Postcomposing smooth isotopies with local diffeomorphisms #
A smooth isotopy whose motion stays in a set s, postcomposed with a map which is a local
diffeomorphism at every point of s and a topological embedding on s, is again a smooth
isotopy. The map need not be defined smoothly, or injective, away from s, so this applies to the
inverse of a chart on a motion confined to the chart's target, and to radial contractions of a
model space.
This is the smooth counterpart of TauCeti.Isotopy.postcomp, where any topological embedding may
be applied; here the time slices must remain smooth embeddings, which
TauCeti.isSmoothEmbedding_isLocalDiffeomorphAt_comp provides.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.SmoothIsotopy.postcomp: postcompose a smooth isotopy confined toswith a map which is a local diffeomorphism alongsand a topological embedding ons.
Postcompose a smooth isotopy with a map k which is a local diffeomorphism at every point of
a set s containing the motion, and a topological embedding on s. The endpoints g₀ and g₁
are supplied as bundled maps agreeing with k ∘ f₀ and k ∘ f₁, since k itself need not be
smooth away from s.
