How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Banach-Space Differential Calculus and Banach Manifolds: Examples

1 · Prerequisites

2 · Summary

The examples on this page work the definitions of the companion page out in the cases that the local theorems actually use. A bounded bilinear map is differentiated by expanding the increment and showing that the only surviving remainder is the cross term B(h,k), bounded by Chk and hence of order o((h,k)); the product rule for an associative multiplication and the derivative of the diagonal map, when the two input spaces agree (X=Y), follow as specialisations. A small Lipschitz perturbation of the identity is inverted globally by the contraction principle, with the Lipschitz constant (1q)1 for the inverse, and the inverse function theorem makes the inverse of class Ck when the perturbation is. The bounded projection onto a complemented summand of a Banach space is differentiated directly, with domain and target carrying their standard maximal smooth atlases: it is its own derivative everywhere, every value is regular with complemented kernel, and its level sets are the affine translates of the other summand, with tangent space that summand at every point. The same projection, when its kernel is finite dimensional, is a smooth Fredholm map whose index is the dimension of the kernel and whose local reduction has a trivial obstruction space.

The page closes with the boundary case that explains the split-kernel hypothesis of the regular value theorem. The null-sequence space c0 is closed in , and assuming the Axiom of Countable Choice it is not complemented there by the quotient-dual argument. Since is not second countable, it is not a Banach manifold under this library's convention; the example is therefore a Banach-space obstruction to a split coordinate decomposition, not a manifold counterexample. It witnesses why surjectivity of a derivative alone cannot be substituted for a complemented kernel.

The derivative of a bounded bilinear map

Example

Let X, Y, Z be real Banach spaces and let B:X×YZ be a bounded bilinear map (A bounded bilinear map between normed spaces), with the product space X×Y carrying the max norm (h,k)max=max{h,k} (The standard product norms on a finite product of normed spaces). Then B is Fréchet differentiable everywhere, with

DB(x,y)(h,k)=B(h,y)+B(x,k)((x,y),(h,k)X×Y),

the right-hand side being a bounded linear map of (h,k). In particular:

  • if an associative multiplication m(a,b)=ab on a real Banach space is a bounded bilinear map — in particular, for a real Banach algebra — then Dm(a,b)(h,k)=hb+ak;
  • if X=Y, the diagonal map d:XZ, d(x):=B(x,x), has derivative Dd(x)h=B(h,x)+B(x,h).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Real Banach spaces X,Y,Z, a bounded bilinear B:X×YZ with a constant C0 satisfying B(u,v)Cuv for all u,v, and a point (x,y)X×Y.

[L1]

Bounded bilinearity and the defining estimate B(u,v)Cuv (A bounded bilinear map between normed spaces).

[L2]

The max norm on X×Y is a norm and (h,k)max0 exactly when h0 and k0 (The standard product norms on a finite product of normed spaces); the norm is subadditive and absolutely homogeneous (A norm on a real vector space, the induced metric, and the dictionary with the metric axioms).

[L3]

Fréchet differentiability at (x,y) means a bounded linear candidate T whose remainder satisfies B(x+h,y+k)B(x,y)T(h,k)=o((h,k)max) (Fréchet derivative between Banach spaces); the operator norm bounds TuTu (The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum).

[L4]

When X=Y, the diagonal map Δ:XX×X, x(x,x), is bounded linear with Δhmax=h. Its derivative is Δ directly from [L3]: Δ(x+h)Δ(x)Δh=0, so the derivative remainder is identically zero. The chain rule for its composite with B is supplied by Chain sum product and composition rules for Banach derivatives.

1.1

Expanding with [L1], B(x+h,y+k)B(x,y)=B(h,y)+B(x,k)+B(h,k), so the remainder after subtracting the proposed linear part T(h,k):=B(h,y)+B(x,k) is exactly B(h,k).

The map T(h,k)=B(h,y)+B(x,k) is linear in (h,k) and bounded: T(h,k)Chy+CxkC(y+x)(h,k)max by [L1] and [L2].

