Theorem 4.6. Fix a point \( p \in X \) . For all vector fields \( \xi ,\eta ,\zeta \in {\mathfrak{m}}_{p} \), we have\n\n\[ R\left( {\xi ,\eta }\right) \zeta \left( p\right) = {D}_{\zeta }\left\lbrack {\xi ,\eta }\right\rbrack \left( p\right) = \left\lbrack {\zeta ,\left\lbrack {\xi ,\eta }\right\rbrack }\right\rbrack ...
Proof. By Kill 3, using \( {D}_{\eta }\zeta \left( p\right) = 0 \) and \( {D}_{\zeta }\xi \left( p\right) = 0 \), we get\n\n\[ {D}_{\eta }{D}_{\zeta }\xi \left( p\right) + R\left( {\xi ,\eta }\right) \zeta \left( p\right) = 0, \]\n\n\[ {D}_{\zeta }{D}_{\xi }\eta \left( p\right) + R\left( {\eta ,\zeta }\right) \xi \left...

Lemma 5.1. Let \( x, y \in X \) . Assume that \( {\exp }_{x} : {T}_{x} \rightarrow X \) is surjective. Given a linear isomorphism \( L : {T}_{x} \rightarrow {T}_{y} \), there is at most one \( D \) - automorphism \( f : X \rightarrow X \) such that \( f\left( x\right) = y \) and \( {T}_{x}f = L \) .
Proof. A D-automorphism \( f \) maps geodesics to geodesics, and a geodesic is uniquely determined by its initial conditions, namely the value at 0 and the derivative at 0 . Thus the condition that \( {\exp }_{x} \) is surjective is just what is needed to determine \( f \) globally on \( X \) from its initial condition...
Yes
Proposition 5.2. Suppose \( X \) has a symmetry at every point \( x \in X \) . Then\n\n\( X \) is geodesically complete, that is \( {\exp }_{x} \) is defined on \( {T}_{x} \) for all \( x \) .
Proof. Let \( \alpha : \left\lbrack {0, c}\right\rbrack \rightarrow X \) be a geodesic, defined on a finite interval. Let \( x = \alpha \left( c\right) \) . Then \( {T}_{x}{\sigma }_{x} \) maps \( - {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( c\right) \) to \( {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( c\right) \) . But \( {\sigma }_{x} \) being a \( D ...

Proposition 5.3. Let \( x, y \in X \) . Let \( \alpha \) be a non-constant geodesic such that \( \alpha \left( c\right) = x \) and \( \alpha \left( b\right) = y \) . Then\n\n\[ \n{T}_{y}{\sigma }_{x} = - {P}_{b,\alpha }^{{2c} - b}\;\text{ on }\;{T}_{y}X.\n\]
Proof. Let \( v \in {T}_{\alpha \left( c\right) }X \) be a tangent vector as above. By the remarks at the beginning of this section, \( \left( {T{\sigma }_{\alpha \left( c\right) }}\right) \left( {\gamma \left( {t, v}\right) }\right) \) is parallel translation of \( \left( {T\sigma }\right) \left( v\right) \) along \( ...
Yes
Proposition 5.4. Let \( {P}_{t,\alpha }^{t + s} : {T}_{\alpha \left( t\right) } \rightarrow {T}_{\alpha \left( {t + s}\right) } \) be parallel translation. Then\n\n\[ \n{T}_{\alpha \left( t\right) }{\tau }_{\alpha, s} = {P}_{t,\alpha }^{t + s} \n\]\n\nIn particular, for \( v \in {T}_{\alpha \left( 0\right) } \), we hav...
Proof. This is immediate from Proposition 5.3, using the chain rule for the tangent map of a composite mapping, and PAR 1.

