Global stable manifold

714 Views Asked by At

In Brin Stuck, the following Corollary 5.6.6 is left as an exercise, that of which I'm not sure on how to prove. The stable-manifold theorem states that there exists $\epsilon >0$ small enough such that local stable manifolds $W^s_\epsilon(x) = \{ y \in M: d(f^n(x), f^n(y)) < \epsilon \quad \forall n \geq 0\}$ is a $C^1$ embedded manifold for every $x \in \Lambda$ in the hyperbolic set. Now we're interesting in the global stable manifold (defined below). Proposition 5.6.5 is just a set theoretic result, while the Corollary that follows seems to be a differential geometry question. Note that there is a typo here, authors should have written that $W^s(x)$ is an immersed $C^1$ submanifold (not embedded). I'm trying to find a prove for this claim. As a matter of fact, one can see that $W^s(x)$ is defined as a increasing union of embedded $C^1$-manifolds ! I posted a question here where I asked whether or not an increasing sequence of embedded submanifold is still an embedded submanifold. That is not the case, but at the time I thought that the stable manifold was to be a embedded submanifold (following the typo). Therefore, the question remains open as to whether or not such an increasing sequence can end up being an immersed submanifold !

Maybe that's not the way to do it...

Anyway, thanks for the help !