2.1

For (h,k)(0,0) the normalised remainder is B(h,k)/(h,k)maxChk/(h,k)maxC(h,k)max, which tends to 0 as (h,k)0 by [L1] and [L2]; hence DB(x,y)=T by [L3].

For an associative algebra multiplication that is bounded bilinear, [step 2.1] with B=m gives Dm(a,b)(h,k)=m(h,b)+m(a,k)=hb+ak, using bilinearity to write m(h,b)=hb and m(a,k)=ak.

Assume X=Y. The diagonal map d(x):=B(x,x) is then the well-typed composite of x(x,x) from X to X×X with B:X×XZ; the diagonal is bounded linear with derivative h(h,h), so the chain rule [L4] and [step 2.1] give Dd(x)h=DB(x,x)(h,h)=B(h,x)+B(x,h).

The Banach inverse theorem for a small Lipschitz perturbation of the identity

Example

Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Let X be a real Banach space (Banach space) and let g:XX be Lipschitz with constant q and 0q<1 (Lipschitz map, α-Hölder map for rational 0<α1, and contraction). Then F:=IX+g is bijective and its inverse is Lipschitz with constant at most (1q)1. If in addition g is of class Ck for some k1 (C k map between Banach spaces), then F is a global Ck diffeomorphism of X onto X.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, a real Banach space X, a Lipschitz map g:XX with constant q[0,1), and F:=IX+g.

[L1]

Lipschitz with constant q: g(u)g(v)quv for all u,v (Lipschitz map, α-Hölder map for rational 0<α1, and contraction).

[L2]

A contraction of a nonempty complete metric space has a unique fixed point; a Banach space is a nonempty complete metric space (A contraction of a nonempty complete metric space into itself has exactly one fixed point, the limit of the iterates from any starting point, Banach space).

[L3]

Neumann: R<1 implies IR invertible with (IR)1(1R)1 (Neumann series and small perturbations of bounded inverses).

[L4]

A derivative is a norm limit of difference quotients, so a global Lipschitz constant q bounds the derivative by q wherever it exists (Fréchet derivative between Banach spaces, The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum).

1.1

Fix yX and put Ty(x):=yg(x). Then Ty(x)Ty(x)=g(x)g(x)qxx by [L1], so Ty is a contraction of the nonempty complete metric space X; by [L2] it has exactly one fixed point, and x=Ty(x) is equivalent to F(x)=y.

2.1

Consequently F is bijective with F1(y) the unique fixed point of Ty for each y. If xi:=F1(yi) for i=1,2, then x1x2=(y1y2)(g(x1)g(x2))y1y2+qx1x2, hence F1(y1)F1(y2)(1q)1y1y2 because 1q>0.

2.2

Now assume g is of class Ck with k1; then F is of class Ck and DF(x)=IX+Dg(x) by [L5]. The derivative of g satisfies Dg(x)q by [L4], so Dg(x)q<1 and [L3] makes DF(x)=IX(Dg(x)) invertible with DF(x)1(1q)1 at every x.

3.1

By the inverse function theorem [L5] applied at each x, and using that F is a bijection by [step 2.1], the global inverse F1 agrees near each y with the Ck local inverse of F; being locally of class Ck, F1 is of class Ck. Hence F is a global Ck diffeomorphism.

A regular level set in a Banach space

Example

Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Let K and Y be real Banach spaces (Banach space) and let X=KY be their topological direct sum, with bounded coordinate projections (A complemented closed subspace of a normed space), where the direct sum is second countable (Second countability: an at most countable basis for the topology) — for instance this holds whenever K and Y are second countable, since the direct sum is a finite product (Assuming countable choice, a countable product of second countable spaces is second countable). Equip X and Y with their standard maximal C atlases, namely the maximal atlases containing their global identity charts. Then X and Y are C Banach manifolds in the sense of Countable base Banach manifold and smooth map, and the projection p:XY, p(k+y):=y, has every yY as a regular value in the sense of the regular value theorem (Regular value theorem for Banach manifolds): p is smooth — a bounded linear map equals its own derivative everywhere — and at every point of p1(y) its derivative is onto with complemented kernel. Each level set p1(y) is the affine split submanifold

p1(y)=K+y={k+y:kK}

of X, and its tangent space at every point is K.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Real Banach spaces K,Y with second countable topological direct sum X=KY with bounded projections; the standard maximal smooth atlases on X and Y; and a point yY.

