Vector Fields

Given two differentiable manifolds `U` and `M` over the same topological field
`K` and a differentiable map

.. MATH::

    \Phi:\ U \longrightarrow  M,

we define a *vector field along* `U` *with values on* `M` to be a
differentiable map

.. MATH::

    v:\ U  \longrightarrow TM

(`TM` being the tangent bundle of `M`) such that

.. MATH::

    \forall p \in U,\ v(p) \in T_{\Phi(p)}M.

The standard case of vector fields *on* a differentiable manifold corresponds
to `U = M` and `\Phi = \mathrm{Id}_M`. Other common cases are `\Phi`
being an immersion and `\Phi` being a curve in `M` (`U` is then an open
interval of `\RR`).

Vector fields are implemented via two classes: :class:`VectorFieldParal` and
:class:`VectorField`, depending respectively whether the manifold `M`
is parallelizable or not, i.e. whether the bundle `TM` is trivial or not.

    Vector field along a differentiable manifold.

    An instance of this class is a vector field along a differentiable
    manifold `U` with values on a differentiable manifold `M`, via a
    differentiable map `U \rightarrow M`. More precisely, given a
    differentiable map

    .. MATH::

        \Phi:\ U \longrightarrow M,

    a *vector field along* `U` *with values on* `M` is a differentiable map

    .. MATH::

        v:\ U  \longrightarrow TM

    (`TM` being the tangent bundle of `M`) such that

    .. MATH::

        \forall p \in U,\ v(p) \in T_{\Phi(p)}M.

    The standard case of vector fields *on* a differentiable manifold
    corresponds to `U = M` and `\Phi = \mathrm{Id}_M`. Other common cases are
    `\Phi` being an immersion and `\Phi` being a curve in `M` (`U` is then an
    open interval of `\RR`).

    .. NOTE::

        If `M` is parallelizable, then
        :class:`~sage.manifolds.differentiable.vectorfield.VectorFieldParal`
        *must* be used instead.

    INPUT:

    - ``vector_field_module`` -- module `\mathfrak{X}(U,\Phi)` of vector
      fields along `U` with values on `M\supset\Phi(U)`
    - ``name`` -- (default: ``None``) name given to the vector field
    - ``latex_name`` -- (default: ``None``) LaTeX symbol to denote the vector
      field; if none is provided, the LaTeX symbol is set to ``name``

    EXAMPLES:

    A vector field on a non-parallelizable 2-dimensional manifold::

        sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M')
        sage: U = M.open_subset('U') ; V = M.open_subset('V')
        sage: M.declare_union(U,V)   # M is the union of U and V
        sage: c_xy.<x,y> = U.chart() ; c_tu.<t,u> = V.chart()
        sage: transf = c_xy.transition_map(c_tu, (x+y, x-y), intersection_name='W',
        ....:                              restrictions1= x>0, restrictions2= t+u>0)
        sage: inv = transf.inverse()
        sage: W = U.intersection(V)
        sage: eU = c_xy.frame() ; eV = c_tu.frame()
        sage: c_tuW = c_tu.restrict(W) ; eVW = c_tuW.frame()
        sage: v = M.vector_field(name='v') ; v
        Vector field v on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
        sage: v.parent()
        Module X(M) of vector fields on the 2-dimensional differentiable
         manifold M

    The vector field is first defined on the domain `U` by means of its
    components with respect to the frame ``eU``::

        sage: v[eU,:] = [-y, 1+x]

    The components with respect to the frame ``eV`` are then deduced
    by continuation of the components with respect to the frame ``eVW``
    on the domain `W = U \cap V`, expressed in terms on the coordinates
    covering `V`::

        sage: v[eV,0] = v[eVW,0,c_tuW].expr()
        sage: v[eV,1] = v[eVW,1,c_tuW].expr()

    At this stage, the vector field is fully defined on the whole manifold::

        sage: v.display(eU)
        v = -y d/dx + (x + 1) d/dy
        sage: v.display(eV)
        v = (u + 1) d/dt + (-t - 1) d/du

    The vector field acting on scalar fields::

        sage: f = M.scalar_field({c_xy: (x+y)^2, c_tu: t^2}, name='f')
        sage: s = v(f) ; s
        Scalar field v(f) on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
        sage: s.display()
        v(f): M --> R
        on U: (x, y) |--> 2*x^2 - 2*y^2 + 2*x + 2*y
        on V: (t, u) |--> 2*t*u + 2*t

    Some checks::

        sage: v(f) == f.differential()(v)
        True
        sage: v(f) == f.lie_der(v)
        True

