Families of fields of bilinear forms on the tangent bundle #
This file collects regularity results for a one-parameter family b_s of fields of bilinear forms
on TM, jointly C^n in (s, x) as a map into the bundle of bilinear forms on TM. No metric,
symmetry or nondegeneracy is assumed.

Pairing two C^n vector fields with a jointly C^n family of fields of bilinear forms gives
a jointly C^n family of functions.
The parameter curve s ↦ b s x u w of a family of fields of bilinear forms, jointly C¹ at

For a family of fields of bilinear forms, jointly C² at (t, x), and vector fields V, W
that are C² at x, the parameter derivative of the differential at x of the pairing
y ↦ b_s(V, W) is the differential of the parameter derivative of the pairing.
Regularity of the parameter derivative of a family of bilinear forms. Let b_s be a family
of fields of bilinear forms on TM, jointly C^n in (s, y) at (t, x), and let h be its
parameter derivative at s = t near x. Then h is a C^m field of bilinear forms at x
whenever m + 1 ≤ n.
The parameter derivative h of a family of fields of bilinear forms, jointly C² at (t, x),
pairs vector fields differentiable at x to a function differentiable at x.
