Topological Manifolds¶
Given a topological field \(K\) (in most applications, \(K = \RR\) or \(K = \CC\)) and a non-negative integer \(n\), a topological manifold of dimension \(n\) over K is a topological space \(M\) such that
\(M\) is a Hausdorff space,
\(M\) is second countable,
every point in \(M\) has a neighborhood homeomorphic to \(K^n\).
Topological manifolds are implemented via the class
TopologicalManifold
. Open subsets of topological manifolds
are also implemented via TopologicalManifold
, since they are
topological manifolds by themselves.
In the current setting, topological manifolds are mostly described by
means of charts (see Chart
).
TopologicalManifold
serves as a base class for more specific
manifold classes.
The user interface is provided by the generic function
Manifold()
, with
with the argument structure
set to 'topological'
.
Example 1: the 2-sphere as a topological manifold of dimension 2 over \(\RR\)
One starts by declaring \(S^2\) as a 2-dimensional topological manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'S^2', structure='topological')
sage: M
2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
Since the base topological field has not been specified in the argument list
of Manifold
, \(\RR\) is assumed:
sage: M.base_field()
Real Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: dim(M)
2
Let us consider the complement of a point, the “North pole” say; this is an open subset of \(S^2\), which we call \(U\):
sage: U = M.open_subset('U'); U
Open subset U of the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
A standard chart on \(U\) is provided by the stereographic projection from the North pole to the equatorial plane:
sage: stereoN.<x,y> = U.chart(); stereoN
Chart (U, (x, y))
Thanks to the operator <x,y>
on the left-hand side, the coordinates
declared in a chart (here \(x\) and \(y\)), are accessible by their names;
they are Sage’s symbolic variables:
sage: y
y
sage: type(y)
<type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
The South pole is the point of coordinates \((x, y) = (0, 0)\) in the above chart:
sage: S = U.point((0,0), chart=stereoN, name='S'); S
Point S on the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
Let us call \(V\) the open subset that is the complement of the South pole and let us introduce on it the chart induced by the stereographic projection from the South pole to the equatorial plane:
sage: V = M.open_subset('V'); V
Open subset V of the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
sage: stereoS.<u,v> = V.chart(); stereoS
Chart (V, (u, v))
The North pole is the point of coordinates \((u, v) = (0, 0)\) in this chart:
sage: N = V.point((0,0), chart=stereoS, name='N'); N
Point N on the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
To fully construct the manifold, we declare that it is the union of \(U\) and \(V\):
sage: M.declare_union(U,V)
and we provide the transition map between the charts stereoN
=
\((U, (x, y))\) and stereoS
= \((V, (u, v))\), denoting by \(W\) the
intersection of \(U\) and \(V\) (\(W\) is the subset of \(U\) defined by
\(x^2 + y^2 \neq 0\), as well as the subset of \(V\) defined by
\(u^2 + v^2 \neq 0\)):
sage: stereoN_to_S = stereoN.transition_map(stereoS, [x/(x^2+y^2), y/(x^2+y^2)],
....: intersection_name='W', restrictions1= x^2+y^2!=0,
....: restrictions2= u^2+v^2!=0)
sage: stereoN_to_S
Change of coordinates from Chart (W, (x, y)) to Chart (W, (u, v))
sage: stereoN_to_S.display()
u = x/(x^2 + y^2)
v = y/(x^2 + y^2)
We give the name W
to the Python variable representing \(W = U \cap V\):
sage: W = U.intersection(V)
The inverse of the transition map is computed by the method
sage.manifolds.chart.CoordChange.inverse()
:
sage: stereoN_to_S.inverse()
Change of coordinates from Chart (W, (u, v)) to Chart (W, (x, y))
sage: stereoN_to_S.inverse().display()
x = u/(u^2 + v^2)
y = v/(u^2 + v^2)
At this stage, we have four open subsets on \(S^2\):
sage: M.subset_family()
Set {S^2, U, V, W} of open subsets of the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
\(W\) is the open subset that is the complement of the two poles:
sage: N in W or S in W
False
The North pole lies in \(V\) and the South pole in \(U\):
sage: N in V, N in U
(True, False)
sage: S in U, S in V
(True, False)
The manifold’s (user) atlas contains four charts, two of them being restrictions of charts to a smaller domain:
sage: M.atlas()
[Chart (U, (x, y)), Chart (V, (u, v)),
Chart (W, (x, y)), Chart (W, (u, v))]
Let us consider the point of coordinates \((1, 2)\) in the chart stereoN
:
sage: p = M.point((1,2), chart=stereoN, name='p'); p
Point p on the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
sage: p.parent()
2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
sage: p in W
True
The coordinates of \(p\) in the chart stereoS
are computed by letting
the chart act on the point:
sage: stereoS(p)
(1/5, 2/5)
Given the definition of \(p\), we have of course:
sage: stereoN(p)
(1, 2)
Similarly:
sage: stereoS(N)
(0, 0)
sage: stereoN(S)
(0, 0)
A continuous map \(S^2 \to \RR\) (scalar field):
sage: f = M.scalar_field({stereoN: atan(x^2+y^2), stereoS: pi/2-atan(u^2+v^2)},
....: name='f')
sage: f
Scalar field f on the 2-dimensional topological manifold S^2
sage: f.display()
f: S^2 → ℝ
on U: (x, y) ↦ arctan(x^2 + y^2)
on V: (u, v) ↦ 1/2*pi - arctan(u^2 + v^2)
sage: f(p)
arctan(5)
sage: f(N)
1/2*pi
sage: f(S)
0
sage: f.parent()

