Locally finite smooth partitions and cutoffs
smooth-partition-and-cutoffs
Our manifolds are finite dimensional, Hausdorff and second countable. A smooth manifold is a space with charts whose transition functions are smooth. Its tangent vectors are coordinate velocities, identified by the derivatives of chart transitions. A Lie group is a smooth manifold whose multiplication and inversion are smooth. These are definitions; no subgroup or quotient theorem is included in them.
The support of a function is the closure of the set on which it is nonzero. A compact exhaustion is a sequence of compact sets \(A_n\) with \(A_n\subset\operatorname{int}A_{n+1}\) and \(\bigcup_{n\geq0}A_n=M\). We write \(U(a,r)\) for an open Euclidean ball and \(B(a,r)\) for its closed ball.
Lemma 0.5 (a flat smooth cutoff factor). The function \(\eta(t)=e^{-1/t^2}\) for \(t>0\), extended by zero for \(t\leq0\), is smooth and all its derivatives vanish at zero.
Lemma 3.B (subordinate atlas). Suppose the topology of the manifold \(M\) has a countable basis, and let \((W_i)_{i\in I}\) be an open cover of \(M\). There is a countable family of compatible charts \(\alpha_j:U_j\to V_j\subset\mathbb R^d\), \(j\in J\), with radii \(0<\delta_j<\epsilon_j\) and \(B(0,\epsilon_j)\subset V_j\), such that
- every \(U_j\) lies in some member \(W_{i(j)}\) of the cover;
- the sets \(\alpha_j^{-1}(U(0,\delta_j))\), \(j\in J\), cover \(M\);
- every point of \(M\) has a neighbourhood meeting only finitely many \(U_j\); in particular, every point lies in only finitely many \(U_j\).
Definition 3.C (partition of unity). On a topological space \(X\), a family \((h_j)_{j\in J}\) of functions \(h_j:X\to[0,1]\) is a partition of unity if every point of \(X\) has a neighbourhood on which all but finitely many \(h_j\) vanish identically, and \(\sum_{j\in J}h_j(x)=1\) for every \(x\in X\). The first condition makes each of these sums finite. The partition is called continuous, differentiable or smooth when every \(h_j\) is.
Definition 3.D (subordinate partition). For an open cover \((W_i)_{i\in I}\) of a topological space \(X\), a partition of unity \((h_j)_{j\in J}\) on \(X\) is subordinate to the cover if for every \(j\in J\) the support of \(h_j\) lies in some member \(W_{i(j)}\).
Theorem 3.E (partition of unity). Suppose the topology of the differentiable manifold \(M\) has a countable basis. Every open cover of \(M\) has a subordinate partition of unity consisting of continuously differentiable functions, whose supports are compact and lie in coordinate domains contained in members of the cover. If \(M\) is smooth, the partition can be chosen smooth.
Theorem 3.1 (smooth partition and cutoff). Every open cover of a smooth manifold admits a locally finite smooth partition of unity subordinate to it. Its supports can be chosen compact and contained in coordinate neighbourhoods lying in members of the cover. If \(K\) is closed and \(U\) is an open neighbourhood of \(K\), there is a smooth function \(\chi:M\to[0,1]\) equal to one on a neighbourhood of \(K\), with support contained in \(U\).

Two open sets and the connecting map
AG-QC-01.theorem-5-1
Theorem 5.1 (Mayer–Vietoris). If \(X=U\cup V\) is an open cover, there is a natural exact sequence
\[
\begin{aligned}
0&\to H^0(X,\mathcal F)
\to H^0(U,\mathcal F)\oplus H^0(V,\mathcal F)
\to H^0(U\cap V,\mathcal F)\\

\to H^1(U,\mathcal F)\oplus H^1(V,\mathcal F)
\to H^1(U\cap V,\mathcal F)\to\cdots.
\end{aligned}
\]
The map from the two opens to their intersection is restriction from \(U\) minus restriction from \(V\).

