cotangent bundle is a bundle


Verifying the first criterion is simply a matter of writing it out:

(x1,…,x2⁢n)↦(π⁢(x1,…,x2⁢n),ϕα⁢(x1,…,xn))=((x1,…,xn),(xn+1,…,x2⁢n))

This is obviously a homeomorphism.

As for the second criterion,

∑j=1ngα⁢βji⁢(x1,…,x2⁢n)⁢ϕβj⁢(x1,…,x2⁢n) = ∑j=n2⁢n∂(σα⁢β(x1,…xn))i∂⁡xj⁢xj+n
= σ′α⁢βi+n⁢(x1,…,x2⁢n)
= ϕαi⁢(x1,…,x2⁢n)

The third criterion follows from the chain rule:

gα⁢βji⁢gβ⁢γkj=∂(σα⁢β(x1,…xn))i∂⁡xj⁢∂(σβ⁢γ(x1,…xn))j∂⁡xk