    The result is defined on the intersection of the vector field's
    domain and the scalar field's one::

        sage: s = v(f.restrict(U)) ; s
        Scalar field v(f) on the Open subset U of the 2-dimensional
         differentiable manifold M
        sage: s == v(f).restrict(U)
        True
        sage: s = v(f.restrict(W)) ; s
        Scalar field v(f) on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional
         differentiable manifold M
        sage: s.display()
        v(f): W --> R
           (x, y) |--> 2*x^2 - 2*y^2 + 2*x + 2*y
           (t, u) |--> 2*t*u + 2*t
        sage: s = v.restrict(U)(f) ; s
        Scalar field v(f) on the Open subset U of the 2-dimensional
         differentiable manifold M
        sage: s.display()
        v(f): U --> R
           (x, y) |--> 2*x^2 - 2*y^2 + 2*x + 2*y
        on W: (t, u) |--> 2*t*u + 2*t
        sage: s = v.restrict(U)(f.restrict(V)) ; s
        Scalar field v(f) on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional
         differentiable manifold M
        sage: s.display()
        v(f): W --> R
           (x, y) |--> 2*x^2 - 2*y^2 + 2*x + 2*y

        Plot the vector field in a Cartesian graph based on the coordinates

        The vector field is drawn in terms of two (2D graphics) or three
        (3D graphics) coordinates of a given chart, called hereafter the
        *ambient chart*.
        The vector field's base points `p` (or their images `\Phi(p)` by some
        differentiable mapping `\Phi`) must lie in the ambient chart's domain.

        INPUT:

        - ``chart`` -- (default: ``None``) the ambient chart (see above); if
          ``None``, the default chart of the vector field's domain is used

        - ``ambient_coords`` -- (default: ``None``) tuple containing the 2
          or 3 coordinates of the ambient chart in terms of which the plot
          is performed; if ``None``, all the coordinates of the ambient
          chart are considered

        - ``mapping`` -- :class:`~sage.manifolds.differentiable.diff_map.DiffMap`
          (default: ``None``); differentiable map `\Phi` providing the link
          between the vector field's domain and the ambient chart ``chart``;
          if ``None``, the identity map is assumed

        - ``chart_domain`` -- (default: ``None``) chart on the vector field's
          domain to define the points at which vector arrows are to be plotted;
          if ``None``, the default chart of the vector field's domain is used

        - ``fixed_coords`` -- (default: ``None``) dictionary with keys the
          coordinates of ``chart_domain`` that are kept fixed and with values
          the value of these coordinates; if ``None``, all the coordinates of
          ``chart_domain`` are used

        - ``ranges`` -- (default: ``None``) dictionary with keys the
          coordinates of ``chart_domain`` to be used and values tuples
          ``(x_min, x_max)`` specifying the coordinate range for the plot;
          if ``None``, the entire coordinate range declared during the
          construction of ``chart_domain`` is considered (with ``-Infinity``
          replaced by ``-max_range`` and ``+Infinity`` by ``max_range``)

        - ``number_values`` -- (default: ``None``) either an integer or a
          dictionary with keys the coordinates of ``chart_domain`` to be
          used and values the number of values of the coordinate for sampling
          the part of the vector field's domain involved in the plot ; if
          ``number_values`` is a single integer, it represents the number of
          values for all coordinates; if ``number_values`` is ``None``, it is
          set to 9 for a 2D plot and to 5 for a 3D plot

        - ``steps`` -- (default: ``None``) dictionary with keys the
          coordinates of ``chart_domain`` to be used and values the step
          between each constant value of the coordinate; if ``None``, the
          step is computed from the coordinate range (specified in ``ranges``)
          and ``number_values``; on the contrary, if the step is provided
          for some coordinate, the corresponding number of values is deduced
          from it and the coordinate range

        - ``parameters`` -- (default: ``None``) dictionary giving the numerical
          values of the parameters that may appear in the coordinate expression
          of the vector field (see example below)

        - ``label_axes`` -- (default: ``True``) boolean determining whether
          the labels of the coordinate axes of ``chart`` shall be added to
          the graph; can be set to ``False`` if the graph is 3D and must be
          superposed with another graph

        - ``color`` -- (default: 'blue') color of the arrows representing
          the vectors

        - ``max_range`` -- (default: 8) numerical value substituted to
          ``+Infinity`` if the latter is the upper bound of the range of a
          coordinate for which the plot is performed over the entire coordinate
          range (i.e. for which no specific plot range has been set in
          ``ranges``); similarly ``-max_range`` is the numerical valued
          substituted for ``-Infinity``

