What is $g$ in Guillemin and Pollack's Differential Topology?

157 Views Asked by At

Is it canonical immersion when it appears on Page 15, and cannonical submersion on Page 20? I never really see where it is defined, except for Page 15:

"Define $G$ s that $g = G \circ$ (canonical immersion)" - which does not really defined $g$ neither.

In both case, is $g$ an open map?

Thank you~
