## 以下是一次Math 141: Differential Topology代考案例

Problem 1.

The following sequence of problems explains the idea of how to produce a proper map from a manifold to $\mathbb{R}$.
(a) Recall the “bump function” defined in problem 18 of GP $1.1 .$ In that problem, you showed that for any $0<a<b$, there exists a smooth function on $\mathbb{R}^{k}$ that is 1 on the ball of radius $a$, zero outside the ball of radius $b$, and strictly between 0 and 1 at intermediate points. Let $\mu_{j}: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a bump function that is 0 outside of $(j-2, j+2)$ and 1 on $(j-1, j+1)$. Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be the function
$$f(x)=\sum_{j \in \mathbb{Z}}|j| \mu_{j}(x)$$
Show that this sum is finite for every $x$ (so that $f$ is well-defined), that $f$ is smooth, and that $f$ is proper.
(b) Now we generalize to higher dimensions. Let $p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}, \ldots$ be a list of all the points in $\mathbb{R}^{k}$ with integer coordinates. For example, the point $(1,2,3,-4) \in \mathbb{R}^{4}$ counts, but not $(0.37,2,3,5)$. Note that there are countably many such points, so it is possible to make such a list. Let $\mu_{j}: \mathbb{R}^{k} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a bump function that is 0 outside of the ball of radius $k+1$ centered at $p_{j}$, and 1 on the ball of radius $k$ centered at $p_{j} .$ Show that
$$f(x)=\sum_{j=1}^{\infty} j \mu_{j}(x)$$
is well defined, smooth, proper, and never zero.
(c) (partitions of unity) Using the functions $\mu_{j}$ from the previous part, define
$$\theta_{j}(x)=\frac{\mu_{j}(x)}{\sum_{j=1}^{\infty} \mu_{j}(x)}$$
Show that $\theta_{j}$ has the following properties (these should be easy)
– $0 \leq \theta_{j}(x) \leq 1$ for all $x$
– At each point $x$, all but finitely many $\theta_{j}$ are zero. In fact, $\theta_{j}$ is zero outside the ball of radius $k+1$ about $p_{j}$
– For each $x, \sum_{j=1}^{\infty} \theta_{j}(x)=1$

Remark: A collection of functions $\theta_{j}$ on a manifold $X$ with these properties is called a “partition of unity”. On page 52 of GP, it is proved that such a collection exists for any manifold, and instead of “ball of radius 2 about $p_{j} “$ one can choose any collection of open sets $B_{1}, B_{2}, \ldots$ that cover $X$ and have $\theta_{j}$ be zero outside of $B_{j}$
(d) (bonus question, not to hand in) Now let $X$ be an arbitrary manifold. Generalize our strategy for $\mathbb{R}^{k}$ to produce a proper map from $X$ to $\mathbb{R}$. The solution proposed in GP uses partitions of unity.

Problem 2.

(a) (3 points) Suppose $f$ and $g$ are smooth functions from $X$ to $Y$. What does it mean for $f$ to be homotopic to $g ?$

(b) ( 6 points) Let $Y$ be a manifold with the property that every smooth function $f: S^{1} \rightarrow Y$ is homotopic to a constant function (in other words, $Y$ is “simply connected”). Prove that $Y \times \mathbb{R}$ also has this property.

Essential Prerequisites:
Students should be very comfortable with the following concepts:
i. Continuity of functions (from R^n to R^n, and on general metric spaces)
ii. Metric spaces
iii. Topology: open and closed sets, compactness, covers, homeomorphisms.
iv. Multivariable calculus: Differentiability of functions from R^n to R^n. Linear maps.

Suggested reading for i-iii: A. Hatcher’s Notes on introductory point-set topology or Chapter 2 of C. Pugh’s book Real Mathematical Analysis.

## General information for students

#### Textbook

The textbook for this course is Differential Topology by Guillemin and Pollack. We will cover most of chapters 1, 2 and 3.

#### Supplementary reading (not required)

– Chapter 1 (two lectures on manifolds) from A mathematical gift III. Highly recommended as motivation for the content of this class.
– L. Christine Kinsey, Topology of Surfaces (alternate text suggested by a previous instructor)
– V. V. Prasolov, Intuitive topology. (not as closely related to this class, but a good perspective on aspects of topology)

#### Also of interest

You may enjoy doing an independent study through the Directed Reading Program .
