In differential geometry, the Kosmann lift,[1][2] named after Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach, of a vector field X {\displaystyle X\,} on a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) {\displaystyle (M,g)\,} is the canonical projection X K {\displaystyle X_{K}\,} on the orthonormal frame bundle of its natural lift X ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {X}}\,} defined on the bundle of linear frames.[3]
Generalisations exist for any given reductive G-structure.
In general, given a subbundle Q ⊂ E {\displaystyle Q\subset E\,} of a fiber bundle π E : E → M {\displaystyle \pi _{E}\colon E\to M\,} over M {\displaystyle M} and a vector field Z {\displaystyle Z\,} on E {\displaystyle E} , its restriction Z | Q {\displaystyle Z\vert _{Q}\,} to Q {\displaystyle Q} is a vector field "along" Q {\displaystyle Q} not on (i.e., tangent to) Q {\displaystyle Q} . If one denotes by i Q : Q ↪ E {\displaystyle i_{Q}\colon Q\hookrightarrow E} the canonical embedding, then Z | Q {\displaystyle Z\vert _{Q}\,} is a section of the pullback bundle i Q ∗ ( T E ) → Q {\displaystyle i_{Q}^{\ast }(TE)\to Q\,} , where
and τ E : T E → E {\displaystyle \tau _{E}\colon TE\to E\,} is the tangent bundle of the fiber bundle E {\displaystyle E} . Let us assume that we are given a Kosmann decomposition of the pullback bundle i Q ∗ ( T E ) → Q {\displaystyle i_{Q}^{\ast }(TE)\to Q\,} , such that
i.e., at each q ∈ Q {\displaystyle q\in Q} one has T q E = T q Q ⊕ M u , {\displaystyle T_{q}E=T_{q}Q\oplus {\mathcal {M}}_{u}\,,} where M u {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}_{u}} is a vector subspace of T q E {\displaystyle T_{q}E\,} and we assume M ( Q ) → Q {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}(Q)\to Q\,} to be a vector bundle over Q {\displaystyle Q} , called the transversal bundle of the Kosmann decomposition. It follows that the restriction Z | Q {\displaystyle Z\vert _{Q}\,} to Q {\displaystyle Q} splits into a tangent vector field Z K {\displaystyle Z_{K}\,} on Q {\displaystyle Q} and a transverse vector field Z G , {\displaystyle Z_{G},\,} being a section of the vector bundle M ( Q ) → Q . {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}(Q)\to Q.\,}
Let F S O ( M ) → M {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)\to M} be the oriented orthonormal frame bundle of an oriented n {\displaystyle n} -dimensional Riemannian manifold M {\displaystyle M} with given metric g {\displaystyle g\,} . This is a principal S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)\,} -subbundle of F M {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} M\,} , the tangent frame bundle of linear frames over M {\displaystyle M} with structure group G L ( n , R ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {G} \mathrm {L} }(n,\mathbb {R} )\,} . By definition, one may say that we are given with a classical reductive S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)\,} -structure. The special orthogonal group S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)\,} is a reductive Lie subgroup of G L ( n , R ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {G} \mathrm {L} }(n,\mathbb {R} )\,} . In fact, there exists a direct sum decomposition g l ( n ) = s o ( n ) ⊕ m {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {gl}}(n)={\mathfrak {so}}(n)\oplus {\mathfrak {m}}\,} , where g l ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {gl}}(n)\,} is the Lie algebra of G L ( n , R ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {G} \mathrm {L} }(n,\mathbb {R} )\,} , s o ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {so}}(n)\,} is the Lie algebra of S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)\,} , and m {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {m}}\,} is the A d S O {\displaystyle \mathrm {Ad} _{\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }\,} -invariant vector subspace of symmetric matrices, i.e. A d a m ⊂ m {\displaystyle \mathrm {Ad} _{a}{\mathfrak {m}}\subset {\mathfrak {m}}\,} for all a ∈ S O ( n ) . {\displaystyle a\in {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)\,.}
Let i F S O ( M ) : F S O ( M ) ↪ F M {\displaystyle i_{\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)}\colon \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)\hookrightarrow \mathrm {F} M} be the canonical embedding.
One then can prove that there exists a canonical Kosmann decomposition of the pullback bundle i F S O ( M ) ∗ ( T F M ) → F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle i_{\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)}^{\ast }(T\mathrm {F} M)\to \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} such that
i.e., at each u ∈ F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle u\in \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} one has T u F M = T u F S O ( M ) ⊕ M u , {\displaystyle T_{u}\mathrm {F} M=T_{u}\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)\oplus {\mathcal {M}}_{u}\,,} M u {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}_{u}} being the fiber over u {\displaystyle u} of the subbundle M ( F S O ( M ) ) → F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}(\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M))\to \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} of i F S O ( M ) ∗ ( V F M ) → F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle i_{\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)}^{\ast }(V\mathrm {F} M)\to \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} . Here, V F M {\displaystyle V\mathrm {F} M\,} is the vertical subbundle of T F M {\displaystyle T\mathrm {F} M\,} and at each u ∈ F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle u\in \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} the fiber M u {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}_{u}} is isomorphic to the vector space of symmetric matrices m {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {m}}} .
From the above canonical and equivariant decomposition, it follows that the restriction Z | F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle Z\vert _{\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)}} of an G L ( n , R ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {G} \mathrm {L} }(n,\mathbb {R} )} -invariant vector field Z {\displaystyle Z\,} on F M {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} M} to F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} splits into a S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)} -invariant vector field Z K {\displaystyle Z_{K}\,} on F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} , called the Kosmann vector field associated with Z {\displaystyle Z\,} , and a transverse vector field Z G {\displaystyle Z_{G}\,} .
In particular, for a generic vector field X {\displaystyle X\,} on the base manifold ( M , g ) {\displaystyle (M,g)\,} , it follows that the restriction X ^ | F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle {\hat {X}}\vert _{\mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)}\,} to F S O ( M ) → M {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)\to M} of its natural lift X ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {X}}\,} onto F M → M {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} M\to M} splits into a S O ( n ) {\displaystyle {\mathrm {S} \mathrm {O} }(n)} -invariant vector field X K {\displaystyle X_{K}\,} on F S O ( M ) {\displaystyle \mathrm {F} _{SO}(M)} , called the Kosmann lift of X {\displaystyle X\,} , and a transverse vector field X G {\displaystyle X_{G}\,} .
