Ttis designed as a beginning graduate-level textbook and presumes ‘good undergraduate training in algebra and analysis plus some knowledge of point set topology, covering spaces, and the fundamental group. It is also intended for use as a reference book since it includes a numberof items ‘which are difficult to ferret out ofthe literature, in particular, thecompleteand self-contained proofs of the fundamental theorems of Hodge and de Rham. ‘The core material it contained in Chapters 1, 2, and 4, This includes differentiable manifolds, tangent vectors, submanifolds, implicit function theorems, vector fields, distributions and the Frobenius theorem, differential forms, integration, Stokes’ theorem, and de Rham cohomology. Chapter 3 treats the foundations of Lie group theory, including the relationship between Lic groups and their Lie algebras, the exponential ‘map, the adjoint representation, and the closed subgroup theorem. Many xamples are given, and many properties of the classical groups are derived. ‘The chapter concludes with a discussion of homogeneous manifolds. ‘The standard reference for Lie group theory for over two decades has been Chovalley's Theory of Lie Groups, to which T am greatly indebted. For the de Rham theorem, which is the main goal of Chapter 5, axiomatic sheaf cohomology theory is developed. In addition to a proof of the strong form of the de Rham theorem—the de Rham homomorphism given by integration isa ring isomorphism from the de Rham cohomology ring to the B means that fis of the set into the set B. When describing a mapping by describing its effect on individual ‘emeots, we use the special arrow +7. thus “the mapping mi+(m) of {nto B” means that fis a mapping of the et A into the set B taking the element ‘mof A into the element f(m) of B.

Now ¥ is maximal by construction, and so Fis differentiable structure containing F. Clearly ¥ is the unique such structure, ‘We mention two other fundamental types of differentiable structures on locally Euctidean spacey, types that we ahall not treat in this text, namely, the structure of class C= and the complex analytic structure. “For differentiable structure of class C*, one requires that the compositions in (©) are locally given by convergent power series, For a complex analytic structure on 8 2d-dimensional locally Euclidean space, one requires that the ‘coordinate systems have range in complex dspace C* and overlap holo- morphically. ‘A d-dimensional differentiable manifold of class C* (imilatty C* or complex analytic) is a pair (M,F) consisting of a ¢-dimensional, second countable, locally Euclidean space M together with a differentiable structure F of class C*, We shall usually denote the differentiable manifold (M,#) simply by Af, with the understanding that when we speak of the “differentiable manifold M” we are considering the locally Euclidean space M with some siven differentiable structure. Our attention will be restricted solely to the case of class C°, 40 by difereniable we will always mean diferentiable ‘of class C°. We also use the terminology smooth to indicate diferentiablity ‘of class C°, We often refer to differentiable manifolds simply as manifolds, with differentiabtity of class C always implicitly assumed. A manifold can be viewed as a triple consisting of an underlying point set, a second countable locally Euclidean topology for this set, and a diferentible structure. If is a set, by a manifold structure on X we shall mean a choice of both a second countable locally Euclidean topology for X and a difer- entiable structure. Even though we shall restrict our attention to the C= case, many of our theorems do, however, have C* versions for k < co, which are ementally ‘20 more complicated than the ones we shall obtain. They simply require that one keep track of degrees of difereatiabilty, for differentiating a C* function may only yield a function of class C™* if 1 < k < oo. Unleat we indicate otherwise, we shall aluaye tee M and N to denote differentiable manifolds, and M* will indicate thet M is © manifold of dimension d. 1.5 Examples (@) The standard diferentiable structure on Euclidean space Ris obtained by taking F to be the maximal collection (with respect to 1.4(b)) containing (F,), where /: RA —~ Ris the identity map. o © © o © Difjerenniaoie stanyoms + Let ¥ be a finite dimensional real vector space.

It is evident that manifolds are regular topological spaces and their normality follows easily from this and the paracompactness. We shal leave the proof that manifolds are normal as an enercie.

This definition of tangent vector Tangent Vectors and Diferentials 13 is not suitable in the C¥ ease for 1 < k < oo. (We will discuss the C* case further in 1.21.) We give this definition of tangent vector for several reasons. ‘One reason is that itis intrinsic; that is, it does not depend on coordinate systems.

That {eim),b(r0) x 2 (and hence part (1) holds) follows from an application of the fundamental existence theorem (11, THEOREM 4, p. 28) to the system 1.47(5).
