The chain rule for germs along an analytic map #
Kollár computes the derivatives of the transform of an ideal "using the chain rule" [Kol07, 75].
On the stalks this is the following identity: for an analytic map f : M' → M, a chart φ of
M at f b with coordinates x_k and any 𝕜-derivation δ of 𝒪_{M', b},
δ(s ∘ f) = ∑_k δ((x_k − x_k(f b)) ∘ f) · (∂_k s) ∘ f for every germ s at f b
(derivation_germMap_eq_sum_coordDerivStalk; s ∘ f is the germ map germMap).
The proof is the Taylor-uniqueness argument of derivation_eq_sum_coordDerivStalk
(Hironaka/Manifold/Germ/CoordDerivCoords.lean) rerun for the "derivation along f"
F(s) := δ(s ∘ f) − ∑_k δ(x_k ∘ f) · (∂_k s) ∘ f: F is additive, satisfies the Leibniz rule
F(st) = (s ∘ f) F(t) + (t ∘ f) F(s), kills the constants and the centred coordinates, hence
every polynomial in the coordinates; and F lowers the order by one
(F(𝔪_{f b}^{k+1}) ⊆ 𝔪_b^k, because the germ map is a local homomorphism and derivations lower
the order). Every germ is a polynomial in the coordinates up to 𝔪^{k+1}, so
F(s) ∈ ⋂_k 𝔪_b^k = 0. Not in the sources as a separate statement. It is used to transport
derivations along germ maps (Hironaka/Resolution/Analytic/MaximalContact/StalkEquiv.lean) and to
compute derivative ideals in the charts of a blow-up
(Hironaka/Manifold/BlowUp/Transform/DerivChart.lean).
The germ map of an analytic map is a 𝕜-algebra map: constants pull back to constants.
The germ map is a local homomorphism, so it carries 𝔪_{f b}^k into 𝔪_b^k.
The chain rule for germs along an analytic map f : M' → M (the identity behind Kollár's
computation "using the chain rule" [Kol07, 75]; the Taylor-uniqueness argument of
derivation_eq_sum_coordDerivStalk for a derivation along the germ map). For a chart φ at f b
with coordinates x_k, every 𝕜-derivation δ of 𝒪_{M', b} satisfies, on the germs s ∘ f,
δ(s ∘ f) = ∑_k δ((x_k − x_k(f b)) ∘ f) · (∂_k s) ∘ f.