        - ``scale`` -- (default: 1) value by which the lengths of the arrows
          representing the vectors is multiplied

        - ``**extra_options`` -- extra options for the arrow plot, like
          ``linestyle``, ``width`` or ``arrowsize`` (see
          :func:`~sage.plot.arrow.arrow2d` and
          :func:`~sage.plot.plot3d.shapes.arrow3d` for details)

        OUTPUT:

        - a graphic object, either an instance of
          :class:`~sage.plot.graphics.Graphics` for a 2D plot (i.e. based on

            sphinx_plot(g)

        Plot using parallel computation::

            sage: Parallelism().set(nproc=2)
            sage: v.plot(scale=0.5,  number_values=10, linestyle='--', width=1,

            sage: Parallelism().set(nproc=1)  # switch off parallelization

        Plots along a line of fixed coordinate::

            sage: v.plot(fixed_coords={x: -2})
            Graphics object consisting of 9 graphics primitives

        .. PLOT::

            M = Manifold(2, 'M')

            v = M.vector_field(-y, x, name='v')

        Let us now consider a vector field on a 4-dimensional manifold::

            sage: M = Manifold(4, 'M')
            sage: X.<t,x,y,z> = M.chart()
            sage: v = M.vector_field((t/8)^2, -t*y/4, t*x/4, t*z/4, name='v')
            sage: v.display()
            v = 1/64*t^2 d/dt - 1/4*t*y d/dx + 1/4*t*x d/dy + 1/4*t*z d/dz

        We cannot make a 4D plot directly::

            sage: v.plot()
            Traceback (most recent call last):
            ...
            ValueError: the number of ambient coordinates must be either 2 or 3, not 4

        Rather, we have to select some coordinates for the plot, via
        the argument ``ambient_coords``. For instance, for a 3D plot::

            sage: v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, y, z), fixed_coords={t: 1},  # long time
            ....:        number_values=4)
            Graphics3d Object

        .. PLOT::

            M = Manifold(4, 'M')
            X = M.chart('t x y z') ; t,x,y,z = X[:]
            v = M.vector_field((t/8)**2, -t*y/4, t*x/4, t*z/4, name='v')
            sphinx_plot(v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, y, z), fixed_coords={t: 1},
                               number_values=4))

        ::

            sage: v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, y, t), fixed_coords={z: 0},  # long time
            ....:        ranges={x: (-2,2), y: (-2,2), t: (-1, 4)},
            ....:        number_values=4)
            Graphics3d Object

        .. PLOT::

            M = Manifold(4, 'M')
            X = M.chart('t x y z'); t,x,y,z = X[:]
            v = M.vector_field((t/8)**2, -t*y/4, t*x/4, t*z/4, name='v')
            sphinx_plot(v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, y, t), fixed_coords={z: 0},
                               ranges={x: (-2,2), y: (-2,2), t: (-1, 4)},
                               number_values=4))

        or, for a 2D plot::

            sage: v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, y), fixed_coords={t: 1, z: 0})  # long time
            Graphics object consisting of 80 graphics primitives

        .. PLOT::

            M = Manifold(4, 'M')
            X = M.chart('t x y z'); t,x,y,z = X[:]
            v = M.vector_field((t/8)**2, -t*y/4, t*x/4, t*z/4, name='v')
            g = v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, y), fixed_coords={t: 1, z: 0})
            sphinx_plot(g)

        ::

            sage: v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, t), fixed_coords={y: 1, z: 0})  # long time
            Graphics object consisting of 72 graphics primitives

        .. PLOT::

            M = Manifold(4, 'M')
            X = M.chart('t x y z'); t,x,y,z = X[:]
            v = M.vector_field((t/8)**2, -t*y/4, t*x/4, t*z/4, name='v')
            g = v.plot(ambient_coords=(x, t), fixed_coords={y: 1, z: 0})
            sphinx_plot(g)