Local differential rules for distributions
distribution-local-calculus
Support-relative pairing
Theorem 3.1 (support-relative test extension). Let \(u\in\mathcal D'(X)\) and let \(F\subset X\) be relatively closed, with \(\operatorname{supp}u\subset F\). On the vector space
\[
\begin{gathered}\mathcal E_F(X)=\\
\{f\in C^\infty(X):\\
F\cap\operatorname{supp}f\text{ is compact in }X\},
\end{gathered}\tag{3.1}
\]
there is a unique linear extension \(\widetilde u\) of \(u\) that vanishes whenever \(\operatorname{supp}f\cap F=\varnothing\). If \(\chi\in C_c^\infty(X)\) equals one near \(F\cap\operatorname{supp}f\), its formula is
\[
\widetilde u(f)=u(\chi f).
\tag{3.2}
\]
When \(u\) has order at most \(k\), the same construction extends its canonical \(C_c^k\) pairing to the space defined by (3.1) with \(C^k(X)\) in place of \(C^\infty(X)\).
Local operations
Define the singular support \(\operatorname{sing\,supp}u\) as the complement of the union of open sets where \(u\) is represented by a smooth function.
For \(a\in C^\infty(X)\), define
\[\begin{gathered}
(\partial_j u)(\phi)=-u(\partial_j\phi),
\\
(au)(\phi)=u(a\phi).
\end{gathered}\tag{4.2}
\]Proposition 4.1 (local differential rules). The operations (4.2) give distributions, commute with restriction, and are continuous in both the weak and strong dual topologies for fixed \(a\). They satisfy
\[
\begin{gathered}
\operatorname{supp}(\partial_j u)\\\subset\operatorname{supp}u,
\\
\operatorname{supp}(au)\\\subset\operatorname{supp}a\cap\operatorname{supp}u,\\
\operatorname{sing\,supp}(\partial_j u)\\\subset\operatorname{sing\,supp}u,
\\
\operatorname{sing\,supp}(au)\\\subset\operatorname{supp}a\cap\operatorname{sing\,supp}u,\\
\partial^\alpha(au)=\\
\sum_{\beta\le\alpha}\binom{\alpha}{\beta}
(\partial^\beta a)\partial^{\alpha-\beta}u.
\end{gathered}
\tag{4.3}
\]
Partial derivatives commute. Both formulas in (4.2) also hold for every \(f\in\mathcal E_{\operatorname{supp}u}(X)\), using the extended pairings on their left sides.
If \(a\in C^k(X)\) and \(u\) has order at most \(k\), the second formula still defines \(au\), by the \(C_c^k\) pairing. It has order at most \(k\), with support contained in the same support intersection. The singular-support assertions require a smooth multiplier.

Compact cohomology and quotient topologies

Theorem 2.2 (finiteness criterion). Let \(\rho:(E^\bullet,d)\to(F^\bullet,\delta)\) be a morphism of complexes of Fréchet spaces with continuous differentials. If \(\rho^q\) is compact and \(H^q(\rho):H^q(E^\bullet)\to H^q(F^\bullet)\) is surjective, then \(H^q(F^\bullet)\) is finite-dimensional and \(\delta(F^{q-1})\) is closed in \(F^q\).
Proof. Consider \(g,h:Z^q(E^\bullet)\oplus F^{q-1}\to Z^q(F^\bullet)\), \(g(x,y)=\rho^q(x)+\delta y\), \(h(x,y)=-\rho^q(x)\), between Fréchet spaces (cocycle spaces are closed). Surjectivity of \(H^q(\rho)\) means that \(g\) is surjective, and \(h\) is compact. By Theorem 2.1, \(g+h=(x,y)\mapsto\delta y\) is a quasi-epimorphism, so \(\delta(F^{q-1})\) is closed and of finite codimension in \(Z^q(F^\bullet)\). \(\square\)
Remark 2.3. In the situation of Theorem 2.2 without compactness, if \(H^q(\rho)\) is surjective then the map \(g\) is open by Theorem 1.1, so \(H^q(\rho)\) is open for the quotient topologies; if \(H^q(\rho)\) is bijective it is a homeomorphism.

