The unit codisc and cosphere bundles of a Riemannian manifold #
A Riemannian metric g on a manifold M measures covectors, and so singles out two subsets of the
cotangent bundle T*M = TauCeti.CotangentBundle I M:
- the unit codisc bundle
D*M = {z | ‖z.2‖ ≤ 1}(TauCeti.CotangentBundle.codiscBundle); - the unit cosphere bundle
S*M = {z | ‖z.2‖ = 1}(TauCeti.CotangentBundle.cosphereBundle).
Here ‖p‖ is the norm of a covector for g, the operator norm for the metric norm on the tangent
space. With the canonical symplectic form of T*M and the Liouville form -λ, the codisc bundle
of a compact manifold is the standard example of a Liouville domain, and these are the sets on
which the symplectic capacities of cotangent bundles are computed. This file establishes their
point-set and smooth structure.
Both sets are closed, and compact when M is compact
(TauCeti.CotangentBundle.isCompact_codiscBundle) by IsCompact.norm_le_bundle_of_continuous:
near each point the bundle coordinates of a covector are bounded by a multiple of its norm, since
the inverse tangent trivialization is locally bounded.
Since every nonzero value is a regular value of the norm of covectors
(TauCeti.CotangentBundle.isRegularValue_norm_snd), S*M is a regular level. For a smooth metric
on a boundaryless manifold, it carries the atlas TauCeti.regularLevelChartedSpace of
regular levels, for which it is a smooth manifold of dimension dim T*M - 1
(TauCeti.CotangentBundle.instIsManifoldCosphereBundle) and a smoothly embedded hypersurface of
T*M (TauCeti.CotangentBundle.isSmoothEmbedding_coe_cosphereBundle) whose tangent spaces are
the kernels of the differential of the norm
(TauCeti.CotangentBundle.range_mfderiv_coe_cosphereBundle).
