Charted spaces #
A smooth manifold is a topological space M locally modelled on a Euclidean space (or a Euclidean
half-space for manifolds with boundaries, or an infinite-dimensional vector space for more general
notions of manifolds), i.e., the manifold is covered by open subsets on which there are local
homeomorphisms (the charts) going to a model space H, and the changes of charts should be smooth
maps.
In this file, we introduce a general framework describing these notions, where the model space is an arbitrary topological space. We avoid the word manifold, which should be reserved for the situation where the model space is a (subset of a) vector space, and use the terminology charted space instead.
If the changes of charts satisfy some additional property (for instance if they are smooth), then
M inherits additional structure (it makes sense to talk about smooth manifolds). There are
therefore two different ingredients in a charted space:
- the set of charts, which is data
- the fact that changes of charts belong to some group (in fact groupoid), which is additional Prop.
We separate these two parts in the definition: the charted space structure is just the set of charts, and then the different smoothness requirements (smooth manifold, orientable manifold, contact manifold, and so on) are additional properties of these charts. These properties are formalized through the notion of structure groupoid, i.e., a set of open partial homeomorphisms stable under composition and inverse, to which the change of coordinates should belong.
Main definitions #
StructureGroupoid H: a subset of open partial homeomorphisms ofHstable under composition, inverse and restriction (ex: partial diffeomorphisms).continuousGroupoid H: the groupoid of all open partial homeomorphisms ofH.ChartedSpace H M: charted space structure onMmodelled onH, given by an atlas of open partial homeomorphisms fromMtoHwhose sources coverM. This is a type class.HasGroupoid M G: whenGis a structure groupoid onHandMis a charted space modelled onH, require that all coordinate changes belong toG. This is a type class.atlas H M: whenMis a charted space modelled onH, the atlas of this charted space structure, i.e., the set of charts.G.maximalAtlas M: whenMis a charted space modelled onHand admittingGas a structure groupoid, one can consider all the open partial homeomorphisms fromMtoHsuch that changing coordinate from any chart to them belongs toG. This is a larger atlas, called the maximal atlas (for the groupoidG).Structomorph G M M': the type of diffeomorphisms between the charted spacesMandM'for the groupoidG. We avoid the word diffeomorphism, keeping it for the smooth category.
As a basic example, we give the instance
instance chartedSpaceSelf (H : Type*) [TopologicalSpace H] : ChartedSpace H H
saying that a topological space is a charted space over itself, with the identity as unique chart.
This charted space structure is compatible with any groupoid.
Additional useful definitions:
Pregroupoid H: a subset of partial maps ofHstable under composition and restriction, but not inverse (ex: smooth maps)Pregroupoid.groupoid: construct a groupoid from a pregroupoid, by requiring that a map and its inverse both belong to the pregroupoid (ex: construct diffeos from smooth maps)chartAt H xis a preferred chart atx : MwhenMhas a charted space structure modelled onH.G.compatible he he'states that, for any two chartseande'in the atlas, the composition ofe.symmande'belongs to the groupoidGwhenMadmitsGas a structure groupoid.G.compatible_of_mem_maximalAtlas he he'states that, for any two chartseande'in the maximal atlas associated to the groupoidG, the composition ofe.symmande'belongs to theGifMadmitsGas a structure groupoid.ChartedSpaceCore.toChartedSpace: consider a space without a topology, but endowed with a set of charts (which are partial equivs) for which the changes of coordinates are partial homeos. Then one can construct a topology on the space for which the charts become partial homeos, defining a genuine charted space structure.
Implementation notes #
The atlas in a charted space is not a maximal atlas in general: the notion of maximality depends
on the groupoid one considers, and changing groupoids changes the maximal atlas. With the current
formalization, it makes sense first to choose the atlas, and then to ask whether this precise atlas
defines a smooth manifold, an orientable manifold, and so on. A consequence is that structomorphisms
between M and M' do not induce a bijection between the atlases of M and M': the
definition is only that, read in charts, the structomorphism locally belongs to the groupoid under
consideration. (This is equivalent to inducing a bijection between elements of the maximal atlas).
A consequence is that the invariance under structomorphisms of properties defined in terms of the
atlas is not obvious in general, and could require some work in theory (amounting to the fact
that these properties only depend on the maximal atlas, for instance). In practice, this does not
create any real difficulty.
We use the letter H for the model space thinking of the case of manifolds with boundary, where the
model space is a half-space.
Manifolds are sometimes defined as topological spaces with an atlas of local diffeomorphisms, and
sometimes as spaces with an atlas from which a topology is deduced. We use the former approach:
otherwise, there would be an instance from manifolds to topological spaces, which means that any
instance search for topological spaces would try to find manifold structures involving a yet
unknown model space, leading to problems. However, we also introduce the latter approach,
through a structure ChartedSpaceCore making it possible to construct a topology out of a set of
partial equivs with compatibility conditions (but we do not register it as an instance).
In the definition of a charted space, the model space is written as an explicit parameter as there
can be several model spaces for a given topological space. For instance, a complex manifold
(modelled over ℂ^n) will also be seen sometimes as a real manifold modelled over ℝ^(2n).
Notation #
In the scope Manifold, we denote the composition of open partial homeomorphisms with ≫ₕ, and the
composition of partial equivs with ≫.
Charted spaces #
A charted space is a topological space endowed with an atlas, i.e., a set of local
homeomorphisms taking values in a model space H, called charts, such that the domains of the
charts cover the whole space. We express the covering property by choosing for each x a member
chartAt x of the atlas containing x in its source: in the smooth case, this is convenient to
construct the tangent bundle in an efficient way.
The model space is written as an explicit parameter as there can be several model spaces for a
given topological space. For instance, a complex manifold (modelled over ℂ^n) will also be seen
sometimes as a real manifold over ℝ^(2n).

If a topological space admits an atlas with locally compact charts, then the space itself is locally compact.
If a topological space admits an atlas with locally connected charts, then the space itself is locally connected.
If a topological space M admits an atlas with locally path-connected charts,
then M itself is locally path-connected.
If M is modelled on H' and H' is itself modelled on H, then we can consider M as being
modelled on H.

the atlas members are just the identity.

A chart on the discrete space is the constant chart.
For technical reasons we introduce two type tags:
ModelProd H H'is the same asH × H';ModelPi His the same as∀ i, H i, whereH : ι → Type*andιis a finite type.
In both cases the reason is the same, so we explain it only in the case of the product. A charted
space M with model H is a set of charts from M to H covering the space. Every space is
registered as a charted space over itself, using the only chart id, in chartedSpaceSelf. You
can also define a product of charted space M and M' (with model space H × H') by taking the
products of the charts. Now, on H × H', there are two charted space structures with model space
H × H' itself, the one coming from chartedSpaceSelf, and the one coming from the product of
the two chartedSpaceSelf on each component. They are equal, but not defeq (because the product
of id and id is not defeq to id), which is bad as we know. This expedient of renaming H × H'
solves this problem.

Constructing a topology from an atlas #
Sometimes, one may want to construct a charted space structure on a space which does not yet
have a topological structure, where the topology would come from the charts. For this, one needs
charts that are only partial equivalences, and continuity properties for their composition.
This is formalised in ChartedSpaceCore.
