b-submersions

Exercise 1 Show that the span of the vectors tex2html_wrap_inline274 at a point p in `adapted coordinates' at p is a well-defined subspace of tex2html_wrap_inline280 Show that it can be identified with the null space of the natural map tex2html_wrap_inline282 which arises by identifying a b-vector field as a vector field. This space is tex2html_wrap_inline284 the b-normal space to the smallest boundary face containing p.

Exercise 2 Show that for any interior b-map the b-differential gives a map tex2html_wrap_inline288 for each tex2html_wrap_inline290

Exercise 3 Show that an interior b-map is b-normal if and only if tex2html_wrap_inline292 is surjective for each p as a map tex2html_wrap_inline296
