To clarify the definitions, a passive transformation corresponds only to a descriptive transformation. Whereas an active transformation corresponds to a transformation on the manifold $M$.
|
||||
|
||||
A passive transformation may also be given directly by $\phi_\beta \circ \phi_\alpha: x \mapsto y$ since $\psi = \mathrm{id}$ in this case. Note that the definitions could also have been given by the inverse as the transformations are all diffeomorphisms.

## Fiber bundles

(This subsection should probably be moved to a more general setting of manifolds.)

|

> $$
|

> V = \bigcup_{x \in \mathrm{M}} V_x.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Then by definition we have the projection map $\pi$ given by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\pi: V \to\mathrm{M}: (x,\mathbf{v}) \mapsto \pi(x, \mathbf{v}) \overset{\text{def}}{=} x,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
and its inverse
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\pi^{-1}:\mathrm{M} \to V: x \mapsto \pi(x) \overset{\text{def}}{=} V_x.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, a dual fiber $V_x^*$ may be defined for $x \in \mathrm{M}$, with its fiber bundle defined by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
V^* = \bigcup_{x \in \mathrm{M}} V_x^*.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 4*: a **tensor fiber** $\mathscr{B}_x$ at a point $x \in \mathrm{M}$ on a manifold is defined as

||||

||||

|

|
||||
> \mathscr{B} = \bigcup_{x \in \mathrm{M}} \mathscr{B}_x.
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
|
||||
Then for a point $x \in \mathrm{M}$ we have a tensor $\mathbf{T} \in \mathscr{B}_x$ such that
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\mathbf{T} = T^{ij}_k \mathbf{e}_i \otimes \mathbf{e}_j \otimes \mathbf{\hat e}^k,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
with $T^{ij}_k \in \mathbb{K}$ holors of $\mathbf{T}$. Furthermore, $\{\mathbf{e}_i\}_{i=1}^n$ a basis of $V_x$ and $\{\mathbf{\hat e}^i\}_{i=1}^n$ a basis of $V_x^*$.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, a tensor field assigns a tensor fiber (or tensor) to each point on a section of the manifold. These tensors may vary smoothly along the section of the manifold.

|

|
||||

We may think of the tangent space at a point $x \in \mathrm{M}$ as a space attached to $x$ on the differential manifold $M$.

Theorem 2 adds the notion of tangent vectors to the explanation of the tangent space. The tangent space at a point on the manifold thus represents the space of tangent vectors.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Proposition 1*: let $M$ be a differential manifold of $\dim\mathrm{M} = n \in \mathbb{N}$. The tangent space $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$ has dimension $n$ such that

|

> and is span by the vector basis $\{\partial_i\}_{i=1}^n$.

|
||||
|
||||
Proposition 1 states that the tangent space is of the same dimension as the manifold and its basis are partial derivative operators. In the context of the [covariant basis](), this definition of the basis leaves out the coordinate map, but is in fact equivalent to the covariant basis.
|
||||
|
||||
As a last step in the explanation, we may think of the 2 dimensional surface of a sphere, which may define a differential manifold $M$. The tangent space at a point $x \in \mathrm{M}$ on the surface of the sphere may then be compared to the tangent plane to the sphere attached at point $x \in \mathrm{M}$. The catch is that the 3 dimensional space necessary to understand this construction exists only in our imagination and not in the mathematical construct.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 7*: let $M$ be a differential manifold, the collection of tangent spaces $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$ for all $x \in \mathrm{M}$ define the **tangent bundle** as

> \mathrm{TM} = \bigcup_{x \in \mathrm{M}} \mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In particular, we may think of the tangent bundle $\mathrm{TM}$ as a subspace $\mathrm{TM} \subset V$ of the vector bundle $V$ for a differential manifold. With the special properties given in theorem 2 and proposition 1.
|
||||
|
||||
The connection of each tangent vector to its base point may be formalised with the projection map $\pi$ which in this case is given by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\pi: \mathrm{TM} \to\mathrm{M}: (x, \mathbf{v}) \mapsto \pi(x, \mathbf{v}) \overset{\text{def}}{=} x,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
and its inverse
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\pi^{-1}:\mathrm{M} \to \mathrm{TM}: x \mapsto \pi^{-1}(x) \overset{\text{def}}{=} \mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}.
|
||||
$$

||||
|
||||
> *Definition 8*: a vector field $\mathbf{v}$ on a differential manifold $M$ is a section