[L1]

In a topological direct sum X=KY every x has a unique decomposition x=k+y with kK, yY, and the coordinate maps p(x)=y, q(x)=k are bounded linear operators; p is the projection onto Y along K (A complemented closed subspace of a normed space).

[L2]

A bounded linear operator T is differentiable everywhere with DT(x)=T, and the regular value theorem applies to a smooth map whose derivative at every point of a level set is onto with complemented kernel when the domain carries the stated maximal atlas (Fréchet derivative between Banach spaces, Regular value theorem for Banach manifolds).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

By [L1] the projection p is bounded linear, so Dp(x)=p for every x by [L2]; it is surjective because p(k+y)=y for every y, and its kernel is kerp={k+0:kK}=K (Linear subspace of a vector space), which is complemented in X by the given direct sum.

L1L2
2.1

For every yY one has p(k+y)=y for all kK, and conversely p(x)=y forces x=(xy)+y with xykerp=K; hence p1(y)=K+y, a translate of the subspace K.

step 1.1L1
3.1

Since [step 1.1] verifies the hypotheses of the regular value theorem at every point of every level set, that theorem gives that each p1(y) is a split smooth submanifold of X with Txp1(y)=kerDp(x)=K for all xp1(y); by [step 2.1] this submanifold is the affine set K+y.

step 1.1step 2.1L2

Every yY is therefore a regular value with the stated affine fibre and tangent space, which is the example's claim.

A projection with finite-dimensional kernel is Fredholm

Example

Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Let N and Y be real Banach spaces with dimN< (Banach space), and let X=NY be their topological direct sum with bounded projections (A complemented closed subspace of a normed space), where the direct sum is second countable (Second countability: an at most countable basis for the topology) — for instance this holds whenever N and Y are second countable (Assuming countable choice, a countable product of second countable spaces is second countable). Then X and Y are C Banach manifolds in the sense of Countable base Banach manifold and smooth map, and the projection p:XY onto Y along N is a smooth Fredholm map (Fredholm map between Banach manifolds) of index dimN, and its local finite-dimensional reduction (Local finite-dimensional reduction for a Fredholm map) has zero obstruction space: in suitable coordinates it is the projection (u,v)(u,0) onto the range factor of the splitting ranpC, with the complement coordinate set to zero.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Real Banach spaces N,Y with dimN< and second countable topological direct sum X=NY with bounded projections, and the projection p:XY onto the second factor.

[L1]

In a topological direct sum X=NY every x decomposes uniquely as x=n+y and the coordinates n=q(x), y=p(x) are bounded linear; here kerp=N is finite dimensional by hypothesis and ranp=Y (A complemented closed subspace of a normed space).

[L2]

A bounded linear map is differentiable everywhere with derivative itself, and is smooth of class C as a map of Banach manifolds (Fréchet derivative between Banach spaces, C k map between Banach spaces).

[L3]

Fredholm operator and index: finite-dimensional kernel, closed range and finite-dimensional cokernel, index dimkerdimcoker (Fredholm operator cokernel and index); the local finite-dimensional reduction produces coordinates in which a Fredholm map is (u,v)(u,g(u,v)) with u ranging over an open subset of the range, v over an open subset of the finite-dimensional kernel, and g taking values in a finite-dimensional complement of the range (Local finite-dimensional reduction for a Fredholm map).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

By [L1] the map p is bounded linear with kerp=N finite dimensional, ranp=Y closed, and cokerp=Y/Y={0} finite dimensional; hence p is Fredholm at every point with index dimN0=dimN by [L3].

2.1

The map p is smooth and Dp(x)=p for every x by [L2], so p is a smooth Fredholm map of index dimN by [step 1.1].