Proposition 5.5. Let \( \alpha \) be a non-constant geodesic.\n\n(i) Then \( \left\{ {\tau }_{\alpha, s}\right\} \) is the flow of a Killing field, i.e. it is a one-parameter group of D-automorphisms. In other words, if for \( x \in X \) we define\n\n\[ \n{\xi }_{\alpha }\left( x\right) = {\partial }_{1}{\tau }_{\alpha...
Proof. We first show that \( {\tau }_{\alpha, s + t} = {\tau }_{\alpha, s} \circ {\tau }_{\alpha, t} \) for all \( s, t \in \mathbf{R} \) . Both sides are \( D \) -automorphisms. By Lemma 5.1 it suffices to show that they coincide at one point and that their tangent maps coincide at this point. We can select the point ...
Yes
Proposition 5.6. Let \( \alpha ,\beta \) be non-constant geodesics with\n\n\[ \alpha \left( 0\right) = \beta \left( 0\right) = p. \]\n\nLet \( {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( 0\right) = w \) . Let \( {\tau }_{\alpha } \) be translation along \( \alpha \) as above, and let\n\n\[ \eta \left( t\right) = {\partial }_{1}{\tau }_{...
Proof. That \( \eta \left( 0\right) = {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( 0\right) = w \) comes from Proposition 5.5(ii), so we next have to show that \( {D}_{{\beta }^{\prime }}\eta \left( 0\right) = 0 \) . Let \( v = {\beta }^{\prime }\left( 0\right) \) . By Proposition 5.4, we know that \( {T}_{p}{\tau }_{\alpha, s} = {P}_{0,...

Corollary 5.7. Let \( \alpha \) be a non-constant geodesic, and put \( \alpha \left( 0\right) = p \) . Then\n\n\( {\xi }_{\alpha } \in {\mathfrak{m}}_{p} \) .
Proof. Special case of Proposition 5.6, because given \( v \in {T}_{p}X \) we can find a geodesic \( \beta \) such that \( \beta \left( 0\right) = p \) and \( {\beta }^{\prime }\left( 0\right) = v \) .
Yes
Theorem 5.8. The Killing sequence is exact, and is split by the map \( v \mapsto {\xi }_{v} \) . The map \( \xi \mapsto \xi \left( p\right) \) thus induces an isomorphism\n\n\[ \n{\mathfrak{m}}_{p}\overset{ \approx }{ \rightarrow }{T}_{p}X \n\]\n\nof \( {\mathfrak{m}}_{p} \) with the tangent space at \( p \) . We have ...
Proof. That \( {\mathfrak{h}}_{p} \) is the kernel of \( \xi \mapsto \xi \left( p\right) \) comes from the definition of \( {\mathfrak{h}}_{p} \) . The map is surjective, because at the given point \( p \) we can find a geodesic \( \alpha \) such that \( \alpha \left( 0\right) = p \) and \( {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( 0\...

Proposition 6.1. Let \( \Omega : X \rightarrow {L}^{3}\left( {{TX},{TX}}\right) \) be a trilinear tensor field on a D-manifold \( X \) . Then \( {D}_{\xi }\Omega = 0 \) for all \( \xi \) if and only if parallel translation commutes with \( \Omega \), that is for every geodesic \( \alpha \), \[ {P}_{a,\alpha }^{b} \circ...
Proof. If \( {D}_{\xi }\Omega = 0 \) for all vector fields \( \xi \), then the commutation comes directly from the definition of \( {D}_{\xi }\Omega = 0 \), and, say, the local expression as in Chapter VIII,3.5,3.6, and 3.7. Conversely, for a trilinear tensor field \( \Omega \) and a geodesic \( \alpha \), we have \[ \...

Let \( \\eta \) be the Jacobi lift of \( \\alpha \) with initial conditions\n\n\[\\eta \\left( 0\\right) = {v}_{0}\\;\\text{ and }\...
Proof. Let \( {\\eta }_{1}\\left( t\\right) = {P}_{0,\\alpha }^{t}A\\left( t\\right) \) . Trivially, \( {\\eta }_{1}\\left( 0\\right) = {v}_{0} \) .

