22 Basic physics Specialisation to classical electromagnetic theory We create our universe: two manifolds and one map Initialisation: Basic objects Parameter manifold: Configuration manifold: Map: M = R m N = R n Φ : M N Derived objects World bubble: Phase space: Jacobian: Θ = Φ(U M) = R m Ω = T N = R 2n J = DΦ M(m n, R) All physics is in finding Φ Kevin Li Synchro-Betatron Motion 15/ 70

23 Basic physics Specialisation to classical electromagnetic theory We create our universe: two manifolds and one map Initialisation: We create our universe by declaring two manifolds and connecting them with a map The parameter manifold M is our world The configuration manifold N is some quantity we are interested in The map Φ is an embedding of our world into the target space and as such describes the evolution of the target space quantities Kevin Li Synchro-Betatron Motion 15/ 70

24 Basic physics Specialisation to classical electromagnetic theory We create our universe: two manifolds and one map Why do we need manifolds and all that stuff? In our intuition we are (always) using them We (always) start with a collection of points which are, a priori, completely unstructured (i.e. a mesh of an accelerator structure (without connectivity information) or the time steps in a particle tracking code (with no ordering)) We want to be able to talk about neighbourhoods, derivatives, tangent spaces, metrics in order obtain a predictable evolution (a function of the parameter manifold) for any quantity that lives in our world. Our collection of points must thus be endowed with a smooth connectivity which is done formally via a differentiable structure (equivalence class of atlases where an atlas is a family of compatible charts on an open cover of the parameter manifold 1 ). Then, locally, our collection of points becomes isomorph to the Euclidean space; it locally obtains the structure of a linear vector space within which we are fully equipped with all our well-known tools of calculus 1 s.
