Pushforward of a smooth path along a diffeomorphism #
The pushforward ψ ∘ μ of a smooth path along a C^∞ diffeomorphism of the
underlying manifolds, its tangent vector (the chain rule along the parameter
space) and the transport of past and future endpoints.
No metric appears anywhere in this file, which is why it sits below
Physicslib4/Spacetime/IsometryCausality.lean in the import graph: the
single-metric pushforward Isometry.pushforwardPath there is the instance
N := M of pushforwardPath at ψ := g.toDiffeo and is defined as such,
rather than being a second copy of the same construction. The cross-metric
consumers live in Physicslib4/Spacetime/CrossMetricIsometry.lean.
Main definitions #
Physicslib4.Spacetime.pushforwardPath(lmm:cross-metric-pushforward-path).
The tangent chain rule along a path
(lmm:cross-metric-pushforward-path-tangent):
d/ds (ψ ∘ μ)(s) = dψ_{μ s}(μ̇ s), the derivatives being taken within the
parameter space. The identity is about the differential of ψ alone and
mentions no metric.
Pushforward of a path along a diffeomorphism
(lmm:cross-metric-pushforward-path): ψ ∘ μ on the same parameter space, with
the same closedness, connectedness and non-triviality data. The only real
obligation is non-vanishing of the tangent vector, which follows from injectivity
of dψ_{μ s} (mfderivEquiv).

Instances For
The tangent vector of the pushforward path is dψ applied to the tangent
vector of μ (lmm:cross-metric-pushforward-path-tangent).
The pushforward transports past endpoints
(lmm:cross-metric-pushforward-path-endpoints). No metric or causal input is
used: the same parameter witnesses the condition.
The pushforward transports future endpoints
(lmm:cross-metric-pushforward-path-endpoints).
