DefinitionLowering the smoothness of a Riemannian metric#✓fully proved

Let \(E\) be a real vector bundle over a manifold \(B\), let \(m \le n\) be smoothness exponents in \(\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty, \omega\}\), and let \(g\) be a \(C^n\) Riemannian metric on \(E\). Then \(g\), with the same inner product on every fiber, is a \(C^m\) Riemannian metric on \(E\).

TheoremLowering the smoothness keeps the inner product#✓fully proved

Let \(E\) be a real vector bundle over a manifold \(B\), let \(m \le n\) be smoothness exponents in \(\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty, \omega\}\), and let \(g\) be a \(C^n\) Riemannian metric on \(E\). For every \(b \in B\), the inner product on the fiber \(E_b\) of \(g\) viewed as a \(C^m\) Riemannian metric equals the inner product of \(g\) on \(E_b\).

DefinitionConformal scaling of a Riemannian metric#✓fully proved

Let \(E\) be a real vector bundle over a manifold \(B\), let \(n \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty, \omega\}\), let \(g\) be a \(C^n\) Riemannian metric on \(E\), and let \(u : B \to \mathbb{R}\) be a \(C^n\) function with \(u(b) > 0\) for every \(b \in B\). The conformal scaling of \(g\) by \(u\) is the \(C^n\) Riemannian metric \(u g\) on \(E\) whose inner product on each fiber \(E_b\) is \(u(b)\) times the inner product of \(g\) on \(E_b\).

TheoremInner product of a conformally scaled metric#✓fully proved

Let \(E\) be a real vector bundle over a manifold \(B\), let \(n \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty, \omega\}\), let \(g\) be a \(C^n\) Riemannian metric on \(E\), with inner product \(g_b\) on the fiber \(E_b\), and let \(u : B \to \mathbb{R}\) be a \(C^n\) function with \(u(b) > 0\) for every \(b \in B\). Then the conformal scaling \(u g\) of \(g\) by \(u\) satisfies \((u g)_b(v, w) = u(b)\, g_b(v, w)\) for every \(b \in B\) and all \(v, w \in E_b\).