sage: f.parent().category()

Example 2: the Riemann sphere as a topological manifold of dimension 1 over \(\CC\)
We declare the Riemann sphere \(\CC^*\) as a 1-dimensional topological manifold over \(\CC\):
sage: M = Manifold(1, 'ℂ*', structure='topological', field='complex'); M
Complex 1-dimensional topological manifold ℂ*
We introduce a first open subset, which is actually \(\CC = \CC^*\setminus\{\infty\}\) if we interpret \(\CC^*\) as the Alexandroff one-point compactification of \(\CC\):
sage: U = M.open_subset('U')
A natural chart on \(U\) is then nothing but the identity map of \(\CC\), hence we denote the associated coordinate by \(z\):
sage: Z.<z> = U.chart()
The origin of the complex plane is the point of coordinate \(z = 0\):
sage: O = U.point((0,), chart=Z, name='O'); O
Point O on the Complex 1-dimensional topological manifold ℂ*
Another open subset of \(\CC^*\) is \(V = \CC^*\setminus\{O\}\):
sage: V = M.open_subset('V')
We define a chart on \(V\) such that the point at infinity is the point of coordinate \(0\) in this chart:
sage: W.<w> = V.chart(); W
Chart (V, (w,))
sage: inf = M.point((0,), chart=W, name='inf', latex_name=r'\infty')
sage: inf
Point inf on the Complex 1-dimensional topological manifold ℂ*
To fully construct the Riemann sphere, we declare that it is the union of \(U\) and \(V\):
sage: M.declare_union(U,V)
and we provide the transition map between the two charts as \(w = 1 / z\) on \(A = U \cap V\):
sage: Z_to_W = Z.transition_map(W, 1/z, intersection_name='A',
....: restrictions1= z!=0, restrictions2= w!=0)
sage: Z_to_W
Change of coordinates from Chart (A, (z,)) to Chart (A, (w,))
sage: Z_to_W.display()
w = 1/z
sage: Z_to_W.inverse()
Change of coordinates from Chart (A, (w,)) to Chart (A, (z,))
sage: Z_to_W.inverse().display()
z = 1/w
Let consider the complex number \(i\) as a point of the Riemann sphere:
sage: i = M((I,), chart=Z, name='i'); i
Point i on the Complex 1-dimensional topological manifold ℂ*
Its coordinates w.r.t. the charts Z
and W
are:
sage: Z(i)
(I,)
sage: W(i)
(-I,)
and we have:
sage: i in U
True
sage: i in V
True
The following subsets and charts have been defined:
sage: M.subset_family()
Set {A, U, V, ℂ*} of open subsets of the Complex 1-dimensional topological manifold ℂ*
sage: M.atlas()
[Chart (U, (z,)), Chart (V, (w,)), Chart (A, (z,)), Chart (A, (w,))]
A constant map \(\CC^* \rightarrow \CC\):
sage: f = M.constant_scalar_field(3+2*I, name='f'); f

