Exercise 1:
Consider the smooth function f : R2 → R2 given by
f (x, y) = (ex + y, ey − x).
(1) Compute the Jacobian matrix of f at p = (x0 , y0 ) ∈ R2 .
x
e 0 1
Jp (f ) =
−1 ey0
Exercise 2:
Let M ⊂ R3 be the subset given by
M = {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 |x sin(z) − y cos(z) = 0}.
(1) Give a function f such that M = f −1 (0). f (x, y, z) = x sin z − y cos z.
(2) Compute Jp (f ) at a point p = (x0 , y0 , z0 ) ∈ R3 and show that it has a maximal rank.
We have Jp (f ) = (sin(z), − cos(z), x cos(z) + y sin(z)), since sin(z) and cos(z) do not
vanish simultaneously, we deduce that rk(Jp (f )) = 1 which is maximal.
(3) Show that M is a submanifold of R3 and give its dimension. By question 2), we
deduce that 0 is a regular value for f , hence f −1 (0) is a smooth submanifold of R3
of dimension 2.
(4) Determine precisely the tangent space Tp M , where p = (x0 , y0 , z0 ) ∈ M . We have
Tp M = Ker(dp f ), since dp f (x, y, z) = x sin(z0 ) − y cos(z0 ) + z(x0 cos(z0 ) + y0 sin(z0 )),
we get
Tp M = {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 | x sin(z0 ) − y cos(z0 ) + z(x0 cos(z0 ) + y0 sin(z0 )) = 0}.
Exercise 3:
Let M = R2 .
(1) Determine Ω1 (M ) and Ω2 (M ). Ω1 (M ) = C ∞ (M )dx + C ∞ (M )dy, and Ω2 (M ) =
C ∞ (M )dx ∧ dy.
(2) Let ω = (x + y 2 )dx + (y + x2 )dy. Calculate dω. Is ω a closed 1−form? dω =
∂(x + y 2 ) ∂(y + x2 )
dy ∧ dx + dx ∧ dy = 2(x − y)dx ∧ dy. In particular ω is not closed.
∂y ∂x
(3) Let ω 0 = x2 y 3 dx + y 2 x3 dy. Is ω 0 exact 1−form? If yes, determine f ∈ C ∞ (M )
∂(x2 y 3 ) ∂(x3 y 2 )
such that df = ω 0 . we have = 3x2 y 2 = , so ω 0 is an exact 1-form.
∂y ∂x
∂f ∂f
So we look for a function f such that = x2 y 3 and = x3 y 2 . One can take
∂x ∂y
f (x, y) = x3 y 3 /3. So df = ω 0 .
Exercise 4:
Let V be an R−vector space of dimension d, and let k ∈ {1, · · · , d}.
(1) Assume that (e1 , · · · , ed ) is a basis for V . Determine a basis for Λk V . A basis is
given by {ei1 ∧ · · · ∧ eik | ij ∈ {1, · · · , d} such that i1 < i2 < · · · < ik }.
(2) Deduce the dimension of Λk (V ). dim Λk (V ) = kd .
