Reference: riemannian metric with operator norm arbitrarily small compact manifolds












3












$begingroup$


I read this posts:



uniform equivalence of norms induced by riemannian-metrics



and



supremum of operator norm of the differential



So, it is natural to ask the following. Let $f: M to M$ to be a $C^{1}$ local diffeomorphism map in a compact finite dimensional manifold $M$, fixed $beta >0$. Does there exist a Riemannian metric on $TM$ such that $|df_{x}| leq beta$ ?



I suspect that the answer is negative, I tried to solve this for only one point of manifold, but I stuck. Does someone know any reference related with this topic?



Thanks

I will consider $S^1$ as the one-point compactification of the real line, $S^1={mathbb R}cup{infty}$ where the smooth atlas is given by the identity chart on ${mathbb R}$ and the chart given by the map $xmapsto x^{-1}$ on ${mathbb R}cup{infty}- {0}$. The map $f: S^1to S^1$ given by $f(x)=2x, xne infty$, $f(infty)=infty$ is a diffeomorphism.



If you do not like this, just take the standard unit circle in the complex plane and let $f$ be the restriction to $S^1$ of a suitable linear-fractional transformation preserving the unit disk.



Now, suppose that $g$ is any Riemannian metric on $S^1$; take $beta=1$. The derivative $df_0$ of $f$ at $0$ is again the multiplication by $2$. Hence, $||df_0||=2$ where the norm is taken with respect to the metric $g$. But $1<2$.



Hence, the answer to your question is indeed negative.



Here is a more general argument. Let $M$ be any smooth compact connected manifold and let $f: Mto M$ be any degree 1 smooth map, for instance, the identity map. Take $0<beta<1$. Then for any Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ there exists a point $xin M$ such that $||df_x||ge 1>beta$. The reason is that otherwise the volume of $f(M)$ is strictly less than the volume of $M$, which contradicts the degree assumption.
