Let MMM, NNN and PPP be smooth 3-manifolds with boundary (modelled on the closed half-space), let i:M→Ni:M\to Ni:M→N be a C¹ map that is a topological embedding, and let x∈Mx\in Mx∈M be an interior point of MMM at which the derivative DixDi_xDix​ is injective. Assume that the image i(M)i(M)i(M) is a neighbourhood of i(x)i(x)i(x) in NNN. Let f:N→Pf:N\to Pf:N→P be any map. If f∘if\circ if∘i is differentiable at xxx, then

f is differentiable at i(x).f \text{ is differentiable at } i(x).f is differentiable at i(x).

In words: at such a point iii is a local C¹ diffeomorphism onto a neighbourhood of i(x)i(x)i(x), so f=(f∘i)∘i−1f=(f\circ i)\circ i^{-1}f=(f∘i)∘i−1 near i(x)i(x)i(x). This is a general fact, not stated in the paper; it is the differentiability step behind footnote 2 (the differentiable structure of W=U⊔φVW=U\sqcup_\varphi VW=U⊔φ​V is compatible with those of UUU and VVV by restriction), and it is used to transfer differentiability of the time-ttt maps of the glued field from the pieces to WWW.

Formalization Note "Differentiable at a point" is Mathlib's MDifferentiableAt: continuity at the point and differentiability of the chart representative within the model half-space. The hypothesis that i(M)i(M)i(M) is a neighbourhood of i(x)i(x)i(x) is assumed; it also follows from the other hypotheses by the inverse function theorem (xxx is interior and DixDi_xDix​ is a linear isomorphism), and the embedding hypothesis is then not needed either. No compactness is assumed.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
