Definition of smooth maps between manifolds in $mathbb{R}^n$












2












$begingroup$


I am currently studying smooth manifold using Jack Lee's introduction to smooth manifold.



In the book, given two manifolds $M in mathbb{R}^n$, $N in mathbb{R}^m$with smooth structures (maximal smooth atlas in which any two charts are compatible), a map between them is called smooth if its coordinate representation is smooth (in the usual sense from an open set in $mathbb{R}^n$).



There's also a definition of smooth map between a subset $A in mathbb{R}^n$, that is, if $f$ is a map from $A$ to $mathbb{R}^m$ such that for every point $x in A$, there exists an open neighborhood $U$ of $x$ and a smooth map from $U$ (in the usual sense) to $mathbb{R}^m$ such that $F|_{U cap A} = f$, then $f$ is said to be a smooth map from $A$ to $mathbb{R}^m$. In fact if I remember correctly this is the definition that Alan Pollack uses in his "differential topology".



Now, I remember my professor made a remark that is along the line of, if a manifold sits in $mathbb{R}^n$, the two notion of smoothness is equivalent. I can see that the second definition implies the first, however I don't see how the 1st definition implies the second. I have tried to come up with such an open neighborhood and an extension of such a map F, I don't think I'm supposed to construct them explicitly, I have been thinking of using inverse function theorem some how but I still haven't quite figure out how, any hint would be appreciated.



thank you!

          If your manifold is an embedded submanifold of $mathbb R^n$, then the two notions are equivalent, but you'll probably need to use some submanifold theory to prove it. See Lemma 5.34 (and the paragraph preceding it) in my smooth manifolds book (2nd ed.).