Construct a manifold of a given type over a topological field.
Given a topological field \(K\) (in most applications, \(K = \RR\) or \(K = \CC\)) and a non-negative integer \(n\), a topological manifold of dimension \(n\) over K is a topological space \(M\) such that
\(M\) is a Hausdorff space,
\(M\) is second countable, and
every point in \(M\) has a neighborhood homeomorphic to \(K^n\).
A real manifold is a manifold over \(\RR\). A differentiable (resp. smooth, resp. analytic) manifold is a manifold such that all transition maps are differentiable (resp. smooth, resp. analytic). A pseudo-Riemannian manifold is a real differentiable manifold equipped with a metric tensor \(g\) (i.e. a field of non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms), with the two subcases of Riemannian manifold (\(g\) positive-definite) and Lorentzian manifold (\(g\) has signature \(n-2\) or \(2-n\)).

EXAMPLES:
A 3-dimensional real topological manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological'); M 3-dimensional topological manifold M
Given the default value of the parameter
field
, the above is equivalent to:sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological', field='real'); M 3-dimensional topological manifold M
A complex topological manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological', field='complex'); M Complex 3-dimensional topological manifold M
A topological manifold over \(\QQ\):
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological', field=QQ); M 3-dimensional topological manifold M over the Rational Field
A 3-dimensional real differentiable manifold of class \(C^4\):
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', field='real', structure='differentiable', ....: diff_degree=4); M 3-dimensional differentiable manifold M
Since the default value of the parameter
field
is'real'
, the above is equivalent to:sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='differentiable', diff_degree=4) sage: M 3-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: M.base_field_type() 'real'
A 3-dimensional real smooth manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='differentiable', diff_degree=+oo) sage: M 3-dimensional differentiable manifold M
Instead of
structure='differentiable', diff_degree=+oo
, it suffices to usestructure='smooth'
to get the same result:sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='smooth'); M 3-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: M.diff_degree() +Infinity
Actually, since
'smooth'
is the default value of the parameterstructure
, the creation of a real smooth manifold can be shortened to:sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M'); M 3-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: M.diff_degree() +Infinity
For a complex smooth manifold, we have to set the parameter
field
:sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', field='complex'); M 3-dimensional complex manifold M sage: M.diff_degree() +Infinity
Submanifolds are constructed by means of the keyword
ambient
:sage: N = Manifold(2, 'N', field='complex', ambient=M); N 2-dimensional differentiable submanifold N immersed in the 3-dimensional complex manifold M
The immersion \(N\to M\) has to be specified in a second stage, via the method
set_immersion()
orset_embedding()

TopologicalManifold
,DifferentiableManifold
andPseudoRiemannianManifold
, or the documentation ofTopologicalSubmanifold

andPseudoRiemannianSubmanifold
for submanifolds.Uniqueness of manifold objects
Suppose we construct a manifold named \(M\):
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart()
At some point, we change our mind and would like to restart with a new manifold, using the same name \(M\) and keeping the previous manifold for reference:
sage: M_old = M # for reference sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological')
This results in a brand new object:
sage: M.atlas() []
The object
M_old
is intact:sage: M_old.atlas() [Chart (M, (x, y))]
Both objects have the same display:
sage: M 2-dimensional topological manifold M sage: M_old 2-dimensional topological manifold M
but they are different:
sage: M != M_old True
Let us introduce a chart on
M
, using the same coordinate symbols as forM_old
:sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart()
The charts are displayed in the same way:
sage: M.atlas() [Chart (M, (x, y))] sage: M_old.atlas() [Chart (M, (x, y))]
but they are actually different:
sage: M.atlas()[0] != M_old.atlas()[0] True
Moreover, the two manifolds
M
andM_old
are still considered distinct:sage: M != M_old True
This reflects the fact that the equality of manifold objects holds only for identical objects, i.e. one has
M1 == M2
if, and only if,M1 is M2
. Actually, the manifold classes inherit fromWithEqualityById
:sage: isinstance(M, sage.misc.fast_methods.WithEqualityById) True

