Twisted products of smooth symplectic forms #
The form on M × N used for Lagrangian correspondences is pr₁*σ - pr₂*τ.
It is the product form TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.prod of σ and -τ
(TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.twistedProd_eq_prod_neg), so nondegeneracy and closedness are
inherited from the two factors through the product form. Its value on each tangent
space is the existing linear twisted product. These comparisons let the linear theory
of Lagrangian graphs apply to graphs of maps between manifolds.
Two sign laws govern the operations on correspondences. Exchanging the factors pulls
pr₁*τ - pr₂*σ on N × M back to -(pr₁*σ - pr₂*τ) on M × N
(TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.mpullback_prodComm_twistedProd), so transposing a relation negates
its form. Regrouping (M × N) × (M' × N') as (M × M') × (N × N') pulls the twisted product
of the product forms back to the product of the twisted products
(TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.mpullback_prodProdProdComm_twistedProd_prod).