Proof. Let \( {\nabla }_{\eta }{\zeta }_{X} = {\operatorname{pr}}_{TY}{D}_{\eta }^{X}{\zeta }_{X} \) . Let \( {\eta }_{X} \) be an extension of \( \eta \) to a vector field on an open set in \( X \) . Then for \( x \in Y \) in this open set we have \[ {\left\lbrack {\eta }_{X},{\zeta }_{X}\right\rbrack }_{X}\left( x\ri...

Proof. By definition of the covariant derivative,\n\n\[{D}_{\eta }^{X}{\zeta }_{X} - {D}_{\zeta }^{X}{\eta }_{X} = \left\lbrack {{\eta }_{X},{\zeta }_{X}}\right\rbrack = \left\lbrack {\eta ,\zeta }\right\rbrack \;\text{ at }x.\]\n\nBut \( \eta ,\zeta \) being sections of \( {TY} \), so is \( \left\lbrack {\eta ,\zeta }...

Corollary 1.4. The submanifold \( Y \) is totally geodesic if and only if its second fundamental form is 0 at every point.
Proof. The condition that a curve \( \alpha \) is a geodesic is that \( {D}_{{\alpha }^{\prime }}{\alpha }^{\prime } = 0 \) . Suppose \( Y \) is totally geodesic. Let \( \alpha \) be a geodesic in \( Y \) with \( \alpha \left( 0\right) = x \) and \( {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( 0\right) = v \in {T}_{x}Y \) . Then by assum...

Theorem 1.5. Let \( \eta ,\xi \) be vector fields on \( Y \) and let \( \mu \) be a normal field on \( Y \) . Then on \( Y \), \[ \left\langle {{D}_{\eta }^{X}{\mu }_{X},\xi }\right\rangle = \left\langle {{h}_{21}\left( {\eta ,\mu }\right) ,\xi }\right\rangle = \left\langle {\mu , - {h}_{12}\left( {\eta ,\xi }\right) }...
Proof. We take \( {D}_{\eta }^{X} \) (Lie derivative) of \( \left\langle {{\xi }_{X},{\mu }_{X}}\right\rangle \), evaluated at a point of \( Y \) . The scalar product is taken in \( {TX} \), of course. To find the derivative at a point \( x \in Y \), one may differentiate along any curve passing through that point, suc...

Proposition 1.6. Let \( {\mu }_{X} \) be an extension of a normal field to \( X \). Then \( {\operatorname{pr}}_{NY}{D}_{\eta }^{X}{\mu }_{X} \) is independent of this extension, so we may denote\n\n\[ \n{\nabla }_{\eta }\mu = {\operatorname{pr}}_{NY}{D}_{\eta }^{X}{\mu }_{X} \n\]\n\nFurthermore, \( \nabla \) is a metr...
Proof. We prove the metric formula first. By definition of the covariant derivative on \( X \), we know that on \( Y \), for any normal field \( v \), \n\n\[ \n\eta \cdot \left\langle {{\mu }_{X},{v}_{X}}\right\rangle = \left\langle {{D}_{\eta }^{X}{\mu }_{X},{v}_{X}}\right\rangle + \left\langle {{\mu }_{X},{D}_{\eta }...

Proof. We have\n\n\[ \n{D}_{X}^{2}{f}_{X}\left( {{\xi }_{X},{\xi }_{X}}\right) = \xi \cdot \eta \cdot f - \left( {{D}_{\xi }^{X}{\eta }_{X}}\right) \cdot {f}_{X} \n\]\n\nBy Theorem 1.1, at points of \( Y \) we have\n\n\[ \n{D}_{\xi }^{X}{\eta }_{X} = \left( {{D}_{\xi }^{Y}\eta }\right) + {h}_{12}\left( {\xi ,\eta }\rig...

