1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\((E, M, \pi)\): \(\in \{\text{ the } C^\infty \text{ vectors bundles of rank } k\}\)
\(U\): \(\in \{\text{ the open subsets of } M\}\)
\(\{s_1, ..., s_n\}\): \(s_j: U \to E \in \{\text{ the local } C^\infty \text{ sections of } \pi\}\) such that \(\forall u \in U (\{s_1 (u), ..., s_n (u)\} \in \{\text{ the linearly independent subsets of } \pi^{-1} (u)\})\)
//

Statements:
\(\forall u \in U (\exists U_u \subseteq M \in \{\text{ the open neighborhoods of } u\} \text{ such that } U_u \subseteq U, \exists \{s_{n + 1}, ..., s_k\} \text{ where } s_{n + j}: M \to E \in \{\text{ the } C^\infty \text{ sections of } \pi\} (\{s_1 \vert_{U_u}, ..., s_k \vert_{U_u}\} \in \{\text{ the local } C^\infty \text{ frames }\}))\)

2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take any basis for \(\pi^{-1} (u)\), \(\{s_1 (u), ..., s_n (u), v_{n + 1}, ..., v_k\}\); Step 2: for each \(j \in \{1, ..., k - n\}\), take a \(C^\infty\) section of \(\pi\), \(s_{n + j}: M \to E\), such that \(s_{n + j} (u) = v_{n + j}\); Step 3: see that there is an open neighborhood of \(u\), \(U_u \subseteq M\), such that \(U_u \subseteq U\) over which \(\{s_1, ..., s_n, s_{n + 1}, ..., s_k\}\) is linearly independent.

Step 1:

There is a basis for \(\pi^{-1} (u)\), \(\{s_1 (u), ..., s_n (u), v_{n + 1}, ..., v_k\}\).

Step 2:

Let \(j \in \{1, ..., k - n\}\) be any.

\(\{u\} \subseteq M\) is a closed subset of \(M\).

\(s_{n + j}: \{u\} \to E, u \mapsto v_{n + j}\) is a \(C^\infty\) section along \(\{u\}\): take a trivializing chart around \(u\) and the corresponding chart for \(E\), then, the components function of \(s_{n + j}\) has the obvious \(C^\infty\) extension over the trivializing chart, \(: x \mapsto (v_{n + j}^1, ..., v_{n + j}^k, x)\).

There is a \(C^\infty\) section of \(\pi\), \(s_{n + j}: M \to E\), such that \(s_{n + j} (u) = v_{n + j}\), by the proposition that for any \(C^\infty\) vectors bundle, any \(C^\infty\) section along any closed subset of the base space can be extended to over the whole base space with the support contained in any open neighborhood of the subset.

Step 3:

Now, we have a set of local \(C^\infty\) sections over \(U\), \(\{s_1, ..., s_n, s_{n + 1} \vert_U, ..., s_k \vert_U\}\), such that \(\{s_1 (u), ..., s_k (u)\}\) is linearly independent.

There is an open neighborhood of \(u\), \(U_u \subseteq M\), such that \(U_u \subseteq U\) over which \(\{s_1, ..., s_k\}\) is linearly independent, by the proposition that the set of any \(C^\infty\) sections of any \(C^\infty\) vectors bundle that (the set) is linearly independent at a point is linearly independent on an open neighborhood of the point: although the proposition ostensibly requires the sections to be over the entire \(M\), the proposition can be applied to this case with the local sections as is clear from that Proof.

So, \(\{s_1 \vert_{U_u}, ..., s_k \vert_{U_u}\}\) is a local \(C^\infty\) frame over \(U_u\).
