Tangent space

Показать описание
This video looks at the idea of a tangent space at an arbitrary point to any given manifold in which vectors exist. It shows how vectors expressed as directional derivatives form a basis for the tangent space at the given point. This basis has the same dimension as the given manifold.

I can't imagine how much work you put in to produce these but in my opinion it was definitely worth it

Thank-you for your extended Differentiable Manifolds following a question I posed. I have another query in this video and the Hadamard video. In the Hadamard expression using f̂ you have (without the indices): f̂ (x) - f̂(a) = (x - a)f̂(x). But, in accordance with Hadamard's Lemma shouldn't the expression on the right of the equality be ∂f̂/∂x?
Also, you said this is in Euclidean space and if this is the case I understood that all partial derivatives of expressions with different indices are always zero due to orthogonality. So, when you take partial derivatives in index j of terms in x coordinate i, why don't these go to zero?

So since we say that f and f^ coincide, meaning the spaces "touch", and the vectors live in the touching space, not the manifold, does that mean that the tangent space *is* the euclidian space the manifold is homeomorphic to at P? I'm not sure if that is a meaningful distinction to draw but it seems to become important when we introduce a metric. Is that metric on the R^n that defines the manifold or is that separate?

24:45 Why didn't you use the product rule to get from the 1sr line to the 2nd?

What does it mean when you say that the partial derivative of by xi has a direction? If f is scalar valued then so is the partial derivative wrt any single variable, is it not?

Please, make videos on the second and normal fundamental forms to the world sheet of strings in arbitrary background.

This is a perfect example of why the simplification of einstein's equations arrives at a flat universe.
