SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the difficulty in locating information about the domain-straightening theorem and the range-straightening theorem. Participants mention alternative names for these theorems, specifically "canonical forms for submersion and immersion" as referenced in Gallot-Lafontaine-Hullin. While some resources like the Wikipedia page on the straightening theorem for vector fields were found, they do not provide the specific information sought. The conversation highlights a lack of comprehensive resources detailing the mathematical context of these theorems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of real analysis concepts
  • Familiarity with differential geometry terminology
  • Knowledge of vector fields and their properties
  • Basic comprehension of canonical forms in mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "domain-straightening theorem" in mathematical literature
  • Explore "range-straightening theorem" applications in real analysis
  • Investigate "canonical forms for submersion and immersion" in differential geometry
  • Review lecture notes from MIT's Analysis II course for related concepts
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of real analysis, and researchers in differential geometry seeking clarity on domain and range-straightening theorems.

I'm trying to find the wiki page (if it exists) on the domain-straightening theorem and the range-straightening theorem but searches for those words produce no results.

I've also seen those theorems by the name of "canonical forms for submersion and immersion" (in Gallot-Lafontaine-Hullin), which produces no result either.

Bumping this thread, because I am in the same situation as the OP, and since I also haven't found anything. Well, I guess the one thing I found was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightening_theorem_for_vector_fields, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for. I namely stumbled upon this theorem in real analysis, and while it seems similar to what the wikipedia page has there, it's still not the same.
