Products of smooth symplectic forms #
The product of two manifolds (M, σ) and (N, τ) carrying two-forms carries the product form
pr₁*σ + pr₂*τ (TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.prod σ τ). On the tangent space at p = (x, y), which
is T_x M × T_y N, it pairs (v, w) with (v', w') to σ(v, v') + τ(w, w'), so its value on
each tangent space is the linear direct-sum form TauCeti.SymplecticForm.prod. Nondegeneracy and
closedness are inherited from the factors, so the product of two symplectic manifolds is a
symplectic manifold. This is the symplectic structure in which products of isotropic,
coisotropic and Lagrangian submanifolds of the factors are again of the same kind
(TauCeti.Geometry.Symplectic.Lagrangian.Prod).

Instances For
The product form is the sum of the pullbacks from its factors.
Evaluation of the product form on a family of two tangent vectors.
The product form evaluates on two tangent vectors of M × N as the sum of the factor forms
on their components.
Nondegenerate factors give a nondegenerate product form.
The tangent-space form of a product of nondegenerate forms is, under the identification
T_(x, y) (M × N) = T_x M × T_y N, the linear direct sum of the tangent-space forms of the
factors.
Closed factors give a closed product form.
The product of symplectic manifolds is symplectic.
