Regular value and transversal intersection of submanifolds

142 Views Asked by At

I'm not sure how to solve the following exercise.

Let $M,N$ be smooth manifolds and $f:M\to N$ smooth. Show that $y\in N$ is a regular value of $f$ iff the submanifolds $G(f) = \{(x,f(x))\in M\times N : x\in M\}$ and $H=M\times\{y\}$ intersect transversally in $M\times N$

I know that $y\in N$ is regular if for all $x\in f^{-1}(y)\subset M$ it holds that $D_xf : T_xM \to T_yN$ is surjective and that the submanifolds intersect transverse if $\forall z \in G(f) \cap H,\, T_z (M\times N) = T_z G(f) + T_z H$

Thanks for your help.

$(\implies)$ Suppose that $y\in N$ is a regular value. So, we have that for all $x \in f^{-1}(y)$, $D_xf(T_x M) = T_{y}N$. Recall that we can identify $T_{(x, y)}(M \times N)$ with $T_xM \oplus T_y N$. Observe that $G(f) \cap H = f^{-1}(y)\times \{y\}$. Now, for any $x \in f^{-1}(y)$, we have

$$ T_{(x,y)}G(f) = \{(v, D_xf(v)) \in T_xM \oplus T_yN : v \in T_xM\} $$

and,

$$ T_{(x,y)}H = \{(u, 0) : u \in T_xM\}. $$

Now, let $(v', w') \in T_xM \oplus T_yN$. Since, $D_xf$ is surjective, we may choose $v \in T_xM$ such that $D_xf(v) = w'$. So, we can write

$$ (v', w') = (v, D_xf(v)) + (v'-v, 0). $$

So,

$$ T_{(x,y)}(M \times N) = T_xM \oplus T_yN = T_{(x,y)}G(f) + T_{(x,y)}H. $$

Therefore, $G(f)$ and $H$ are transverse to each other.

$(\impliedby)$ To prove the converse, use the decomposition

$$ T_{(x,y)}(M \times N) = T_{(x,y)}G(f) + T_{(x,y)}H $$

to find a preimage of $w \in T_yN$ under $D_xf: T_xM \to T_yN$ (basically, you need to reverse the steps above), which shows that $D_xf$ is surjective for all $x \in f^{-1}(y)$. So $y$ is a regular value.