        An example of plot via a differential mapping: plot of a vector field
        tangent to a 2-sphere viewed in `\RR^3`::

            sage: S2 = Manifold(2, 'S^2')
            sage: U = S2.open_subset('U') # the open set covered by spherical coord.
            sage: XS.<th,ph> = U.chart(r'th:(0,pi):\theta ph:(0,2*pi):\phi')
            sage: R3 = Manifold(3, 'R^3')
            sage: X3.<x,y,z> = R3.chart()
            sage: F = S2.diff_map(R3, {(XS, X3): [sin(th)*cos(ph),
            ....:                       sin(th)*sin(ph), cos(th)]}, name='F')
            sage: F.display() # the standard embedding of S^2 into R^3
            F: S^2 --> R^3
            on U: (th, ph) |--> (x, y, z) = (cos(ph)*sin(th), sin(ph)*sin(th), cos(th))
            sage: v = XS.frame()[1] ; v  # the coordinate vector d/dphi
            Vector field d/dph on the Open subset U of the 2-dimensional
             differentiable manifold S^2
            sage: graph_v = v.plot(chart=X3, mapping=F, label_axes=False)
            sage: graph_S2 = XS.plot(chart=X3, mapping=F, number_values=9)
            sage: graph_v + graph_S2
            Graphics3d Object

        .. PLOT::

            S2 = Manifold(2, 'S^2')
            U = S2.open_subset('U')
            XS = U.chart(r'th:(0,pi):\theta ph:(0,2*pi):\phi')
            th, ph = XS[:]
            R3 = Manifold(3, 'R^3')
            X3 = R3.chart('x y z')
            F = S2.diff_map(R3, {(XS, X3): [sin(th)*cos(ph), sin(th)*sin(ph),
                                            cos(th)]}, name='F')
            v = XS.frame()[1]
            graph_v = v.plot(chart=X3, mapping=F, label_axes=False)
            graph_S2 = XS.plot(chart=X3, mapping=F, number_values=9)
            sphinx_plot(graph_v + graph_S2)

        Note that the default values of some arguments of the method ``plot``
        are stored in the dictionary ``plot.options``::

            sage: v.plot.options  # random (dictionary output)
            {'color': 'blue', 'max_range': 8, 'scale': 1}

        so that they can be adjusted by the user::

            sage: v.plot.options['color'] = 'red'

        From now on, all plots of vector fields will use red as the default
        color. To restore the original default options, it suffices to type::

            sage: v.plot.reset()

    r"""
    Vector field along a differentiable manifold, with values on a
    parallelizable manifold.

    An instance of this class is a vector field along a differentiable
    manifold `U` with values on a parallelizable manifold `M`, via a
    differentiable map `\Phi: U \rightarrow M`. More precisely, given
    a differentiable map

    .. MATH::

        \Phi:\ U \longrightarrow M,

    a *vector field along* `U` *with values on* `M` is a differentiable map

    .. MATH::

        v:\ U  \longrightarrow TM

    (`TM` being the tangent bundle of `M`) such that

    .. MATH::

        \forall p \in U,\ v(p) \in T_{\Phi(p)}M.

    The standard case of vector fields *on* a differentiable manifold
    corresponds to `U = M` and `\Phi = \mathrm{Id}_M`. Other common cases
    are `\Phi` being an immersion and `\Phi` being a curve in `M` (`U`
    is then an open interval of `\RR`).

    .. NOTE::

        If `M` is not parallelizable, then
        :class:`~sage.manifolds.differentiable.vectorfield.VectorField`
        *must* be used instead.

    INPUT:

    - ``vector_field_module`` -- free module `\mathfrak{X}(U,\Phi)` of vector
      fields along `U` with values on `M\supset\Phi(U)`
    - ``name`` -- (default: ``None``) name given to the vector field
    - ``latex_name`` -- (default: ``None``) LaTeX symbol to denote the vector
      field; if none is provided, the LaTeX symbol is set to ``name``

    EXAMPLES:

    A vector field on a parallelizable 3-dimensional manifold::

        sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M')
        sage: c_xyz.<x,y,z> = M.chart()
        sage: v = M.vector_field(name='V') ; v
        Vector field V on the 3-dimensional differentiable manifold M
        sage: latex(v)
        V

    Vector fields are considered as elements of a module over the ring
    (algebra) of scalar fields on `M`::

        sage: v.parent()
        Free module X(M) of vector fields on the 3-dimensional differentiable
         manifold M
        sage: v.parent().base_ring()
        Algebra of differentiable scalar fields on the 3-dimensional
         differentiable manifold M
        sage: v.parent() is M.vector_field_module()
        True

    A vector field is a tensor field of rank 1 and of type `(1,0)`::

        sage: v.tensor_rank()
        1
        sage: v.tensor_type()
        (1, 0)

    Components of a vector field with respect to a given frame::

        sage: e = M.vector_frame('e') ; M.set_default_frame(e)
        sage: v[0], v[1], v[2] = (1+y, 4*x*z, 9)  # components on M's default frame (e)
        sage: v.comp()
        1-index components w.r.t. Vector frame (M, (e_0,e_1,e_2))

