Exercise · ZW-SMOOTH-DIFFEOMORPHIC-DEFORMATION-005 · ★☆☆ Basic

Which statement necessarily follows from \(\varphi\) being a smooth diffeomorphic deformation?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. The inverse \(\varphi^{-1}\) is also smooth

Explanation

By definition, the inverse of a smooth diffeomorphic deformation is smooth. It does not force distance preservation or fixed points, and its nonvanishing Jacobian rules out folds.

Review the concept: Smooth diffeomorphic deformation

A smooth diffeomorphic deformation \(\varphi\) is a bijective, smooth transformation whose inverse is also smooth.

\[\varphi^{-1}\text{ is smooth}\]
