integral curve starting at a zero of a vector field












0












$begingroup$


This is a question from Loring Tu's book "Introduction to manifolds" (Page-161 14.6(b))



Show that if X is the zero vector field on a manifold M, and ct(p) is the maximal integral curve of X starting at p, then the one-parameter group of diffeomorphisms c:R->Diff(M) is the constant map c(t)=1M.



From the previous part of this question I know that if X is a smooth vector field on a manifold M that vanishes at a point p in M then the integral curve of X with initial point p is the constant curve c(t)=p.



I am stuck and really don't know how to proceed.Thanks.

    Aren't you almost done already? Since $X$ vanishes at every point, every integral curve is just a constant curve. So no point moves, which is just what the identity map does.

You are basically done, because $c_p(t) = p = mathrm{id}(p)$, so $c(t)$ is the identity in $textrm{Diff}(M)$.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