- chart(coordinates='', names=None, calc_method=None, coord_restrictions=None)¶
Define a chart, the domain of which is the manifold.
A chart is a pair \((U, \varphi)\), where \(U\) is the current manifold and \(\varphi: U \rightarrow V \subset K^n\) is a homeomorphism from \(U\) to an open subset \(V\) of \(K^n\), \(K\) being the field on which the manifold is defined.
The components \((x^1, \ldots, x^n)\) of \(\varphi\), defined by \(\varphi(p) = (x^1(p), \ldots, x^n(p)) \in K^n\) for any point \(p \in U\), are called the coordinates of the chart \((U, \varphi)\).
See
Chart
for a complete documentation.INPUT:
coordinates
– (default:''
(empty string)) string defining the coordinate symbols, ranges and possible periodicities, see belownames
– (default:None
) unused argument, except ifcoordinates
is not provided; it must then be a tuple containing the coordinate symbols (this is guaranteed if the shortcut operator<,>
is used)calc_method
– (default:None
) string defining the calculus method to be used on this chart; must be one of'SR'
: Sage’s default symbolic engine (Symbolic Ring)'sympy'
: SymPyNone
: the current calculus method defined on the manifold is used (cf.set_calculus_method()
)
coord_restrictions
: Additional restrictions on the coordinates. See below.
The coordinates declared in the string
coordinates
are separated by' '
(whitespace) and each coordinate has at most four fields, separated by a colon (':'
):The coordinate symbol (a letter or a few letters).
(optional, only for manifolds over \(\RR\)) The interval \(I\) defining the coordinate range: if not provided, the coordinate is assumed to span all \(\RR\); otherwise \(I\) must be provided in the form
(a,b)
(or equivalently]a,b[
) The boundsa
andb
can be+/-Infinity
,Inf
,infinity
,inf
oroo
. For singular coordinates, non-open intervals such as[a,b]
and(a,b]
(or equivalently]a,b]
) are allowed. Note that the interval declaration must not contain any space character.(optional) Indicator of the periodic character of the coordinate, either as
period=T
, whereT
is the period, or, for manifolds over \(\RR\) only, as the keywordperiodic
(the value of the period is then deduced from the interval \(I\) declared in field 2; see the example below)(optional) The LaTeX spelling of the coordinate; if not provided the coordinate symbol given in the first field will be used.
The order of fields 2 to 4 does not matter and each of them can be omitted. If it contains any LaTeX expression, the string
coordinates
must be declared with the prefix ‘r’ (for “raw”) to allow for a proper treatment of the backslash character (see examples below). If no interval range, no period and no LaTeX spelling is to be set for any coordinate, the argumentcoordinates
can be omitted when the shortcut operator<,>
is used to declare the chart (see examples below).Additional restrictions on the coordinates can be set using the argument

orx^2 + y^2 != 0
. The items of the list (or set or frozenset)coord_restrictions
are combined with theand
operator; if some restrictions are to be combined with theor
operator instead, they have to be passed as a tuple in some single item of the list (or set or frozenset)coord_restrictions
. For example:coord_restrictions=[x > y, (x != 0, y != 0), z^2 < x]
means
(x > y) and ((x != 0) or (y != 0)) and (z^2 < x)
. If the listcoord_restrictions
contains only one item, this item can be passed as such, i.e. writingx > y
instead of the single element list[x > y]
. If the chart variables have not been declared as variables yet,coord_restrictions
must belambda
-quoted.OUTPUT:
the created chart, as an instance of
Chart
or one of its subclasses, likeRealDiffChart
for differentiable manifolds over \(\RR\).
EXAMPLES:
Chart on a 2-dimensional manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X = M.chart('x y'); X Chart (M, (x, y)) sage: X[0] x sage: X[1] y sage: X[:] (x, y)
The declared coordinates are not known at the global level:
sage: y Traceback (most recent call last): ... NameError: name 'y' is not defined
They can be recovered by the operator
[:]
applied to the chart:sage: (x, y) = X[:] sage: y y sage: type(y) <type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
But a shorter way to proceed is to use the operator
<,>
in the left-hand side of the chart declaration (there is then no need to pass the string ‘x y’ to chart()):sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart(); X Chart (M, (x, y))
Indeed, the declared coordinates are then known at the global level:
sage: y y sage: (x,y) == X[:] True
Actually the instruction
X.<x,y> = M.chart()
is equivalent to the combination of the two instructionsX = M.chart('x y')
and(x,y) = X[:]
.As an example of coordinate ranges and LaTeX symbols passed via the string
coordinates
tochart()
, let us introduce polar coordinates:sage: U = M.open_subset('U', coord_def={X: x^2+y^2 != 0}) sage: P.<r,ph> = U.chart(r'r:(0,+oo) ph:(0,2*pi):periodic:\phi'); P Chart (U, (r, ph)) sage: P.coord_range() r: (0, +oo); ph: [0, 2*pi] (periodic) sage: latex(P) \left(U,(r, {\phi})\right)
Using
coord_restrictions
:sage: D = Manifold(2, 'D', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = D.chart(coord_restrictions=lambda x,y: [x^2+y^2<1, x>0]); X Chart (D, (x, y)) sage: X.valid_coordinates(0, 0) False sage: X.valid_coordinates(1/2, 0) True