The topology and compact restriction of coherent sections
complex-analytic-spaces-and-coherent-sheaves.frechet-spaces-of-sections-and-schwartzs-theorem.proposition-5-1+proposition-5-2
Let \(X\) be a complex space and \(\mathcal S\) a coherent \(\mathcal O_X\)-module. Call an open set \(U\subset X\) standard if it is of the form \(U=A\cap V\), where \(A\subset\Omega\subset\mathbf C^N\) is a distinguished patch for \(\mathcal S\) (Definition 4.2 of the previous lesson) with resolution beginning \(\mathcal O_\Omega^{p_0}\to i_*\mathcal S\to0\), and \(V\subset\Omega\) is a Stein domain. By Proposition 4.3 of the previous lesson, the sequence
\[\begin{gathered}0\longrightarrow\mathcal Z_0(V)\longrightarrow\mathcal O(V)^{p_0}\\\longrightarrow\mathcal S(U)\longrightarrow0\end{gathered}\tag{5.1}\]
is exact, and \(\mathcal Z_0(V)\) is closed by Section 4. Give \(\mathcal S(U)\) the quotient Fréchet topology.
Proposition 5.1. This topology does not depend on the choices. For an arbitrary open set \(W\subset X\), the topology on \(\mathcal S(W)\) induced by the injection \(\mathcal S(W)\to\prod_\alpha\mathcal S(U_\alpha)\), for any countable covering of \(W\) by standard open sets, is a Fréchet topology independent of the covering, and it agrees with the previous one when \(W\) is standard.
Proposition 5.2. Let \(\mathcal S\) be coherent on \(X\).
- For every \(x\in W\), the map \(\mathcal S(W)\to\mathcal S_x\) is continuous for the Krull topology of the finitely generated \(\mathcal O_{X,x}\)-module \(\mathcal S_x\).
- If \(\mathcal S'\subset\mathcal S\) is a coherent subsheaf, \(\mathcal S'(W)\) is closed in \(\mathcal S(W)\). A morphism of coherent sheaves induces continuous maps on sections, and restriction maps are continuous.
- If \(W'\subset W\) is open with compact closure \(\overline{W'}\subset W\), the restriction \(\mathcal S(W)\to\mathcal S(W')\) is compact.

Right derived functors on bounded-below complexes
derived-categories-and-sheaf-operations.injective-modules-and-bounded-below-derived-functors.theorem-4-1
Theorem 4.1. Let \(\mathcal A\) and \(\mathcal B\) be abelian, and assume that every object of \(\mathcal A\) embeds in an injective object. Let \(\Phi:\mathcal A\to\mathcal B\) be additive.
- Every bounded-below complex \(K\) has a qis \(K\to I\) into a bounded-below complex of injectives. If \(K^n=0\) for \(n<a\), it can be chosen injective in each degree, with \(I^n=0\) for \(n<a\).
- Such an \(I\) is K-injective (Lemma 3.2). Hence \(\operatorname{Hom}_{K(\mathcal A)}(L,I)=\operatorname{Hom}_{D(\mathcal A)}(L,I)\) for every \(L\). A morphism into \(I\) extends along a qis, uniquely up to homotopy.
- The rule \(R\Phi(K)=\Phi(I)\) gives a triangulated functor \(D^+(\mathcal A)\to D^+(\mathcal B)\), and this functor is the right derived functor \(R\Phi\). If \(\Phi\) is left exact, \(R^0\Phi=\Phi\) and \((R^i\Phi)_i\) is a universal \(\delta\)-functor.
- (Leray) If \(\Phi\) is left exact and \(J\) is a bounded-below complex with \(R^i\Phi(J^n)=0\) for all \(i>0\) and all \(n\), then \(\Phi(J)\to R\Phi(J)\) is an isomorphism. Left exactness cannot be dropped. For a general additive \(\Phi\), the terms must also satisfy \(\Phi(J^n)\cong R^0\Phi(J^n)\), which holds by (3) when \(\Phi\) is left exact. For \(\Phi=-\otimes_{\mathbb Z}\mathbb Z/2\) on \(\operatorname{Mod}(\mathbb Z)\) and \(J=\mathbb Z\) in degree \(0\), the injective resolution \(\mathbb Q\to\mathbb Q/\mathbb Z\) gives \(R\Phi(\mathbb Z)=0\), because \(\mathbb Q\) and \(\mathbb Q/\mathbb Z\) are divisible, while \(\Phi(\mathbb Z)=\mathbb Z/2\).
- For \(\mathcal A=\operatorname{Mod}(\mathcal O)\), with \(\mathcal O\) any sheaf of rings, (1)–(4) hold by Theorem 2.3. This gives \(Rf_*\), \(R\Gamma(U,-)\), and \(R\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal O}(G,-)\) on \(D^+\). The support functor is treated in Sections with support and the localization triangle.