For the reduction, take the splitting X=kerpY and the range complement C={0}; the normal form of [L3] reads (u,v)(u,g(u,v)) with g valued in the zero space, so g0 and the obstruction space is trivial; the coordinates are those of the direct sum itself, and no nontrivial correction term is produced.

Thus p is a smooth Fredholm map of index dimN whose local reduction has zero obstruction space, as claimed.

A closed subspace of ell-infinity that is not complemented

Statement refuted

Assuming the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)), the space c0 is a closed subspace of that is not complemented in it: there is no bounded linear projection of onto c0. Consequently no decomposition =c0E1 into closed subspaces exists, so the split-chart condition of Split Banach submanifold fails for the pair (,c0) at the identity chart. The ambient is not second countable and hence is not a Banach manifold in the library's sense (Countable base Banach manifold and smooth map), so this counterexample separates closedness from complementedness at the level of Banach spaces; the sentence about c0 in Split Banach submanifold records the same qualification.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The sequence spaces c0 with the sup norm (The sequence spaces c_0 and ell-infinity), the identity chart of , and the assumed ACω.

[F1]

The sup-normed space (K) is Banach for K{R,C}. Indeed, for a sup-norm Cauchy sequence (x(m)), every coordinate sequence (xn(m))m is Cauchy and has a unique scalar limit xn by real or complex completeness (The reals are complete, The complex plane is complete, and convergence is equivalent to convergence of real and imaginary parts); Replacement collects these unique limits into a sequence x (The Axiom Schema of Replacement: for each formula φ, if φ defines a class function on A then its image on A is a set). Given ε>0, choose M so that x(m)x(k)<ε/2 for m,kM; fixing mM and passing k coordinatewise gives xn(m)xnε/2 for every n, so x is bounded and x(m)xε/2. Thus every Cauchy sequence converges in , as required by Banach space. The subspace c0 is closed in (c_0 is a closed subspace of ell-infinity) and therefore Banach by the closed-subspace theorem (A closed subspace of a Banach space is Banach); this also agrees with the direct result Real and complex c0 are Banach.

[L1]

The identity chart of covers and has trivial transition maps, so the split-chart condition of Split Banach submanifold is meaningful for the pair (,c0): it asks for a decomposition =E0E1 into closed subspaces with bounded coordinate projections such that, in the chart, Uc0=U(E0{0}). The space is not second countable — the uncountably many 0-1 sequences are pairwise at sup-distance 1, so every dense subset is uncountable — hence is not a Banach manifold in the library's sense (Countable base Banach manifold and smooth map, Second countability: an at most countable basis for the topology).

[L2]

A bounded linear projection P of onto c0 fixes every element of c0, and for each n the map xxn(Px)n is a bounded linear functional on that annihilates c0, hence induces a bounded linear functional on the quotient Q=/c0 of norm at most 1+P (A bounded linear operator between normed spaces, The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum, A complemented closed subspace of a normed space, The quotient vector space (X/M), its cosets, and the quotient map (q:X\to X/M), The quotient seminorm (|x+M|{X/M}=\inf{m\in M}|x+m|=\operatorname{dist}(x,M)), The dual space X^* of a normed space and its dual norm).

[L4]

Every nonempty subset of N has a least element (The well-ordering principle).

[L5]

Under ACω, a countable union of countable sets is countable (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), Countable unions of at most countable sets, assuming ACω).

[L6]

Cosets of the quotient Q=/c0, the quotient map, the quotient seminorm x+c0Q=dist(x,c0), and its being a norm because c0 is closed (The quotient vector space (X/M), its cosets, and the quotient map (q:X\to X/M), The quotient seminorm (|x+M|{X/M}=\inf{m\in M}|x+m|=\operatorname{dist}(x,M)), The quotient seminorm is a norm exactly when the subspace is closed).

[L7]

A closed subspace is complemented exactly when it is the range of a bounded linear projection (A closed subspace is complemented exactly when it is the range of a bounded projection, A complemented closed subspace of a normed space).

