Exercise 1.43 (Smooth manifold chart lemma for manifolds with boundary)
Show that the smooth manifold chart lemma (Lemma 1.35) holds with “
” replaced with “
or
” and “smooth manifold” replaced by “smooth manifold with boundary”.
Lemma 1.35 (Smooth Manifold Chart Lemma). Let be a set, and suppose we are given a collection of subsets of together with maps , such that the following properties are satisfied:
- (i)
- For each is a bijection between and an open subset .
- (ii)
- For each and , the sets and are open in .
- (iii)
- Whenever , the map is smooth.
- (iv)
- Countably many of the sets cover .
- (v)
- Whenever are distinct points in , either there exists some containing both and or there exist disjoint sets with and .
Then has a unique smooth manifold structure such that each is a smooth chart.

The proof is identical to the proof of Lemma 1.35 with practically no changes applied but for replacing “ ” with “ or ”.