Proposition 2.2. Let \( {f}_{X} \) be the normal extension of \( f \) to a tubular neighborhood of \( Y \) . Then for vector fields \( \xi ,\eta \) on \( Y \), we have\n\n\[ \n{D}_{X}^{2}{f}_{X}\left( {\xi ,\eta }\right) = {D}_{Y}^{2}f\left( {\xi ,\eta }\right) \n\]
Proof. This is immediate, because if \( v \) is a normal vector field on \( Y \) , then \( \left( {v \cdot {f}_{X}}\right) \left( x\right) = 0 \) for \( x \in Y \), immediately from the definitions. Indeed, the Lie derivative may be taken along a geodesic from \( x \), along which \( f \) is constant, so its Lie deriva...

Lemma 2.9. The above map \( \varphi \) is a local isomorphism at \( \left( {{x}_{0},0}\right) \) . Its differential at this point is in fact the identity.

Lemma 2.10. Under a regular action by \( H \), the map \[ \varphi : {V}_{0} \times {W}_{0} \rightarrow X\;\text{given by}\;\left( {h, x}\right) \mapsto {hx} \] is a local isomorphism at the origin \( \left( {e,{x}_{0}}\right) \).

Proposition 6.4. Let \( \pi : X \rightarrow Z \) be a Riemannian submersion. Suppose \( X, Z \) oriented, so \( {Y}_{z} \) is oriented for each \( z \) . Let \( {\Omega }_{X},{\Omega }_{Z} \) be the Riemannian volume forms on \( X, Z \) respectively. Then for each \( z \in Z \), the Riemannian volume form \( {\Omega }_...
The relation of Proposition 6.4 is punctual. However, the individual volume forms on the fibers locally are the restriction of a form on an open set of \( X \) itself. Indeed, if \( \left\{ {{\xi }_{1},\ldots ,{\xi }_{p}}\right\} \) is an orthonormal frame of vertical vector fields on \( X \), suitably oriented, then\n...

Proposition 6.5. Let \( \pi : X \rightarrow Z \) be a Riemannian submersion. Let \( {\Omega }_{X} \) and \( {\Omega }_{Z} \) be Riemannian volume forms on \( X, Z \) respectively. Let \( v \) be a vector field on \( Z \), and \( {v}_{X} \) its horizontal lift to \( X \) . Abbreviate \( {\operatorname{div}}_{X} \) for \...

The first formula comes from definition DIV 2 of the divergence, and the fact that the Lie derivative is a derivation for the wedge product, by Chapter V, Proposition 5.3, LIE 2, namely\n\n\[ {\mathcal{L}}_{{v}_{X}}\left( {\Omega }_{X}\right) = {\mathcal{L}}_{{v}_{X}}{\Omega }_{Y} \land {\Omega }_{Z} + {\Omega }...

Proposition 7.1. The exponential commutes with conjugation, namely for \( v \in {T}_{e}G \), we have\n\n\[ \exp {\mathbf{c}}_{\text{Lie }}\left( x\right) v = {\mathbf{c}}_{x}\left( {\exp v}\right) = x\exp \left( v\right) {x}^{-1}. \]\n
Proof. This is actually a special case of the general fact that if \( f : G \rightarrow {G}^{\prime } \) is a Lie group homomorphism, and \( v \in {T}_{e}G \), then\n\n\[ f\left( {\exp v}\right) = \exp \left( {{Tf}\left( e\right) v}\right) . \]\n\nWe apply this formula to \( f = {\mathbf{c}}_{x} \).

Proposition 7.2. We have \( \chi \left( a\right) = \det {\mathbf{c}}_{\text{Lie }}\left( a\right) \) for \( a \in G \) .

Then for \( V \neq 0 \) ,\n\n\[ \n\Omega \left( V\right) = {\left( {\mathbf{c}}_{a}\Omega \right) }_{e}\left( {{\mathbf{c}}_{a}V}\right) = {\left( {R}_{{a}^{-1}}...

Proposition 7.3. Let \( \Omega \) be a left invariant volume form on \( G \) . Then \( {\chi \Omega } \) is right invariant, i.e. is a right Haar form.
Proof. We have\n\n\[ \n{R}_{a}\left( {\chi \Omega }\right) = {R}_{a}\left( \chi \right) {R}_{a}\left( \Omega \right) = \chi \left( {a}^{-1}\right) {\chi \chi }\left( a\right) \Omega = {\chi \Omega }, \n\] \n\nthus proving the proposition.