[L8]

Dual and operator bounds: g(v)gv for g in the dual, and PxPx for a bounded linear P (The dual space X^* of a normed space and its dual norm, The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum, A bounded linear operator between normed spaces).

Counterexample

technique · contradiction
1.1

c0 is closed in and is a Banach space for the sup norm by [F1]; is not second countable and hence is not a Banach manifold in the library's sense, while the identity chart still makes the split-chart condition meaningful for the pair (,c0) by [L1]. [F1, L1] 1.2 Suppose for contradiction that c0 is complemented in : by [L7] fix a bounded linear projection P:c0 of onto c0, so that Px=x for every xc0. [assume-contra, L7] 1.3 Fix an enumeration (qn) of the rationals; for every irrational x and every k1 let nk(x) be the least index n not already used among n1(x),,nk1(x) with qn(x1k,x+1k), and put Ax:={nk(x):k1}. [L3, L4, construct] 2.1 Each Ax is infinite. If xy, choose K so large that the intervals (x1k,x+1k) and (y1,y+1) are disjoint whenever k,K. Any common index of Ax and Ay must therefore occur among the first K1 choices for at least one of x,y, a finite set; hence AxAy is finite. It follows that xAx is injective and {Ax} is uncountable by [L3]. [step 1.3, L3, algebra] 3.1 Let ux be the indicator sequence of Ax and let Q:=/c0 carry the quotient norm; then ux and [ux]0 because uxc0. For distinct x1,,xm, remove the finite union of all pairwise intersections from their supports. The resulting indicators have disjoint supports and differ from the uxj by finitely supported, hence c0, sequences. Therefore, for scalars c1,,cm, the quotient norm of jcj[uxj] equals maxjcj: the disjoint representative gives the upper bound, and each remaining infinite support attains the corresponding coefficient infinitely often, giving the lower bound against every c0 perturbation. [step 1.3, step 2.1, F1, L6, algebra] 4.1 For every gQ and every real r>0 the set {x:g([ux])r} is finite: for distinct points x1,,xm in it choose unimodular scalars cj with cjg([uxj])=g([uxj]), so that by [step 3.1] and [L8] one has mrjg([uxj])=g(jcj[uxj])gjcj[uxj]Q=g and hence mg/r. [step 3.1, L8, choose, algebra] 5.1 No countable family in Q separates the points of Q: given (gn), the set of x with gn([ux])0 for some n is the countable union over the pairs (n,k) of the finite sets of [step 4.1] with r=1k, hence countable by [L5]; since {Ax} is uncountable by [step 2.1], some x lies outside it, and then the nonzero vector [ux] is annihilated by every gn. [step 4.1, step 2.1, L5] 6.1 Let P be the projection assumed in step 1.2 and put ψn(x+c0):=xn(Px)n. By [L2] each ψn is a well-defined bounded linear functional on Q — well-defined because P fixes every element of c0 — with ψn1+P by [L8], and if ψn(x+c0)=0 for all n then (xPx)n=0 for all n, so x=Pxc0. The countably many functionals ψn would therefore be a countable separating family in Q, contradicting [step 5.1]. [step 1.2, step 5.1, L2, L6, L8] 7.1 This contradiction with [step 5.1] shows that no bounded linear projection of onto c0 exists; by [L7] c0 is not complemented in , although it is closed there by [step 1.1], and consequently the identity chart admits no split-chart decomposition of c0, as claimed.

Remarks

  • Where the countability enters. The proof only uses ACω once, in [step 5.1], to make the union of the finitely-many-violators sets countable. The construction of the uncountable family {Ax} and the quotient-norm computation are choice-free beyond the fixed enumeration of the rationals.

  • The manifold reading. The identity chart makes (,c0) an instance of the split-chart condition, but is not second countable, so the pair is not a Banach manifold. The library's Split Banach submanifold therefore treats this example as evidence that closedness does not imply splitness in the Banach-space setting, and the split-submanifold definition itself is stated only for second countable ambient manifolds.