Explicit cutoffs on coordinate balls
coordinate-ball-cutoff-alternative
Section 13.10: construction and proof
Keep the function from this lesson:
\[\begin{gathered}
\eta(s)=\begin{cases}0,&s\le0,\\ E(-1/s),&s>0.\end{cases}
\\
\chi(s)=\frac{\eta(3/2-s)}
{\eta(3/2-s)+\eta(s-1)}.
\end{gathered}\tag{OC38}
\]
For
\(s>0\),
chain and product differentiation give
\[\begin{gathered}
\eta^{(r)}(s)=E(-1/s)P_r(1/s),\\
P_0(u)=1,\\
P_{r+1}(u)=u^2[P_r(u)-P_r'(u)].
\end{gathered}\tag{OC39}
\]
This exact recursion retains every polynomial coefficient, sign and
power. If
\(u>0\)
and
\(m\ge0\)
is an integer, the positive series gives
\(E(u)\ge u^{m+1}/(m+1)!\),
whence
\[\begin{gathered}
0\le u^mE(-u)
\\\le\frac{(m+1)!}{u}\longrightarrow0
\\(u\longrightarrow+\infty).
\end{gathered}\tag{OC40}
\]
Every term of
\(P_r(u)\),
and of
\(uP_r(u)\),
therefore tends to zero after multiplication by
\(E(-u)\).
It follows first that
\(\eta\)
is continuous at zero. Inductively, extend the positive-side
\(r\)-th
derivative by zero for
\(s\le0\).
It is continuous at zero, and its derivative there is the limit of
\(E(-1/s)P_r(1/s)/s\),
which is zero by the just-proved estimate. Its derivative away from zero
is precisely the next recursion. This proves
\(\eta\in C^\infty(\mathbb R)\)
and every derivative zero at the original endpoint.
The denominator in
\(\chi\)
is strictly positive for every real
\(s\).
Otherwise both terms would vanish, requiring simultaneously
\(s\ge3/2\)
and
\(s\le1\).
The full reciprocal and product rules show that
\(\chi\)
is smooth, with
\(0\le\chi\le1\),
\(\chi=1\)
for
\(s\le1\),
and
\(\chi=0\)
for
\(s\ge3/2\).
The function
\(\chi\)
itself is not asserted to have compact support on the whole real line:
its negative half-line is one. On
\([0,\infty)\)
its support is exactly
\([0,3/2]\).
The actual Euclidean cutoff is
\(\theta(x)=\chi(\sum_{j=1}^d x_j^2)\).
The inner function is a polynomial in every original coordinate. The
proved full chain rules therefore make
\(\theta\)
smooth; it equals one when
\(\sum_jx_j^2\le1\)
and vanishes when
\(\sum_jx_j^2\ge3/2\).
Its support is the full closed ball
\(\sum_jx_j^2\le3/2\),
compact by the proved original topology. Every derivative is continuous
on that support and zero outside it; compact extrema give its actual
finite derivative bounds. In dimension zero the entire space is a point,
the value is one and its support is compact; no nonexistent coordinate
derivative is assigned.
For any specified original center
\(x_0\)
and radii
\(0\le r<R\),
the map
\[\begin{gathered}
x\longmapsto\\
\chi\left(\begin{gathered}1+\\\frac{\sum_{j=1}^d(x_j-x_{0j})^2-r^2}{2(R^2-r^2)}\end{gathered}\right)
\end{gathered}\tag{OC41}
\] retains every translation, square and
denominator. It equals one on the closed
radius-\(r\)
ball. Its nonzero set is exactly the open
radius-\(R\)
ball, because the full cutoff is positive precisely when its scalar
input is below
\(3/2\).
Its support is therefore the full closed
radius-\(R\)
ball, including the outer sphere where the value itself is zero. In
dimension zero the domain is its single point and these sets have that
same one-point meaning. This is a proved coordinate construction, not a
change to the original cutoff in (OC38). For an open domain and any one
of its points, choose an outer ball whose closure lies inside that
domain; the construction gives the required local compact cutoff.
For a locally finite family of supports, every point has a
neighborhood meeting only finitely many of them. All other functions and
all their derivatives vanish on that neighborhood. Its full sum and
every derivative are therefore the corresponding finite sums there. The
same argument applies to a compact set by its finite neighborhood
subcover. No interchange of an uncontrolled infinite derivative sum is
asserted.