Proposition 7.4. For \( h \in H \), we have\n\n\[ \text{det}T{\mathbf{c}}_{h}\left( {e}_{G}\right) = \det T{\mathbf{c}}_{h}\left( {e}_{G/H}\right) \cdot \det T{\mathbf{c}}_{h}\left( {e}_{H}\right) \text{.} \]
Proof. Let \( {T}_{y} = {T}_{y}Y,{T}_{x} = {T}_{y}X \) and \( {T}_{z} = {T}_{\pi \left( y\right) }Z \), so we have the exact\n\nsequence\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow {T}_{y} \rightarrow {T}_{x} \rightarrow {T}_{z} \rightarrow 0. \]\n\nThe map \( f \) induces tangent linear maps on each of those spaces, and we denote these by \(...

Proposition 7.5. Let \( X \) be a homogeneous space for \( G \) . If \( X \) is strictly unimodular, then there exists a left G-invariant volume form on \( X \), unique up to a constant multiple.
Proof. We want to define the invariant form on \( G/H \) by translating a given volume form \( {\omega }_{e} \) on \( {T}_{e}\left( {G/H}\right) \) . On \( G/H \), the left translation \( {L}_{h} \) is induced by conjugation \( {\mathbf{c}}_{h} \) on \( G \) . By Proposition 7.4 and the hypothesis, we have\n\n\[ \text{...

Proposition 8.1. Suppose there is a section \( \sigma : Z \rightarrow X \) of a homogeneously fibered submersion. Define\n\n\[ \gamma : H \times Z \rightarrow X\;\text{ by }\;\gamma \left( {h, z}\right) = {h\sigma }\left( z\right) . \]\n\nThen \( \gamma \) is a submersion.
Proof. The tangent map \( {T\gamma }\left( {h, z}\right) \) is a surjective homomorphism of tangent spaces at each point. In fact, if we let \( {\gamma }_{h}\left( {\sigma \left( z\right) }\right) = h\left( {\sigma z}\right) = \gamma \left( {h, z}\right) \) , then \( T{\gamma }_{h}\left( {\sigma \left( z\right) }\right...

Theorem 8.2 (Wu). Let \( \pi : X \rightarrow Z \) be a metrically homogeneously fibered submersion. For any two points \( x, y \in X \), the isotropy groups \( {H}_{x} \) , \( {H}_{y} \) are conjugate in \( H \) . In fact, let \( x, y \) be points of \( X \) which can be joined by the horizontal lift of a curve in \( Z...
Proof. We recall that the horizontal lift was defined in Chapter XIV, §3. Suppose first that \( x, y \) can be joined by a horizontal lift \( A \) . Let \( h \in {H}_{x} \) . Since \( H \) acts isometrically on \( X, h \circ A \) is the unique horizontal lift from \( {hx} = x \) to \( {hy} \) . But \( h \circ A \) has ...

Proof. Let \( \alpha \) be an integral curve of \( v \) in \( Z \) and let \( A \) be its horizontal lift, so \( {v}_{X} \) restricts to \( {A}^{\prime } \) on the curve. By Theorem 8.2, the flow \( {F}_{t} \) gives a homogeneous space isomorphism \( {Y}_{\alpha \left( 0\right) } \rightarrow {Y}_{\alpha \left( t\right)...

We cannot define \[ {\pi }_{ * } : \mathrm{{DO}}\left( X\right) \rightarrow \mathrm{{DO}}\left( Z\right) \] in general, but we can define \( {\pi }_{ * } \) in a natural way on a subset of \( \operatorname{DO}\left( X\right) \).
Indeed, an element of the group \( H \) acting on \( X \) also acts on any object functorially associated with \( X \), especially on \( \operatorname{DO}\left( X\right) \). By definition, given \( h \in H \), let \( \left\lbrack h\right\rbrack D \) for \( D \in \mathrm{{DO}}\left( X\right) \) be defined by \[ \left( {...

