relationship between $du$ and $\partial u$ on a surface patch $\sigma$ and its reparameterization $\tilde\sigma$

257 Views Asked by At

The question itself (Pressey, Elementary Differential Geometry, Exercise 6.1.4) has been posted before, but the previous question only dealt with the reparameterization portion and not the question itself.

Suppose that a surface patch $\tilde{\sigma}(\tilde u,\tilde v)$ is a reparametrization of a surface patch $\sigma (u,v)$.

Let $$\tilde E d\tilde u^2+ 2\tilde F d\tilde ud\tilde v+\tilde G d\tilde v^2$$ $$Edu^2+2Fdudv+Gdv^2$$ be their first fundamental form.

Show that $$du=\frac{\partial u}{\partial \tilde u}d\tilde u+\frac{\partial u}{\partial \tilde v}d\tilde v$$

$$dv=\frac{\partial v}{\partial \tilde u}d\tilde u+\frac{\partial v}{\partial \tilde v}d\tilde v$$


I have gotten as far to show that $\tilde{E}d\tilde u^2+2\tilde Fd\tilde u\tilde v+\tilde Gd\tilde v^2=E\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial\tilde u}d\tilde u+\frac{\partial u}{\partial\tilde v}d\tilde v\right)^2+2F\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial\tilde u}d\tilde u+\frac{\partial u}{\partial\tilde v}d\tilde v\right)\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial\tilde u}d\tilde u+\frac{\partial v}{\partial\tilde v}d\tilde v\right)+G\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial\tilde u}d\tilde u+\frac{\partial v}{\partial\tilde v}d\tilde v\right)^2$

I'm not sure where to go from here, and any help would be appreciated.

The fundamental form is a red herring; this is just about the algebraic relationship between forms and tangent vectors.

In particular, since $\frac{\partial}{\partial \bar{u}}$ and $\frac{\partial}{\partial \bar{v}}$ are a basis for the tangent space, a differential form is completely determined by its products with these two tangent vectors.

E.g. if we take the first equation and apply these differential forms:

$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial \bar{u}} \cdot \mathrm{d}u = \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}}$$ $$ \frac{\partial}{\partial \bar{u}} \cdot \left( \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \mathrm{d} \bar{u} + \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \mathrm{d} \bar{v} \right) = \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \frac{\partial \bar{u}}{\partial \bar{u}} + \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \frac{\partial \bar{v}}{\partial \bar{u}} = \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \cdot 1 + \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \cdot 0 $$ and so both sides of the equation reduce to the same scalar field. This is also true when applying $\frac{\partial}{\partial \bar{v}}$. Since both sides give the same products, they must be equal forms: $$ \mathrm{d}u = \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \mathrm{d} \bar{u} + \frac{\partial u}{\partial \bar{u}} \mathrm{d} \bar{v} $$

Note that it doesn't even matter that $(u,v)$ is a coordinate system; all that matters in the above calculation is that $u$ is a scalar field and that $(\bar{u}, \bar{v})$ is a coordinate system.
