May 14, 2019 at 6:42 comment added Jan Vysoky Thank you. In the end, I have kind of combined your approach with the one in the lecture notes I have posted (I mostly tried to avoid tubular neighborhoods as I am not completely unfailing in their understanding :)). I learned about compact exhaustions along the way (nice thing!). This is where I have to stop and return to the original paper :) Thank you for your help.
May 13, 2019 at 6:57 comment added Pavel P.S. Have a look at the proof of the tubular neighborhood theorem (Theorem 10.19) in J.M.Lee's Introduction to smooth manifolds. Perhaps a similar idea can be used to prove the proposition above without using exhaustions.
May 13, 2019 at 6:19 comment added Pavel Yes, the result is definitively not new and the compact exhaustion is a standard trick. It probably can not be done much better.
May 13, 2019 at 5:46 comment added Jan Vysoky I have found a reference with a very similar ideas here: staff.ustc.edu.cn/~wangzuoq/Courses/18F-Manifolds/Notes/…

May 11, 2019 at 9:24 comment added Jan Vysoky Wow, thanks for the updated version. I won't get to it during the weekend, but I will check it as soon as possible.

non-compact version holds too
May 10, 2019 at 21:36 comment added Jan Vysoky Yeah, I also think it is not important, that is why added this separately. However, it is entirely possible that the statement holds only for the particular $\mathcal{V}$ they are considering (although I don't think so), so it does not hold in full generality...
May 10, 2019 at 21:20 comment added Pavel Btw., I think that 3) is irrelevant because you can always shrink E to a tubular neighborhood $T$of $\nu(N)$ and set $F=\nu^{-1}(T)$.

May 10, 2019 at 21:00 comment added Pavel Ah, I see, I misunderstood "closed".
May 10, 2019 at 20:57 comment added Jan Vysoky That is very nice, thank you! I understand why you need compactness in your proof, and I see not way around this at first glance. Unfortunately, I need it without this restriction - but I will definitely take note of your approach, thanks.