Lemma 1.2. Let \( U \) be open in \( {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \) and let \( f : U \rightarrow {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \) be a \( {C}^{1} \) map. Let\n\n\( Z \) be a set of measure 0 in \( U \) . Then \( f\left( Z\right) \) has measure 0 .
Proof. For each \( x \in U \) there exists a rectangle \( {R}_{x} \) contained in \( U \) such that the family \( \left\{ {R}_{x}^{0}\right\} \) of interiors covers \( Z \) . Since \( U \) is separable, there exists a denumerable subfamily covering \( Z \), say \( \left\{ {R}_{j}\right\} \) . It suffices to prove that ...

Lemma 1.3. Let \( A \) be a subset of \( {\mathbf{R}}^{m} \) . Assume that \( m < n \) . Let\n\n\[ f : A \rightarrow {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \]\n\nsatisfy a Lipschitz condition. Then \( f\left( A\right) \) has measure 0 .
Proof. We view \( {\mathbf{R}}^{m} \) as embedded in \( {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \) on the space of the first \( m \) coordinates. Then \( {\mathbf{R}}^{m} \) has measure 0 in \( {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \), so that \( A \) has also \( n \) - dimensional measure 0 . Lemma 1.3 is therefore a consequence of Lemma 1.1.

Corollary 2.2. Let \( S \) be the unit cube spanned by the unit vectors in \( {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \). Let \( \lambda : {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \rightarrow {\mathbf{R}}^{n} \) be a linear map. Then \[ \operatorname{Vol}\lambda \left( S\right) = \left| {\operatorname{Det}\left( \lambda \right) }\right| \]
Proof. If \( {v}_{1},\ldots ,{v}_{n} \) are the images of \( {e}_{1},\ldots ,{e}_{n} \) under \( \lambda \), then \( \lambda \left( S\right) \) is the block spanned by \( {v}_{1},\ldots ,{v}_{n} \). If we represent \( \lambda \) by the matrix \( A = \left( {a}_{ij}\right) \), then \[ {v}_{i} = {a}_{1i}{e}_{1} + \cdots ...

Proof. After a translation, we can assume that the rectangle is a block. If \( R = {\lambda }_{1}\left( S\right) \) where \( S \) is the unit cube, then\n\n\[ \lambda \left( R\right) = \lambda \circ {\lambda }_{1}\left( S\right) \]\n\nwhence by Corollary 2.2,\n\n\[ \operatorname{Vol}\lambda \left( R\right) = \left| {\o...

Proof. Let \( {U}_{0} \) be the interior of \( A \) . The sets \( f\left( A\right) \) and \( f\left( {U}_{0}\right) \) differ only by a set of measure 0, namely \( f\left( {\partial A}\right) \) . Also the sets \( A,{U}_{0} \) differ only by a set of measure 0 . Consequently we can replace the domains of integration \(...

Proof. By the corollary of Urysohn's lemma, there exists a continuous real function \( g \geqq 0 \) on \( X \) which is 1 on \( K \) has compact support. If \( f \in {C}_{K}\left( X\right) \), let \( b = \parallel f\parallel \) . Say \( f \) is real. Then \( {bg} \pm f \geqq 0 \), whence \[ \lambda \left( {bg}\right) \...

Theorem 4.4. Let \( \dim X = n \) and assume that \( X \) is oriented. Let \( \omega \) be an \( n \) -form on \( X \) of class \( {C}^{0} \) . Then there exists a unique functional \( \lambda \) on \( {C}_{c}\left( X\right) \) having the following property. If \( \left( {U,\varphi }\right) \) is an oriented chart and\...
Proof. Since the Jacobian determinant of transition maps belonging to oriented charts is positive, we see that Theorem 4.4 follows like Theorem 4.3 from the change of variables formula (in which the absolute value sign now becomes unnecessary) and the existence of partitions of unity.
