Smooth curves and velocity












2












$begingroup$


Let $M$ be a smooth manifold.



Let $X:M to TM$ be a global smooth vector field on $M$, and let $K$ be the support of $X$, i.e. $K=overline{{pin M: X_pnot=0}}$. Suppose $K$ a is compact subset of $M$.



Let $pnotin K$, and let $theta^p$ be the maximal integral curve of $X$ starting at $p$.




Why $theta^p$ is costant?




I know that $theta^p:U^pto M$ is a smooth map, with $U^p$ open interval in $mathbb{R}$, and for each $t in U^p$ I have $(theta^p)'(t)=X_{theta^p(t)}$.



The definition of $(theta^p)'(t)$ is $(theta^p)'(t):C^infty(M)to mathbb{R}$ defined by $(theta^p)'(t)(f)=frac{d}{dt}(fcirctheta^p)(t)$.



I know I have to use that $X_q=0$ for each $qnotin K$ but I can't see how.



For example, I don't know if $theta^p(t)$ is in $K$ or not, so when I have $(theta^p)'(t)=X_{theta^p(t)}$ I don't know if $X_{theta^p(t)}$ is $0$ or not. And, even if I succeed in showing that $(theta^p)'(t)$ is $0$ for each $tin U^p$, then I don't know how to deduce from this that $theta^p $ is in fact costant.

            $begingroup$

            $theta^p$ is constant because the constant function is a solution of the differential equation.