    The totality of the components are accessed via the operator ``[:]``::

        sage: v[:] = (1+y, 4*x*z, 9)
        sage: v[:]
        [y + 1, 4*x*z, 9]

    The components are also read on the expansion on the frame ``e``,
    as provided by the method
    :meth:`~sage.tensor.modules.free_module_tensor.FreeModuleTensor.display`::

        sage: v.display()  # expansion in the default frame
        V = (y + 1) e_0 + 4*x*z e_1 + 9 e_2

    A subset of the components can be accessed by using slice notation::

        sage: v[1:] = (-2, -x*y)
        sage: v[:]
        [y + 1, -2, -x*y]
        sage: v[:2]
        [y + 1, -2]

    Components in another frame::

        sage: f = M.vector_frame('f')
        sage: for i in range(3):
        ....:     v.set_comp(f)[i] = (i+1)**3 * c_xyz[i]
        ....:
        sage: v.comp(f)[2]
        27*z
        sage: v[f, 2]  # equivalent to above
        27*z
        sage: v.display(f)
        V = x f_0 + 8*y f_1 + 27*z f_2

    One can set the components at the vector definition::

        sage: v = M.vector_field(1+y, 4*x*z, 9, name='V')
        sage: v.display()
        V = (y + 1) e_0 + 4*x*z e_1 + 9 e_2

    If the components regard a vector frame different from the default one,
    the vector frame has to be specified via the argument ``frame``::

        sage: v = M.vector_field(x, 8*y, 27*z, frame=f, name='V')
        sage: v.display(f)
        V = x f_0 + 8*y f_1 + 27*z f_2

    For providing the components in various frames, one may use a dictionary::

        sage: v = M.vector_field({e: [1+y, -2, -x*y], f: [x, 8*y, 27*z]},
        ....:                    name='V')
        sage: v.display(e)
        V = (y + 1) e_0 - 2 e_1 - x*y e_2
        sage: v.display(f)
        V = x f_0 + 8*y f_1 + 27*z f_2

    It is also possible to construct a vector field from a vector of symbolic
    expressions (or any other iterable)::

        sage: v = M.vector_field(vector([1+y, 4*x*z, 9]), name='V')
        sage: v.display()
        V = (y + 1) e_0 + 4*x*z e_1 + 9 e_2

    The range of the indices depends on the convention set for the manifold::

        sage: M = Manifold(3, 'M', start_index=1)
        sage: c_xyz.<x,y,z> = M.chart()
        sage: e = M.vector_frame('e') ; M.set_default_frame(e)
        sage: v = M.vector_field(1+y, 4*x*z, 9, name='V')
        sage: v[0]
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        IndexError: index out of range: 0 not in [1, 3]
        sage: v[1]  # OK
        y + 1

    A vector field acts on scalar fields (derivation along the vector field)::

        sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M')
        sage: c_cart.<x,y> = M.chart()
        sage: f = M.scalar_field(x*y^2, name='f')
        sage: v = M.vector_field(-y, x, name='v')
        sage: v.display()
        v = -y d/dx + x d/dy
        sage: v(f)
        Scalar field v(f) on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
        sage: v(f).expr()
        2*x^2*y - y^3
        sage: latex(v(f))
        v\left(f\right)

    Example of a vector field associated with a non-trivial map `\Phi`;
    a vector field along a curve in `M`::

        sage: R = Manifold(1, 'R')
        sage: T.<t> = R.chart()  # canonical chart on R
        sage: Phi = R.diff_map(M, [cos(t), sin(t)], name='Phi') ; Phi
        Differentiable map Phi from the 1-dimensional differentiable manifold R
         to the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
        sage: Phi.display()
        Phi: R --> M
           t |--> (x, y) = (cos(t), sin(t))
        sage: w = R.vector_field(-sin(t), cos(t), dest_map=Phi, name='w') ; w
        Vector field w along the 1-dimensional differentiable manifold R with
         values on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
        sage: w.parent()
        Free module X(R,Phi) of vector fields along the 1-dimensional
         differentiable manifold R mapped into the 2-dimensional differentiable
         manifold M
        sage: w.display()
        w = -sin(t) d/dx + cos(t) d/dy

    Value at a given point::

        sage: p = R((0,), name='p') ; p
        Point p on the 1-dimensional differentiable manifold R
        sage: w.at(p)
        Tangent vector w at Point Phi(p) on the 2-dimensional differentiable
         manifold M
        sage: w.at(p).display()
        w = d/dy
        sage: w.at(p) == v.at(Phi(p))
        True
