(G, X)-manifolds #
Let a group G act on a topological space X by homeomorphisms. Thurston's pseudogroup generated
by G consists of the homeomorphisms between open subsets of X that agree, near each point of
their domain, with the action of some element of G. In Mathlib's language this is a structure
groupoid on X, TauCeti.smulGroupoid G X, built from the pregroupoid
TauCeti.smulPregroupoid G X exactly as contDiffGroupoid and conformalGroupoid are built from
theirs.
A (G, X)-manifold is then a charted space M over X whose transition maps lie in this groupoid,
that is [ChartedSpace X M] [HasGroupoid M (smulGroupoid G X)]; no new structure is introduced.
Specialising (G, X) gives the classical geometric structures: Euclidean manifolds for the
isometries of Euclidean space, spherical manifolds for the orthogonal group acting on the sphere,
and hyperbolic manifolds for the isometries of hyperbolic space.
Two results connect this notion to the rest of the manifold library.
- If
Xis aC^nmanifold modelled onIandGacts byC^nmaps, then a (G, X)-manifold is aC^nmanifold for the charts obtained by composing itsX-valued charts with the charts ofX(TauCeti.isManifold_of_hasGroupoid_smulGroupoid). So geometric structures are in particular smooth structures. - The orbit space
X / Γof a free, properly discontinuous action of a groupΓ, with the charts ofMulAction.instChartedSpaceQuotient, is a (Γ, X)-manifold (TauCeti.hasGroupoid_smulGroupoid_quotient), and a (G, X)-manifold whenΓis a subgroup ofG(TauCeti.hasGroupoid_smulGroupoid_quotient_subgroup). This is the source of (G, X)-manifolds of the formX / Γ. More generally, the charts pushed forward along a surjective local homeomorphismX → Mwhose deck transformations are locally given byGform a (G, X)-atlas (IsLocalHomeomorph.hasGroupoid_smulGroupoid_chartedSpaceOfRightInverse).
The deck-transformation hypothesis has the shape of the one in
IsLocalHomeomorph.isManifold_chartedSpaceOfRightInverse
(TauCeti/Geometry/Manifold/Instances/Quotient.lean), where the deck transformations are only
required to be C^n. The developing map and completeness of a (G, X)-structure are not treated
here.

property on u if near each point of u it agrees with x ↦ g • x for some g : G.
Instances For
The structure groupoid of open partial homeomorphisms of X that are locally given by the
action of G. When G is a group, this is Thurston's pseudogroup generated by G, and a charted
space over X with this groupoid is a (G, X)-manifold.
Instances For
If the action of each element of G on X is the action of some element of G', then every
map locally given by G is locally given by G'. This applies in particular to a subgroup of G'
and to a group acting through a homomorphism to G'.
An open partial homeomorphism of X lies in smulGroupoid G X exactly when it is locally
given by the action of G on its source. The same condition on the inverse then holds
automatically.
The action of an element of G, as a homeomorphism of X, lies in smulGroupoid G X.
A charted space over X is a (G, X)-manifold exactly when each transition map between two of
its charts agrees, near each point of its source, with the action of an element of G.
Near a point y of its source, every chart of a (G, X)-manifold is the preferred chart at y
followed by the action of an element of G.
The groupoid smulGroupoid G X is closed under restriction, so open subsets of a
(G, X)-manifold inherit the same (G, X)-structure.
(G, X)-manifolds are C^n manifolds #
When G acts on X by C^n maps, every member of smulGroupoid G X is C^n on its
source.
When G acts on X by C^n maps, every member of smulGroupoid G X is a C^n local
diffeomorphism of X.
A (G, X)-manifold, for an action of G by C^n maps on a C^n manifold X modelled on I,
is a C^n manifold for the composite charts ChartedSpace.comp H X M.
In a (G, X)-manifold, for an action of G by C^n maps, every X-valued chart is C^n on
its source for the composite charts ChartedSpace.comp H X M.
Quotients and deck transformations #
Let f : X → M be a local homeomorphism with a right inverse, whose deck transformations are
locally given by the action of G: whenever f z = f w, some g : G sends z to w and
satisfies f (g • y) = f y for y near z. Then the charts that f pushes forward from X
make M a (G, X)-manifold.
The orbit space of a free, properly discontinuous action of a group Γ on X, with the charts
pushed forward along the orbit projection, is a (Γ, X)-manifold.
The orbit space X / Γ of a free, properly discontinuous action of a subgroup Γ of G is a
(G, X)-manifold.
