Local trivializations of intrinsic normal bundles #
The intrinsic normal spaces of a smooth embedding in an arbitrary ambient manifold admit local product coordinates. Fix source and ambient tangent charts at a point and a closed complement to the coordinate differential there. On a sufficiently small open set, projection along the moving tangent range identifies every intrinsic normal fibre with that fixed complement.
This file assembles those fibrewise equivalences into a topological bundle trivialization while retaining the quotient topology on the intrinsic normal total space. Its forward coordinate map is the quotient-range coordinate operator in tangent charts, and its inverse takes the normal class of the fixed complementary representative. The construction is the local topological input for the normal vector bundle and the tubular-neighbourhood theorem in a general ambient manifold.
The construction follows J. M. Lee, Introduction to Smooth Manifolds, second edition, the
normal-bundle construction preceding Theorem 6.24. It uses the quotient-total-space coordinates in
SmoothEmbedding.normalQuotientMap and the intrinsic fibre coordinates in
SmoothEmbedding.normalSpaceEquivOfComplement.
Local product coordinates on the intrinsic normal bundle from a fixed complement in tangent coordinates. The total space retains its quotient topology from ambient tangent representatives.
The open set must lie in the source and ambient tangent-chart domains, and B must complement the
coordinate differential throughout it. Joint continuity of the quotient coordinates of ambient
representatives over the open set is the only regularity input needed for this topological
trivialization. For a normed model fibre it follows from continuity of the operator-valued
quotient coordinate, via ContinuousOn.clm_apply.
Instances For
The base set of complementary normal coordinates is the prescribed open set.
Complementary normal coordinates are the fibre equivalence supplied by the tangent charts.
Inverse complementary normal coordinates take the normal class of the corresponding complementary ambient tangent vector.
Complementary normal coordinates are linear on every fibre over their base set.
