The derivative of functions between smooth manifolds #
Let M
and M'
be two smooth manifolds with corners over a field π
(with respective models with
corners I
on (E, H)
and I'
on (E', H')
), and let f : M β M'
. We define the
derivative of the function at a point, within a set or along the whole space, mimicking the API
for (FrΓ©chet) derivatives. It is denoted by mfderiv I I' f x
, where "m" stands for "manifold" and
"f" for "FrΓ©chet" (as in the usual derivative fderiv π f x
).
Main definitions #
UniqueMDiffOn I s
: predicate saying that, at each point of the sets
, a function can have at most one derivative. This technical condition is important when we definemfderivWithin
below, as otherwise there is an arbitrary choice in the derivative, and many properties will fail (for instance the chain rule). This is analogous toUniqueDiffOn π s
in a vector space.
Let f
be a map between smooth manifolds. The following definitions follow the fderiv
API.
mfderiv I I' f x
: the derivative off
atx
, as a continuous linear map from the tangent space atx
to the tangent space atf x
. If the map is not differentiable, this is0
.mfderivWithin I I' f s x
: the derivative off
atx
withins
, as a continuous linear map from the tangent space atx
to the tangent space atf x
. If the map is not differentiable withins
, this is0

.MDifferentiableOn I I' f s
: Prop expressing thatf

.MDifferentiable I I' f
: Prop expressing thatf
is differentiable everywhere.tangentMap I I' f
: the derivative off
, as a map from the tangent bundle ofM
to the tangent bundle ofM'
.
We also establish results on the differential of the identity, constant functions, charts, extended charts. For functions between vector spaces, we show that the usual notions and the manifold notions coincide.
Implementation notes #
The tangent bundle is constructed using the machinery of topological fiber bundles, for which one
can define bundled morphisms and construct canonically maps from the total space of one bundle to
the total space of another one. One could use this mechanism to construct directly the derivative
of a smooth map. However, we want to define the derivative of any map (and let it be zero if the map
is not differentiable) to avoid proof arguments everywhere. This means we have to go back to the
details of the definition of the total space of a fiber bundle constructed from core, to cook up a
suitable definition of the derivative. It is the following: at each point, we have a preferred chart
(used to identify the fiber above the point with the model vector space in fiber bundles). Then one
should read the function using these preferred charts at x
and f x
, and take the derivative
of f
in these charts.
Due to the fact that we are working in a model with corners, with an additional embedding I
of the
model space H
in the model vector space E
, the charts taking values in E
are not the original
charts of the manifold, but those ones composed with I
, called extended charts. We define
writtenInExtChartAt I I' x f
for the function f
written in the preferred extended charts. Then
the manifold derivative of f
, at x
, is just the usual derivative of
writtenInExtChartAt I I' x f
, at the point (extChartAt I x) x
.
There is a subtelty with respect to continuity: if the function is not continuous, then the image
of a small open set around x
will not be contained in the source of the preferred chart around
f x
, which means that when reading f
in the chart one is losing some information. To avoid this,
we include continuity in the definition of differentiablity (which is reasonable since with any
definition, differentiability implies continuity).
Warning: the derivative (even within a subset) is a linear map on the whole tangent space. Suppose
that one is given a smooth submanifold N
, and a function which is smooth on N
(i.e., its
restriction to the subtype N
is smooth). Then, in the whole manifold M
, the property
MDifferentiableOn I I' f N
holds. However, mfderivWithin I I' f N
is not uniquely defined
(what values would one choose for vectors that are transverse to N
?), which can create issues down
the road. The problem here is that knowing the value of f
along N
does not determine the
differential of f
in all directions. This is in contrast to the case where N
would be an open
subset, or a submanifold with boundary of maximal dimension, where this issue does not appear.
The predicate UniqueMDiffOn I N
indicates that the derivative along N
is unique if it exists,
and is an assumption in most statements requiring a form of uniqueness.
On a vector space, the manifold derivative and the usual derivative are equal. This means in particular that they live on the same space, i.e., the tangent space is defeq to the original vector space. To get this property is a motivation for our definition of the tangent space as a single copy of the vector space, instead of more usual definitions such as the space of derivations, or the space of equivalence classes of smooth curves in the manifold.

Derivative of maps between manifolds #
The derivative of a smooth map f
between smooth manifold M
and M'
at x
is a bounded linear
map from the tangent space to M
at x
, to the tangent space to M'
at f x
. Since we defined
the tangent space using one specific chart, the formula for the derivative is written in terms of
this specific chart.
We use the names MDifferentiable
and mfderiv
, where the prefix letter m
means "manifold".
