Smooth manifoldTangent bundle

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Each smooth manifold canonically determines its tangent bundle.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The cotangent bundle is the fiberwise dual of the tangent bundle.