|

> \mathbf{v} \in \Gamma(\mathrm{TM}),
|
||||

|
||||
>
|
||||
> of the tangent bundle $\mathrm{TM}$.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cotangent bundles
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 9*: let $M$ be a differential manifold and $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$ the tangent space at $x \in \mathrm{M}$. We define the **cotangent space** $\mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ as the dual space of $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M} = (\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M})^*.
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Then every element $\bm{\omega}_x \in \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ is a linear map $\bm{\omega}_x: \mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M} \to \mathbb{K}$ denoted as the **cotangent vector**.
|
||||
|
||||
This definition is a logical consequence of the notion of the [dual vector space](). It then also follows that the dual cotangent space is isomorphic to the tangent space at a point $x \in \mathrm{M}$.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Theorem 3*: let $\mathrm{M}$ be a differential manifold of $\dim \mathrm{M} = n \in \mathbb{N}$, then we have that for every $x \in \mathrm{M}$ the basis $\{dx^i\}_{i=1}^n$ of $\mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ is uniquely determined by
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> dx^i(\partial_j) = \delta^i_j,
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> for each basis $\{\partial_j\}_{j=1}^n$ in $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$.
|
||||
|
||||
??? note "*Proof*:"
|
||||
|
||||
The proof follows directly from theorem 1 in [dual vector spaces]().
|
||||
|
||||
The choice of $dx^i$ can be explained by taking the differential $df = \partial_i f dx^i \in \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ with $f \in C^\infty(\mathrm{M})$. Then if we take
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\mathbf{k}_x(df, \mathbf{v}) = \mathbf{k}(\partial_i f dx^i, v^j \partial_j) = v^j \partial_i f \mathbf{k}(dx^i, \partial_j) = v^j \partial_i f \delta^i_j = v^i \partial_i f = \mathbf{v} f,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
with $\mathbf{k}_x: \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M} \to \mathbb{K}$ the Kronecker tensor at $x \in \mathrm{M}$. Which shows that defining the basis of the cotangent space as differentials corresponds with respect to the basis of the tangent space.
|
||||
|
||||
So, a cotangent vector $\bm{\omega}_x \in \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ may be decomposed into
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\bm{\omega}_x = \omega_i dx^i.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
## Push forward and pull back
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 10*: let $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{N}$ be two differential manifolds with $\dim \mathrm{N} \geq \dim \mathrm{M}$ and let $\psi: \mathrm{M} \to \mathrm{N}$ be the diffeomorphism between the manifolds. Then we define the **pull back** $\psi^*$ and **push forward** $\psi_*$ operators, such that for $\mathbf{v} \in \mathrm{T}_x \mathrm{M}$ and $\bm{\omega} \in \mathrm{T}_{\psi(x)}^* \mathrm{M}$ we have
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathbf{k}_x(\psi^* \bm{\omega}, \mathbf{v}) = \mathbf{k}_{\psi(x)}(\bm{\omega}, \psi_* \mathbf{v}),
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> for all $x \in \mathrm{M}$.
|
||||
|
||||
Which indicates the proper separation between the elements of both spaces.

This definition is a logical consequence of the notion of the [dual vector space](). It then also follows that the dual cotangent space is isomorphic to the tangent space at a point $x \in \mathrm{M}$.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Theorem 3*: let $\mathrm{M}$ be a differential manifold of $\dim \mathrm{M} = n \in \mathbb{N}$, then we have that for every $x \in \mathrm{M}$ the basis $\{dx^i\}_{i=1}^n$ of $\mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ is uniquely determined by

|

|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> for each basis $\{\partial_j\}_{j=1}^n$ in $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$.
|
||||
|
||||
??? note "*Proof*:"
|
||||
|
||||
The proof follows directly from theorem 1 in [dual vector spaces]().
|
||||
|
||||
The choice of $dx^i$ can be explained by taking the differential $df = \partial_i f dx^i \in \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ with $f \in C^\infty(\mathrm{M})$. Then if we take
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\mathbf{k}_x(df, \mathbf{v}) = \mathbf{k}(\partial_i f dx^i, v^j \partial_j) = v^j \partial_i f \mathbf{k}(dx^i, \partial_j) = v^j \partial_i f \delta^i_j = v^i \partial_i f = \mathbf{v} f,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
with $\mathbf{k}_x: \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M} \to \mathbb{K}$ the Kronecker tensor at $x \in \mathrm{M}$. Which shows that defining the basis of the cotangent space as differentials corresponds with respect to the basis of the tangent space.
|
||||
|
||||
So, a cotangent vector $\bm{\omega}_x \in \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ may be decomposed into
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\bm{\omega}_x = \omega_i dx^i.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
In the context of the [contravariant basis](), this definition of the basis leaves out the coordinate map, but is in fact equivalent to the contravariant basis.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cotangent bundle
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 5*: let $M$ be a differential manifold, the collection of cotangent spaces $\mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ for all $x \in \mathrm{M}$ define the **cotangent bundle** as
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathrm{T^*M} = \bigcup_{x \in \mathrm{M}} \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}.
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, we may think of the cotangent bundle $\mathrm{T^*M}$ as a subspace $\mathrm{T^*M} \subset V^*$ of the dual fiber bundle $V^*$ for a differential manifold.

