Expressing a vector valued function in terms of its derivatives
Consider a function
$$
f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^m
$$
given by $m$ functions $f_i:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that we can assume to be polynomials in $x_1,\dots,x_n$.
Does there ...

Taylor expansion of determinant of Riemannian metric in normal coordinates up to higher order
Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Let $p\in M$, and let $\{x^i\}_{i=1}^n$ be normal coordinates centered around $p$.
Using Jacobi field, one can show that the metric $g$ has the ...

Norm of a Taylor approximation of a multivariate function
I have a function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$. My goal is to bound the first order Taylor approximation of $f$. Given $x,x'\in\mathbb{R}^n$ I have that
\begin{equation}
f(x)-f(x')\approx (x-x')^...

Taylor's series for Lie groups
Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two (matrix) Lie groups, with $L(G_1)$ and $L(G_2)$ their respective Lie algebras.
I am interested to know if there is a well developed theory to approximate a (sufficiently) ...

Higher order Approximation of Lie groups [closed]
Maybe the following is trivial or folklore, but I can't find any concrete proof of
the theorem, that higher order derivatives of Lie groups don't give any new information
above what is coded in its ...

Jet spaces for maps with constraints
Lets be in the category $\mathbf{M}$ of smooth finite dimensional manifolds with smooth maps:
Suppose we have the set of all smooth maps $Hom_\mathbf{M}(R^n,M)$ from $R^n$ to a smooth manifold $M$. ...
