The circle #

This file defines circle to be the metric sphere (metric.sphere) in ℂ centred at 0 of radius 1. We equip it with the following structure:

We furthermore define exp_map_circle to be the natural map λ t, exp (t * I) from ℝ to circle, and show that this map is a group homomorphism and is smooth.

Implementation notes #

To borrow the smooth manifold structure cleanly, the circle needs to be defined using metric.sphere, and therefore the underlying set is {z : ℂ | abs (z - 0) = 1}. This prevents certain algebraic facts from working definitionally -- for example, the circle is not defeq to {z : ℂ | abs z = 1}, which is the kernel of complex.abs considered as a homomorphism from ℂ to ℝ, nor is it defeq to {z : ℂ | norm_sq z = 1}, which is the kernel of the homomorphism complex.norm_sq from ℂ to ℝ.
