1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(M\): \(\in \{\text{ the } d \text{ -dimensional } C^\infty \text{ manifolds with boundary }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(\exists \{((B_{m_j, r'_j} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_j}), (B_{m_j, r_j} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_j} \vert_{B_{m_j, r_j}})) \vert j \in J, ((B_{m_j, r'_j} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_j}), (B_{m_j, r_j} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_j} \vert_{B_{m_j, r_j}})) \in \{\text{ the } r' \text{ - } r \text{ -open-balls charts pairs around } m_j\}\}, \exists \{((H_{m_l, r'_l} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_l}), (H_{m_l, r_l} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_l} \vert_{H_{m_l, r_l}})) \vert l \in L, ((H_{m_l, r'_l} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_l}), (H_{m_l, r_l} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_l} \vert_{H_{m_l, r_l}})) \in \{\text{ the } r' \text{ - } r \text{ -open-half-balls charts pairs around } m_l\}\} (\cup_{j \in J} B_{m_j, r_j} \cup \cup_{l \in L} H_{m_l, r_l} = M)) \text{ where } J, L \in \{\text{ the countable index sets }\}\)
//

\(r_j\) and \(r'_j\) can be taken to be any same \(r\) and \(r'\) or they can be taken to be arbitrarily different.

Also the set of the corresponding outer charts constitutes a countable cover of \(M\).


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: for each interior point, \(m \in M\), take an \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-balls charts pair around \(m\), \(((B_{m, r'} \subseteq M, \phi_m), (B_{m, r} \subseteq M, \phi_m \vert_{B_{m, r}}))\); Step 2: for each boundary point, \(m \in M\), take an \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-half-balls charts pair around \(m\), \(((H_{m, r'} \subseteq M, \phi_m), (H_{m, r} \subseteq M, \phi_m \vert_{H_{m, r}}))\); Step 3: see that \(\{B_{m, r}\} \cup \{H_{m, r}\}\) covers \(M\); Step 4: apply the proposition that on any 2nd-countable topological space, any open cover of any subset has a countable subcover to have a countable cover.

Step 1:

For each interior point, \(m \in M\), let us take any \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-balls charts pair around \(m\), \(((B_{m, r'} \subseteq M, \phi_m), (B_{m, r} \subseteq M, \phi_m \vert_{B_{m, r}}))\), which is possible, by the proposition that for any \(C^\infty\) manifold with boundary, each interior point has an \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-balls charts pair and each boundary point has an \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-half-balls charts pair for any positive \(r'\) and \(r\).

Step 2:

For each boundary point, \(m \in M\), let us take any \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-half-balls charts pair around \(m\), \(((H_{m, r'} \subseteq M, \phi_m), (H_{m, r} \subseteq M, \phi_m \vert_{H_{m, r}}))\), which is possible, by the proposition that for any \(C^\infty\) manifold with boundary, each interior point has an \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-balls charts pair and each boundary point has an \(r'\)-\(r\)-open-half-balls charts pair for any positive \(r'\) and \(r\).

Step 3:

\(\{B_{m, r}\} \cup \{H_{m, r}\}\) covers \(M\).

Step 4:

By the proposition that on any 2nd-countable topological space, any open cover of any subset has a countable subcover, there is a countable subcover, \(\{B_{m_j, r_j} \vert j \in J\} \cup \{H_{m_l, r_l} \vert l \in L\}\).

So, \(\{((B_{m_j, r'_j} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_j}), (B_{m_j, r_j} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_j} \vert_{B_{m_j, r_j}})) \vert j \in J\}\) and \(\{((H_{m_l, r'_l} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_l}), (H_{m_l, r_l} \subseteq M, \phi_{m_l} \vert_{H_{m_l, r_l}})) \vert l \in L\}\) satisfy the proposition.
