CHAPTER 1
Basic dierential geometry
1. Dierentiable manifolds
1.1. Dierentiable manifolds and dierentiable maps. Let M be a topo-
logical space. A chart on M is a triple c = ( U,',p ) consisting of an open subset
U M , an integer p 2
and a homeomorphism ' of U onto an open set in
p . The open set U is called the domain of the chart c , and the integer p is the
dimension of the chart c .
The charts c = ( U,',p ) and c 0 = ( U 0 ,' 0 ,p 0 ) on M are compatible if either
U \ U 0 =;or U \ U 0 6=;and ' 0 ' 1 ‘ : ' ( U \ U 0 )−! ' 0 ( U \ U 0 ) is a C 1 -
dieomorphism.
A familyAof charts on M is an atlas of M if the domains of charts form a
covering of M and all any two charts inAare compatible.
AtlasesAandBof M are compatible if their union is an atlas on M . This is
obviously an equivalence relation on the set of all atlases on M . Each equivalence
class of atlases contains the largest element which is equal to the union of all atlases
in this class. Such atlas is called saturated.
A dierentiable manifold M is a hausdor topological space with a saturated
atlas.
Clearly, a dierentiable manifold is a locally compact space. It is also locally
connected. Therefore, its connected components are open and closed subsets.
Let M be a dierentiable manifold. A chart c = ( U,',p ) is a chart around
m 2 M if m 2 U . We say that it is centered at m if ' ( m ) = 0.
If c = ( U,',p ) and c 0 = ( U 0 ,' 0 ,p 0 ) are two charts around m , then p = p 0 . There-
fore, all charts around m have the same dimension. Therefore, we call p the dimen-
sion of M at the point m and denote it by dim m M . The function m 7−!dim m M
is locally constant on M . Therefore, it is constant on connected components of M .
If dim m M = p for all m 2 M , we say that M is an p -dimensional manifold.
Let M and N be two dierentiable manifolds. A continuous map F : M −! N
is a dierentiable map if for any two pairs of charts c = ( U,',p ) on M and d =
( V, ,q ) on N such that F ( U ) V , the mapping
F ' 1
: ' ( U )−! ' ( V )
is a C 1 -dierentiable map. We denote by Mor( M,N ) the set of all dierentiable
maps from M into N .
If N is the real line with obvious manifold structure, we call a dierentiable
map f : M −! a dierentiable function on M . The set of all dierentiable func-
tions on M forms an algebra C 1 ( M ) over with respect to pointwise operations.
Clearly, dierentiable manifolds as objects and dierentiable maps as mor-
phisms form a category. Isomorphisms in this category are called dieomorphisms.
