Elements for a metric tangential calculus
Abstract
The metric jets, introduced in the first chapter, generalize the jets (at order one) of Charles Ehresmann. In short, for a "good" map (said to be "tangentiable" at ), we define its metric jet tangent at (composed of all the maps which are locally lipschitzian at and tangent to at ) called the "tangential" of at , and denoted T (the domain and codomain of being metric spaces). Furthermore, guided by the heuristic example of the metric jet T, tangent to a map differentiable at , which can be canonically represented by the unique continuous affine map it contains, we will extend, in the second chapter, into a specific metric context, this property of representation of a metric jet.This yields a lot of relevant examples of such representations.
