Reduced bundles and global sections of associated bundle












1












$begingroup$


I am following Kobayashi and Nomizu's book Foundations of differential geometry volume 1 (page no $57$) Proposition 5.6.




The structure group of a principal bundle $P(M,G)$ is reducible to a closed subgroup $H$ of $G$ if and only if the associated bundle $E=(Ptimes G/H)/Grightarrow M$ has a global section. (Here we use the notation $Q(M,H)$ for the reduced bundle.)




One direction I was able to understand. Given that $G$ is reducible to $H$, I was able to produce a global section for $Erightarrow M$.



For the other direction, I was able to understand everything except that I could not prove $Q$ is an immersed submanifold.



If the following result is true, then I am done.




Is the inverse image of an immersed submanifold an immersed submanifold under smooth submersion?




I know the above result is true for embedded submanifold (Using transversality) but I am not sure about the result for immersed submanifold.

          Yes - use that an immersion is locally an embedding to reduce to the case of an embedded submanifold.



          Added:



          Let $U$ be the immersed submanifold with preimage $V$. Cover $U$ by embedded submanifolds $U_i$. The preimages $V_i$ are embedded and cover $V$, so $V$ is an immersion.

            @ADITTYACHAUDHURI Here by "union of embedded submanifolds" I just mean it is a union of open subsets which are embedded. That is, given $M to N$ and $U_i$ covering $M$ such that $U_i to N$ are embeddings, I am saying "$M$ is a union of embedded manifolds". But this is just the condition of locally being an embedding.

          @ Ben Thanks! Actually I never came across about the result that the union of embedded submanifiolds is an immersed submanifold. Since there are examples where union of submanifolds is not a submanifold I never thought in that direction.Can you please refer me a literature (or give a brief outline ) for the proof of the fact that union of embedded submanifolds is an immersed submanifold? I could not see directly that local embedding theorem is equivalent to "This Result". Sorry in advance if my remark is stupid!

          @ADITTYACHAUDHURI Here by "union of embedded submanifolds" I just mean it is a union of open subsets which are embedded. That is, given $M to N$ and $U_i$ covering $M$ such that $U_i to N$ are embeddings, I am saying "$M$ is a union of embedded manifolds". But this is just the condition of locally being an embedding.
