Smoothness of the normal exponential #

The natural domain of the normal exponential is open in the intrinsic normal bundle, and the normal exponential is smooth there. Both statements concern the total space, so the base point and normal vector vary together. The domain contains the zero section by SmoothEmbedding.zeroSection_mem_normalExpDomain.

These are the regularity inputs to the inverse function theorem in the construction of tubular neighbourhoods. They do not assert injectivity or the existence of a tubular diffeomorphism.

The natural normal-exponential domain is open in the total intrinsic normal bundle.

The normal exponential is C^m on its natural open domain in the total normal bundle for a C^n embedding with m + 1 ≤ n.