Create an open subset of the manifold.
An open subset is a set that is (i) included in the manifold and (ii) open with respect to the manifold’s topology. It is a topological manifold by itself. Hence the returned object is an instance of
TopologicalManifold
.INPUT:

– name given to the open subsetlatex_name

– (default: onlyself
) list of sets that the new open subset is a subset of
OUTPUT:
the open subset, as an instance of
TopologicalManifold
EXAMPLES:
Creating an open subset of a 2-dimensional manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: A = M.open_subset('A'); A Open subset A of the 2-dimensional topological manifold M
As an open subset of a topological manifold,
A
is itself a topological manifold, on the same topological field and of the same dimension asM
:sage: isinstance(A, sage.manifolds.manifold.TopologicalManifold) True sage: A.base_field() == M.base_field() True sage: dim(A) == dim(M) True sage: A.category() is M.category().Subobjects() True
Creating an open subset of
A
:sage: B = A.open_subset('B'); B Open subset B of the 2-dimensional topological manifold M
We have then:
sage: frozenset(A.subsets()) # random (set output) {Open subset B of the 2-dimensional topological manifold M, Open subset A of the 2-dimensional topological manifold M} sage: B.is_subset(A) True sage: B.is_subset(M) True
Defining an open subset by some coordinate restrictions: the open unit disk in \(\RR^2\):
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'R^2', structure='topological') sage: c_cart.<x,y> = M.chart() # Cartesian coordinates on R^2 sage: U = M.open_subset('U', coord_def={c_cart: x^2+y^2<1}); U Open subset U of the 2-dimensional topological manifold R^2
Since the argument
coord_def
has been set,U
is automatically provided with a chart, which is the restriction of the Cartesian one toU
:sage: U.atlas() [Chart (U, (x, y))]
Therefore, one can immediately check whether a point belongs to
U
:sage: M.point((0,0)) in U True sage: M.point((1/2,1/3)) in U True sage: M.point((1,2)) in U False
- options(*get_value, **set_value)¶
Sets and displays the options for manifolds. If no parameters are set, then the function returns a copy of the options dictionary.
The
options
to manifolds can be accessed as the methodManifold.options
.OPTIONS:
omit_function_arguments
– (default:False
) Determine whether the arguments of symbolic functions are printedtextbook_output
– (default:True
) textbook-like output instead of the Pynac output for derivatives
EXAMPLES:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart() sage: g = function('g')(x, y)
For coordinate functions, the display is more “textbook” like:
sage: f = X.function(diff(g, x) + diff(g, y)) sage: f d(g)/dx + d(g)/dy sage: latex(f) \frac{\partial\,g}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial\,g}{\partial y}
One can switch to Pynac notation by changing
textbook_output
toFalse
:sage: Manifold.options.textbook_output=False sage: f diff(g(x, y), x) + diff(g(x, y), y) sage: latex(f) \frac{\partial}{\partial x}g\left(x, y\right) + \frac{\partial}{\partial y}g\left(x, y\right) sage: Manifold.options._reset()
If there is a clear understanding that \(u\) and \(v\) are functions of \((x,y)\), the explicit mention of the latter can be cumbersome in lengthy tensor expressions:
sage: f = X.function(function('u')(x, y) * function('v')(x, y)) sage: f u(x, y)*v(x, y)
We can switch it off by:
sage: M.options.omit_function_arguments=True sage: f u*v sage: M.options._reset()
See
GlobalOptions
for more features of these options.
- orientation()¶
Get the preferred orientation of
self
if available.An orientation of an \(n\)-dimensional topologial manifold is an atlas of charts whose transition maps are orientation preserving. A homeomorphism \(f \colon U \to V\) for open subsets \(U, V \subset \RR^n\) is called orientation preserving if for each \(x \in U\) the following map between singular homologies is the identity:
\[H_n(\RR^n, \RR^n - 0; \ZZ) \cong H_n(U, U - x; \ZZ) \xrightarrow{f_*} H_n(V, V - f(x)) \cong H_n(\RR^n, \RR^n - 0; \ZZ)\]See this link for details.
Note
Notice that for differentiable manifolds, the notion of orientability does not need homology theory at all. See
orientation()
for detailsThe trivial case corresponds to the manifold being covered by one chart. In that case, if no preferred orientation has been manually set before, one of those charts (usually the default chart) is set to the preferred orientation and returned here.
EXAMPLES:
If the manifold is covered by only one chart, it certainly admits an orientation:
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='top') sage: c.<x,y,z> = M.chart() sage: M.orientation() [Chart (M, (x, y, z))]
Usually, an orientation cannot be obtained so easily:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='top') sage: U = M.open_subset('U'); V = M.open_subset('V') sage: M.declare_union(U, V) sage: c_xy.<x,y> = U.chart(); c_uv.<u,v> = V.chart() sage: M.orientation() []
In that case, the orientation can be set by the user manually:
sage: M.set_orientation([c_xy, c_uv]) sage: M.orientation() [Chart (U, (x, y)), Chart (V, (u, v))]
The orientation on submanifolds are inherited from the ambient manifold:
sage: W = U.intersection(V, name='W') sage: W.orientation() [Chart (W, (x, y))]

