Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any finite-product \(C^\infty\) manifold with boundary and the 'vectors spaces - linear morphisms' isomorphism from the tangent vectors space at each point onto the direct sum of the corresponding tangent vectors spaces of the constituents, any tangent vector operates on any function as the sum of the corresponding vectors on the projected functions.

1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(\{M_1, ..., M_{n - 1}\}\): \(\subseteq \{\text{ the } C^\infty \text{ manifolds }\}\)
\(M_n\): \(\in \{\text{ the } C^\infty \text{ manifolds with boundary }\}\)
\(M_1 \times ... \times M_n\): \(= \text{ the finite-product } C^\infty \text{ manifold with boundary }\)
\(m\): \(= (m^1, ..., m^n) \in M_1 \times ... \times M_n\)
\(g\): \(: T_m(M_1 \times ... \times M_n) \to T_{m^1}M_1 \oplus ... \oplus T_{m^n}M_n, v_m \mapsto (d \pi_1 v_m, ..., d \pi_n v_m)\), \(= \text{ the canonical 'vectors spaces - linear morphisms' isomorphism }\)
\(v_m\): \(\in T_m(M_1 \times ... \times M_n)\)
\(f\): \(\in C^{\infty} (M_1 \times ... \times M_n)\)
//

Statements:
\(v_m f = \sum_{j \in \{1, ..., n\}} (d \pi_j v_m) f_{j, m}\)
//


2: Note


We know that \(v_m\) corresponds to \((d \pi_1 v_m, ..., d \pi_n v_m)\), but so what? I mean, how can we get \(v_m f\) with respect to \((d \pi_1 v_m, ..., d \pi_n v_m)\)? Certainly, \(d \pi_j v_m\) cannot operate on \(f\), because \(f\) is not any function on \(M_j\). So, what?, which is the motivation of this proposition.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take any chart around \(m\), \((U_m := U_{m^1} \times ... \times U_{m^n} \subseteq M_1 \times ... \times M_n, \phi_m := \phi_{m^1} \times ... \times \phi_{m^n})\), and let \(v_m = v_m^{1, j_1} \partial / \partial x^{1, j_1} + ... + v_m^{n, j_n} \partial / \partial x^{n, j_n}\); Step 2: see that \(v_m f = \sum_{j \in \{1, ..., n\}} (d \pi_j v_m) f_{j, m}\).

Step 1:

Let us take any chart around \(m\), \((U_m := U_{m^1} \times ... \times U_{m^n} \subseteq M_1 \times ... \times M_n, \phi_m := \phi_{m^1} \times ... \times \phi_{m^n})\), where \((U_{m^j} \subseteq M_j, \phi_{m^j})\) is a chart around \(m^j\) for \(M_j\), which is possible by the definition of finite-product \(C^\infty\) manifold with boundary.

\(v_m = v_m^{1, j_1} \partial / \partial x^{1, j_1} + ... + v_m^{n, j_n} \partial / \partial x^{n, j_n}\).

Step 2:

\(v_m f = v_m^{1, j_1} \partial f / \partial x^{1, j_1} + ... + v_m^{n, j_n} \partial f / \partial x^{n, j_n}\).

\((d \pi_l v_m) f_{l, m} = v_m (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l) = v_m^{1, j_1} \partial (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l) / \partial x^{1, j_1} + ... + v_m^{n, j_n} (\partial f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l) / \partial x^{n, j_n}\).

\(v_m^{o, j_o} \partial (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l) / \partial x^{o, j_o} = v_m^{o, j_o} \partial_{o, j_o} (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l \circ {\phi_m}^{-1})\), where \(\partial_{o, j_o}\) is the partial derivative by the \(o, j_o\) component.

\(f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l \circ {\phi_m}^{-1}\) is \((x'^{1, 1}, ..., x'^{1, d_1}, ..., x'^{l, 1}, ..., x'^{l, d_l}, ..., x'^{n, 1}, ..., x'^{n, d_n}) \mapsto (m'^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m'^n) \mapsto m'^l \mapsto f_{l, m} (m'^l) = f (m^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m^n)\).

So, when \(o \neq l\), \(v_m^{o, j_o} \partial_{o, j_o} (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l \circ {\phi_m}^{-1}) = 0\), because \(f (m^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m^n)\) does not depend on \((x'^{o, 1}, ..., x'^{o, d_o})\).

So, \((d \pi_l v_m) f_{l, m} = v_m^{l, j_l} \partial_{l, j_l} (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l \circ {\phi_m}^{-1})\).

On the other hand, \(v_m^{l, j_l} \partial f / \partial x^{l, j_l} = v_m^{l, j_l} \partial_{l, j_l} (f \circ {\phi_m}^{-1})\).

\(f \circ {\phi_m}^{-1}\) is \((x'^{1, 1}, ..., x'^{1, d_1}, ..., x'^{l, 1}, ..., x'^{l, d_l}, ..., x'^{n, 1}, ..., x'^{n, d_n}) \mapsto (m'^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m'^n) \mapsto f (m'^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m'^n)\).

While the difference between \(f (m^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m^n)\) and \(f (m'^1, ..., m'^l, ..., m'^n)\) is whether \((m'^1, ..., \widehat{m'^l}, ..., m'^n)\) are fixed, \(v_m^{l, j_l} \partial_{l, j_l} (f \circ {\phi_m}^{-1}) \vert_{\phi_m (m)}\) equals \(v_m^{l, j_l} \partial_{l, j_l} (f_{l, m} \circ \pi_l \circ {\phi_m}^{-1}) \vert_{\phi_m (m)}\), because \(\partial_{l, j_l}\) moves only \(m'^l\) anyway.

So, \((d \pi_l v_m) f_{l, m} = v_m^{l, j_l} \partial f / \partial x^{l, j_l}\).

So, \(v_m f = \sum_{j \in \{1, ..., n\}} (d \pi_j v_m) f_{j, m}\).