Cauchy–Schwarz for positive semidefinite forms
hilbert-cauchy-schwarz
A sesquilinear form on a complex vector space \(V\) is a map \(B:V\times V\to\mathbb C\), linear in the first variable and conjugate-linear in the second. It is Hermitian if \(B(\eta,\xi)=\overline{B(\xi,\eta)}\), and positive semidefinite if \(B(\xi,\xi)\ge0\) for all \(\xi\).
Proposition 1.1.
- (Polarization) \(4B(\xi,\eta)=\sum_{k=0}^3i^kB(\xi+i^k\eta,\xi+i^k\eta)\).
- A form with \(B(\xi,\xi)\in\mathbb R\) for all \(\xi\) is Hermitian.
- (Cauchy–Schwarz) If \(B\) is positive semidefinite, then \(|B(\xi,\eta)|^2\le B(\xi,\xi)B(\eta,\eta)\). Consequently \(\{\xi:B(\xi,\xi)=0\}\) is a subspace, and \(\xi\mapsto B(\xi,\xi)^{1/2}\) is a seminorm.

Completions and bounded extensions
bounded-functional-extension
Lemma (Completion). A normed space \(E\) embeds linearly and isometrically as a dense subspace of a Banach space \(\widehat E\). If its norm comes from an inner product, that product extends to \(\widehat E\), which is then a Hilbert space. Every bounded linear map \(T:E\to F\), with \(F\) a Banach space, has a unique bounded linear extension to \(\widehat E\), of the same norm. In particular the Hilbert construction applies to a positive semidefinite form after taking its quotient by the null subspace.

Theorem 2.2 (projection theorem). Let \(L\) be a closed subspace of a real or complex Hilbert space \(H\). Then:
- \(H=L\oplus L^\perp\);

- for every subspace \(Y\), \(\overline Y=(Y^\perp)^\perp\).

The complete product metric within the Polish-space lemma
EF-countable-product-metric-component
Containing lemma: full statement. The application below uses the complete-metric argument in part (3). The Polish-space conclusion also assumes separability.
Lemma 1.3.
- (Testing on generators) Suppose \(\mathcal B=\sigma(f_i:i\in I)\). A map \(g:\Gamma\to X\) is measurable if and only if every \(f_i\circ g\) is measurable.
- (Countable bases) If a topological space has a countable base \(\mathcal U\), every open set is a countable union of members of \(\mathcal U\), so the Borel sets are \(\sigma(\mathcal U)\). The Borel structure of a product of countably many second countable spaces is generated by the coordinate maps. In particular, for a countable set \(D\), the Borel structure of \(\mathbb R^D\) is generated by the coordinates.
- (A stock of Polish spaces) Closed subsets and countable products of Polish spaces are Polish, and so is the disjoint union of two Polish spaces, each piece open in the union. The space \(\mathbb N^{\mathbb N}\) is Polish. A separable metrizable space, and hence every standard Borel space, has at most \(2^{\aleph_0}\) points.
- (Pieces) Let \(\Gamma\) be the union of countably many sets \(\Gamma_d\in\Sigma\). A map \(g\) on \(\Gamma\) whose restriction to every \(\Gamma_d\) is measurable for the relative \(\sigma\)-algebra is measurable.
