Main Body


1: Description


For any C manifolds, M1 and M2, and any map, f:M1M2, f is continuous in the topological sense if and only if f is continuous in the norm sense for the coordinates functions.


2: Proof


Suppose that f is continuous in the norm sense for the coordinates functions. For any open set, U2M2, around any point, m2U2, there is a chart, (Um2,ϕm2),ϕm2:Um2ϕm2(Um2)Rd2 where Um2U2. f1(m2) may consist of multiple points, but around any point, m1f1(m2), there is a chart, (Um1,ϕm1),ϕm1:Um1ϕm1(Um1)Rd1, and by the continuousness in the norm sense, for any open ball, Bϕ2(m2)ϵϕm2(Um2), there is an open ball, Bϕ1(m1)δϕm1(Um1), such that ϕm2(f(ϕm11(Bϕ1(m1)δ)))Bϕ2(m2)ϵ. But ϕm11(Bϕ1(m1)δ), open on M1, is included in f1(U2), because f(ϕm11(Bϕ1(m1)δ))ϕm21(Bϕ2(m2)ϵ)U2. As {m1}=f1(U2), there is an open set, ϕm11(Bϕ1(m1)δ)f1(U2), at any point, m1f1(U2), so, by the local criterion for openness, f1(U2) is open. So, as the preimage of any open set is open, f is continuous in the topological sense.

Suppose that f is continuous in the topological sense. For any point, m1M1 where f(m1)=m2, there is a chart, (Um2,ϕm2),ϕm2:Um2ϕm2(Um2)Rd2. There is an open ball, Bϕm2ϵϕm2(Um2), and by the continuousness in the topological sense, f1(ϕm21(Bϕm2ϵ)) is open including m1, so, there is a chart, (Um1,ϕm1),ϕm1:Um1ϕm1(Um1)Rd1 where Um1f1(ϕm21(Bϕm2ϵ)), and an open ball, Bϕm1δϕm1(Um1), which satisfies ϕm2(f(ϕm11(Bϕm1δ)))Bϕm2ϵ, because Bϕm1δ is included in ϕm1(Um1) and Um1 is included in f1(ϕm21(Bϕm2ϵ)), which means that f(ϕm11(Bϕm1δ)) is included in ϕm21(Bϕm2ϵ), which means that ϕm2(f(ϕm11(Bϕm1δ))) is included in Bϕm2ϵ.


3: Note


While prevalently the continuousness of a map in topological sense is claimed by the continuousness of coordinates functions in norm sense, the argument is valid only because of this proposition or a like.
