Short word-processed commentary by Phil (dated 8.23.15, with a later 2.15.16 addition) summarizing Sjamaar Chapter 9. It covers manifolds with boundary and the extended regular value theorem, with examples such as the solid sphere, spherical shell and pair of pants. It also covers induced orientation on the boundary, integration of n-forms over orientable manifolds via non-overlapping cube maps, and Stokes' theorem with its special cases (fundamental theorem, Green, divergence, classical Stokes).

Sjamaar Chapter 9 Meta Notes PhL 8.23.15 Chapter is 9 pages total include Ex, this meta is 3 pages long. 9.1 Manifold with boundary 1 9.2 Integration over orientable manifolds 2 9.3 Gauss' and Stokes' classical theorems 2 9.1 Manifold with boundary Up to this point, a manifold was always described with embedding ψ(U) = V M where the domain U had to be an open set. Here that requirement is softened in a particular way. A special U' = U Hn allows your set U' to have a boundary along xn = 0 where n is the highest coordinate. If this creates a boundary in U', then the boundary M will also have a boundary. I suspect the idea really applies to any U which has any kind of reasonable boundary. The resulting M is called "a manifold with boundary" and the boundary is called ∂M of course. Then M-∂M ≡ int(M) is the interior. Example 9.2 is quite long in my raw notes. It is a particular ψ which results in M being a region in R2 which is bounded by a curve, as shown page 104. I think this is the first real example of a manifold which has the same dimensionality as the target space (the large space). Example 9.3 is an enhanced version of the previous example where you end up with a manifold which is a region of Rn which is bounded by a curved hypersurface. Theorem 9.4 extends the regular value theorem RVT φ(x) = c idea to a case where φm ≤ cm for I guess one of the φ components (instead of =). Obviously now φm = cm will produce ∂M instead of M, so Properties of ∂M dim(∂M) = N-m codimension(∂M) = N - [N-m] = m // original RVT Properties of M dim(M) = N-m+1 codimension(∂M) = N - [N-m+1] = m-1 2.15.16. In Ch 6 we had c = φ(x) being m equations with x in RN and this defined a surface of dimension N - m. In the above, we still have m equations but for the boundary, so it has dim = N-m. The inequality applies to M. Example 9.5 With φ(x) = ||x|| and φ = c we get a spherical surface as M (radius c). But then φ ≤ c causes that surface to be ∂M and then M is the solid sphere interior. Fact: This shows that a closed sphere of positive radius is a manifold with boundary, and the boundary in this case is the surface. For the sphere case if you had r1 ≤ φ(x) = ||x|| ≤ r2 where now both inequalities are on φ(x) and not on coordinates, then you get a thick spherical shell and it is a manifold, and ∂M is the union of the two spherical surfaces. No sharp corners, things are happy. Pair of pants is a manifold M, three closed curves comprise ∂M. No sharp corners. Mobius is a manifold, but not orientable because only has one side, a topic Sja did not really explore earlier or here. Tangent space for ∂M ? If you arrange to have [n, e1, e2.....en-1] be a TxM basis where n is normal to the assumed hypersurface, then [e1, e2.....en-1] is a basis for ∂M. If this IS the ∂M basis, then the M basis will be [n, e1, e2.....en-1] = (-1)n [e1, e2.....en] and so the "orientation" sign (+ or -) will depend on the integer n. You are inducing an orientation on ∂M from M is how he says it. 9.2 Integration over orientable manifolds I comment on cotangent space. In Lemma 9.6 Sja pauses to show that if two mappings c and c' have the same image M and have the same orientation preserving property as well, then integrals ∫[0,1]n c*α and ∫[0,1]n c'*α are the same. I think this would just be a reparametrization situation (with same orientation however). Now here is a major claim without proof: It is possible to represent any n-manifold M as the union of a finite set of mappings ci (each of an n-cube) such that these separate mappings have no overlap on M! Thus we write M = i=1k ci([0,1]n) where we assume k mappings are required Each of these ci mappings is orientation-preserving. Given this theorem, we can then say ∫M α = Σi=1k ∫[0,1]n ci*α = Σi=1k ∫ ΣI fI(ci(x)) det(Dci) dt1dt2......dtn // p 107 B Except for the right expression, this is page 107 B. This then is a prescription for doing an integration of any n-form α over any n-manifold M!! So we are combining Chapter 3 on pullbacks with Chapter 5 on Stokes and general pullbacks and "boundaries" ∂c and with Chap 6 on manifolds, and Chap 7 on differential forms on manifolds. Sja points out that the no-intersection requirement removes double counting in overlap regions when doing an integral. Here are a few sample integral types using the volume measure described above: (the Buck integrals!) volume of M = ∫M μM n=3 volume, n=2 surface area, n=1 arc length integral of f on M = ∫M μM f I comment a bit in the raw notes about the connection to Buck, but that topic is really not yet resolved fully. I will do it eventually. 9.3 Gauss' and Stokes' classical theorems One major result now is that Stokes' Theorem can be applied to an "orientable manifold with boundary": ∫M dα = ∫∂M α // page 108 A This section ends with a statement of special cases of this theorem: M = a 1-manifold: ∫M gdx = g(c(1))-g(c(0)) = g(b) - g(a) "other theorem" F = g ∫M F dx = g(c(1))-g(c(0)) = g(b) - g(a) "other theorem" F = f p 108 B This one is not mentioned in Chapter 9 ∫M (∂xg-∂yf) dxdy =∫∂M (fdx+gdy) ∂c = a curve "Green's theorem" M = an n-manifold: ∫M [div F] dx1dx2.....dxn = ∫∂M (F n) μ∂M divergence theorem (Gauss's theorem) p 108 D ∫M [curl (F n)] μM = ∫∂M Fdx Stokes's theorem p 109 A Notice in the second last line that we have μδM which is the volume form on the boundary. For an n→n mapping, you get = A = Jacobian, so then φ*dμ = Jacobian * dt1dt2.....dtn
