed on the factors. Geometric quantities of a
warped product, such as its Levi-Civita connection, are computed for any metric satisfying it, so
that they apply both to the construction below and to any metric shown to have the warped form.

The warped product of Riemannian metrics g₁ on M and g₂ on N with a nowhere vanishing

The Riemannian metric installed on M × N is the warped product of the metrics of M

The inner product of the warped product.
Instances For
The tangent space of a warped product is isometric to the L² product of the factor
tangent spaces after multiplying the vertical component by the warping function.
The inverse divides the vertical component by that function, so it transports product
orthonormal bases to orthonormal bases for the warped metric.
Instances For
The warped tangent isometry multiplies precisely the vertical component by f.
The inverse warped tangent isometry divides the vertical component by f.
Where the warping function vanishes, a warped product has no vertical vectors, because the installed metric is positive definite.
