Basic smooth bundles #

In general, a smooth bundle is a bundle over a smooth manifold, whose fiber is a manifold, and for which the coordinate changes are smooth. In this definition, there are charts involved at several places: in the manifold structure of the base, in the manifold structure of the fibers, and in the local trivializations. This makes it a complicated object in general. There is however a specific situation where things are much simpler: when the fiber is a vector space (no need for charts for the fibers), and when the local trivializations of the bundle and the charts of the base coincide. Then everything is expressed in terms of the charts of the base, making for a much simpler overall structure, which is easier to manipulate formally.

Most vector bundles that naturally occur in differential geometry are of this form: the tangent bundle, the cotangent bundle, differential forms (used to define de Rham cohomology) and the bundle of Riemannian metrics. Therefore, it is worth defining a specific constructor for this kind of bundle, that we call basic smooth bundles.

A basic smooth bundle is thus a smooth bundle over a smooth manifold whose fiber is a vector space, and which is trivial in the coordinate charts of the base. (We recall that in our notion of manifold there is a distinguished atlas, which does not need to be maximal: we require the triviality above this specific atlas). It can be constructed from a basic smooth bundled core, defined below, specifying the changes in the fiber when one goes from one coordinate chart to another one.

Main definitions #

Let Z be a basic smooth bundle core over M with fiber F. We define Z.to_topological_vector_bundle_core, the (topological) vector bundle core associated to Z. From it, we get a space Z.to_topological_vector_bundle_core.total_space (which as a Type is just Ξ£ (x : M), F), with the fiber bundle topology. It inherits a manifold structure (where the charts are in bijection with the charts of the basis). We show that this manifold is smooth.

Then we use this machinery to construct the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold.

Implementation notes #

We register the vector space structure on the fibers of the tangent bundle, but we do not register the normed space structure coming from that of F (as it is not canonical, and we also want to keep the possibility to add a Riemannian structure on the manifold later on without having two competing normed space instances on the tangent spaces).

We require F to be a normed space, and not just a topological vector space, as we want to talk about smooth functions on F. The notion of derivative requires a norm to be defined.

TODO #

construct the cotangent bundle, and the bundles of differential forms. They should follow functorially from the description of the tangent bundle as a basic smooth bundle.

Core structure used to create a smooth bundle above M (a manifold over the model with corner I) with fiber the normed vector space F over π•œ, which is trivial in the chart domains of M. This structure registers the changes in the fibers when one changes coordinate charts in the base. We require the change of coordinates of the fibers to be linear, so that the resulting bundle is a vector bundle.
