Intrinsic normal vector bundles in manifolds #
The intrinsic normal spaces of a positive-regularity embedding between finite-dimensional manifolds form a vector bundle. The total space retains its quotient topology from the pulled-back ambient tangent bundle. No metric or boundarylessness assumption is needed.
Local coordinates use a fixed complement to the differential in tangent charts, identified with any chosen model of the codimension. These are the normal bundles needed for tubular neighbourhoods in an arbitrary ambient manifold.
The construction combines normalSpaceEquivOfComplement and
normalSpaceTrivializationOfComplement. For the tubular-neighbourhood context, see
M. Hirsch, Differential Topology, Chapter 4, ยงยง5โ6.
Preferred local coordinates on the intrinsic normal bundle in an arbitrary ambient manifold, using a fixed model of the codimension. The total space has its quotient topology.
Instances For
The preferred intrinsic normal coordinates contain their reference point.
The preferred intrinsic normal coordinates at xโ invert by one fixed complementary
representative: their base set lies in the source and ambient charts at xโ, and over it the
normal vector with coordinates w is the normal class of the ambient tangent vector whose
coordinates in the tangent chart at f xโ are B w, for a fixed B : P โL[๐] V.
Preferred intrinsic normal coordinates are linear on each fibre.
Transition operators for the preferred intrinsic normal coordinates are continuous.
Transition operators for the preferred intrinsic normal coordinates are C^m for a
C^n embedding when m + 1 โค n.
The intrinsic normal fibre bundle in an arbitrary finite-dimensional ambient manifold. Install it locally to select the complementary-coordinate atlas. Its topology is the existing quotient topology on intrinsic normal classes.
Instances For
The preferred bundle chart is the chosen complementary normal chart.
The intrinsic normal atlas consists exactly of the chosen complementary charts.
The intrinsic normal fibres form a vector bundle with their quotient topology.
The intrinsic normal spaces of a C^n embedding form a C^m vector bundle when
m + 1 โค n, retaining their quotient total-space topology.