(or of the subclassDiffScalarField
if the manifold is differentiable) representing the defined scalar field
EXAMPLES:
A scalar field defined by its coordinate expression in the open set’s default chart:
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological') sage: U = M.open_subset('U') sage: c_xyz.<x,y,z> = U.chart() sage: f = U.scalar_field(sin(x)*cos(y) + z, name='F'); f Scalar field F on the Open subset U of the 3-dimensional topological manifold M sage: f.display() F: U → ℝ (x, y, z) ↦ cos(y)*sin(x) + z sage: f.parent() Algebra of scalar fields on the Open subset U of the 3-dimensional topological manifold M sage: f in U.scalar_field_algebra() True

- scalar_field_algebra()¶
Return the algebra of scalar fields defined the manifold.
See
ScalarFieldAlgebra
for a complete documentation.OUTPUT:
instance of
ScalarFieldAlgebra
representing the algebra \(C^0(U)\) of all scalar fields defined on \(U\) =self
EXAMPLES:

- set_calculus_method(method)¶
Set the calculus method to be used for coordinate computations on this manifold.
The provided method is transmitted to all coordinate charts defined on the manifold.
INPUT:
method
– string specifying the method to be used for coordinate computations on this manifold; one of'SR'
: Sage’s default symbolic engine (Symbolic Ring)'sympy'
: SymPy
EXAMPLES:
Let us consider a scalar field
f
on a 2-dimensional manifold:sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart() sage: f = M.scalar_field(x^2 + cos(y)*sin(x), name='F')
By default, the coordinate expression of
f
returned byexpr()
is a Sage’s symbolic expression:sage: f.expr() x^2 + cos(y)*sin(x) sage: type(f.expr()) <type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'> sage: parent(f.expr()) Symbolic Ring sage: f.display() F: M → ℝ (x, y) ↦ x^2 + cos(y)*sin(x)
If we change the calculus method to SymPy, it becomes a SymPy object instead:
sage: M.set_calculus_method('sympy') sage: f.expr() x**2 + sin(x)*cos(y) sage: type(f.expr()) <class 'sympy.core.add.Add'> sage: parent(f.expr()) <class 'sympy.core.add.Add'> sage: f.display() F: M → ℝ (x, y) ↦ x**2 + sin(x)*cos(y)
Back to the Symbolic Ring:
sage: M.set_calculus_method('SR') sage: f.display() F: M → ℝ (x, y) ↦ x^2 + cos(y)*sin(x)
The calculus method chosen via
set_calculus_method()
applies to any chart defined subsequently on the manifold:sage: M.set_calculus_method('sympy') sage: Y.<u,v> = M.chart() # a new chart sage: Y.calculus_method() Available calculus methods (* = current): - SR (default) - sympy (*)

