Topic: Should "analytic in charts" be `MAnalytic` or `Holomorphic`?
Geoffrey Irving (Aug 21 2024 at 20:01):
Once https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4/pull/10853 lands we'll have AnalyticManifold
. The next step is to port over the analogue of Smooth
, namely the notion that a function between two analytic manifolds is locally or globally analytic in charts.
Currently in https://github.com/girving/ray I call this HolomorphicAt
and similar, mostly for the bad reason that MAnalyticAt
sounded weirded ("man-alytic").
Should I change the names to MAnalyticAt
before upstreaming, or is HolomorphicAt
better?
Yury G. Kudryashov (Aug 22 2024 at 02:52):
The issue with HolomorphicAt
is that I only saw this terminology applied to Complex
, not other base fields.

Would Manifold.AnalyticAt
work? Should we move docs#AnalyticAt into a namespace?
Sébastien Gouëzel (Aug 22 2024 at 06:37):
I'd go for MAnalyticAt
, to follow the same naming scheme as for smooth functions, even if I agree it's just a little bit awkward. For me, holomorphic is just in the complex setting, you would never say that a real function is holomorphic.

I have a lot of files that jump back and forth between the manifold and flat versions a lot, so namespaces would be awkward.