# Transformations
|
||||
|
||||
Let $\mathrm{M}$ be a differential manifold with $\dim \mathrm{M} = n \in \mathbb{N}$ used throughout the section. Let $\mathrm{TM}$ and $\mathrm{T^*M}$ denote the tangent and cotangent bundle.
|
||||
|
||||
## Push forward and pull back
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 1*: let $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{N}$ be two differential manifolds with $\dim \mathrm{N} \geq \dim \mathrm{M}$ and let $\psi: \mathrm{M} \to \mathrm{N}$ be the diffeomorphism between the manifolds. Then we define the **pull back** $\psi^*$ and **push forward** $\psi_*$ operators, such that for $\mathbf{v} \in \mathrm{T}_x \mathrm{M}$ and $\bm{\omega} \in \mathrm{T}_{\psi(x)}^* \mathrm{M}$ we have
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathbf{k}_x(\psi^* \bm{\omega}, \mathbf{v}) = \mathbf{k}_{\psi(x)}(\bm{\omega}, \psi_* \mathbf{v}),
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> for all $x \in \mathrm{M}$.
|
||||
|
||||
Which indicates the proper separation between the elements of both spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basis transformation
|
||||
|
||||
Let $\psi: \mathscr{D}(\mathrm{M}) \to \mathrm{M}: x \mapsto \psi(x) \overset{\text{def}}{=} \overline{x}$ be an active coordinate transformation from a point $x$ to a point $\overline{x}$ on $\mathrm{M}$. Then we have a basis $\{\partial_i\}_{i=1}^n \subset \mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$ for the tangent space $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$ at $x$ and a basis $\{\overline{\partial_i}\}_{i=1}^n \subset \mathrm{T}_{\overline{x}}\mathrm{M}$ for the tangent space $\mathrm{T}_{\overline{x}}\mathrm{M}$ at $\overline{x}$. Which are related by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\partial_i = J^j_i \overline{\partial_j} = \partial_i \psi^j(x) \overline{\partial_j},
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
with $J^j_i = \partial_i \psi^j(x)$ the [Jacobian]() at $x \in \mathrm{M}$. For it to make sense, it helps to change notation to
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} = \frac{\partial \overline{x}^j}{\partial x_i} \frac{\partial}{\partial \overline{x}_j} = \frac{\partial \psi^j}{\partial x_i} \frac{\partial}{\partial \overline{x}_j}.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, we have a basis $\{dx^i\}_{i=1}^n \subset \mathrm{T}_x^*\mathrm{M}$ for the cotangent space $\mathrm{T}_x\mathrm{M}$ at $x$ and a basis $\{d\overline{x}^i\}_{i=1}^n \subset \mathrm{T}_{\overline{x}}^*\mathrm{M}$ for the cotangent space $\mathrm{T}_{\overline{x}}^*\mathrm{M}$ at $\overline{x}$. Which are related by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
d\overline{x}^i = J^i_j dx^j = \partial_j \psi^i(x) dx^j.
|
||||

# Fiber bundles
|
||||
|
||||
Let $X$ be a manifold over a field $F$.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 1*: a **fiber** $V_x$ at a point $x \in X$ on a manifold is a finite dimensional vector space. With the collection of fibers $V_x$ for all $x \in X$ define the **fiber bundle** as
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> V = \bigcup_{x \in X} V_x.
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
|
||||
Then by definition we have the projection map $\pi$ given by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\pi: V \to X: (x,\mathbf{v}) \mapsto \pi(x, \mathbf{v}) \overset{\text{def}}{=} x,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
and its inverse
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\pi^{-1}: X \to V: x \mapsto \pi(x) \overset{\text{def}}{=} V_x.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, a dual fiber $V_x^*$ may be defined for $x \in X$, with its fiber bundle defined by
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
V^* = \bigcup_{x \in X} V_x^*.
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 2*: a **tensor fiber** $\mathscr{B}_x$ at a point $x \in X$ on a manifold is defined as
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathscr{B}_x = \bigcup_{p,q \in \mathbb{N}} \mathscr{T}^p_q(V_x).
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> With the collection of tensor fibers $\mathscr{B}_x$ for all $x \in X$ define the **tensor fiber bundle** as
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathscr{B} = \bigcup_{x \in X} \mathscr{B}_x.
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
|
||||
Then for a point $x \in X$ we have a tensor $\mathbf{T} \in \mathscr{B}_x$ such that
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\mathbf{T} = T^{ij}_k \mathbf{e}_i \otimes \mathbf{e}_j \otimes \mathbf{\hat e}^k,
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
with $T^{ij}_k \in \mathbb{K}$ holors of $\mathbf{T}$. Furthermore, we have a basis $\{\mathbf{e}_i\}_{i=1}^n$ of $V_x$ and a basis $\{\mathbf{\hat e}^i\}_{i=1}^n$ of $V_x^*$.
|
||||
|
||||
> *Definition 3*: a tensor field $\mathbf{T}$ on a manifold $X$ is a [section]()
|
||||
>
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
> \mathbf{T} \in \Gamma(X, \mathscr{B}),
|
||||
> $$
|
||||
>
|
||||
> of the tensor fiber bundle $\mathscr{B}$.
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, a tensor field assigns a tensor fiber (or tensor) to each point on a section of the manifold. These tensors may vary smoothly along the section of the manifold.