- set_orientation(orientation)¶
Set the preferred orientation of
self
.INPUT:
orientation
– a chart or a list of charts
Warning
It is the user’s responsibility that the orientation set here is indeed an orientation. There is no check going on in the background. See
orientation()
for the definition of an orientation.EXAMPLES:
Set an orientation on a manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='top') sage: c_xy.<x,y> = M.chart(); c_uv.<u,v> = M.chart() sage: M.set_orientation(c_uv) sage: M.orientation() [Chart (M, (u, v))]
Set an orientation in the non-trivial case:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='top') sage: U = M.open_subset('U'); V = M.open_subset('V') sage: M.declare_union(U, V) sage: c_xy.<x,y> = U.chart(); c_uv.<u,v> = V.chart() sage: M.set_orientation([c_xy, c_uv]) sage: M.orientation() [Chart (U, (x, y)), Chart (V, (u, v))]
- set_simplify_function(simplifying_func, method=None)¶
Set the simplifying function associated to a given coordinate calculus method in all the charts defined on
self
.INPUT:
simplifying_func
– either the string'default'
for restoring the default simplifying function or a functionf
of a single argumentexpr
such thatf(expr)
returns an object of the same type asexpr
(hopefully the simplified version ofexpr
), this type beingExpression
ifmethod

method
– (default:None
) string defining the calculus method for whichsimplifying_func
is provided; must be one of'SR'
: Sage’s default symbolic engine (Symbolic Ring)'sympy'
: SymPyNone
: the currently active calculus method on each chart is assumed
See also
calculus_method()
andsage.manifolds.calculus_method.CalculusMethod.simplify()
for a control of the calculus method chart by chartEXAMPLES:
Les us add two scalar fields on a 2-dimensional manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart() sage: f = M.scalar_field((x+y)^2 + cos(x)^2) sage: g = M.scalar_field(-x^2-2*x*y-y^2 + sin(x)^2) sage: f.expr() (x + y)^2 + cos(x)^2 sage: g.expr() -x^2 - 2*x*y - y^2 + sin(x)^2 sage: s = f + g
The outcome is automatically simplified:
sage: s.expr() 1
The simplification is performed thanks to the default simplifying function on chart
X
, which issimplify_chain_real()
in the present case (real manifold andSR
calculus):sage: X.calculus_method().simplify_function() is \ ....: sage.manifolds.utilities.simplify_chain_real True
Let us change it to the generic Sage function
simplify()
:sage: M.set_simplify_function(simplify) sage: X.calculus_method().simplify_function() is simplify True
simplify()
is faster, but it does not do much:sage: s = f + g sage: s.expr() (x + y)^2 - x^2 - 2*x*y - y^2 + cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2
We can replaced it by any user defined function, for instance:
sage: def simpl_trig(a): ....: return a.simplify_trig() sage: M.set_simplify_function(simpl_trig) sage: s = f + g sage: s.expr() 1
The default simplifying function is restored via:
sage: M.set_simplify_function('default')
Then we are back to:
sage: X.calculus_method().simplify_function() is \ ....: sage.manifolds.utilities.simplify_chain_real True
Thanks to the argument
method
, one can specify a simplifying function for a calculus method distinct from the current one. For instance, let us define a simplifying function for SymPy (note thattrigsimp()
is a SymPy method only):sage: def simpl_trig_sympy(a): ....: return a.trigsimp() sage: M.set_simplify_function(simpl_trig_sympy, method='sympy')
Then, it becomes active as soon as we change the calculus engine to SymPy:
sage: M.set_calculus_method('sympy') sage: X.calculus_method().simplify_function() is simpl_trig_sympy True
We have then:
sage: s = f + g sage: s.expr() 1 sage: type(s.expr()) <class 'sympy.core.numbers.One'>
- start_index()¶
Return the first value of the index range used on the manifold.
This is the parameter

EXAMPLES:
sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological') sage: M.start_index() 0 sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', structure='topological', start_index=1) sage: M.start_index() 1
- top_charts()¶
Return the list of charts defined on subsets of the current manifold that are not subcharts of charts on larger subsets.
OUTPUT:
list of charts defined on open subsets of the manifold but not on larger subsets
EXAMPLES:
Charts on a 2-dimensional manifold:
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M', structure='topological') sage: X.<x,y> = M.chart() sage: U = M.open_subset('U', coord_def={X: x>0}) sage: Y.<u,v> = U.chart() sage: M.top_charts() [Chart (M, (x, y)), Chart (U, (u, v))]
Note that the (user) atlas contains one more chart:
(U, (x,y))
, which is not a “top” chart:sage: M.atlas() [Chart (M, (x, y)), Chart (U, (x, y)), Chart (U, (u, v))]
