r""" Algebra of Differentiable Scalar Fields
The class :class:`DiffScalarFieldAlgebra` implements the commutative algebra `C^k(M)` of differentiable scalar fields on a differentiable manifold `M` of class `C^k` over a topological field `K` (in most applications, `K = \RR` or `K = \CC`). By *differentiable scalar field*, it is meant a function `M\rightarrow K` that is `k`-times continuously differentiable. `C^k(M)` is an algebra over `K`, whose ring product is the pointwise multiplication of `K`-valued functions, which is clearly commutative.

r""" Commutative algebra of differentiable scalar fields on a differentiable manifold.
If `M` is a differentiable manifold of class `C^k` over a topological field `K`, the *commutative algebra of scalar fields on* `M` is the set `C^k(M)` of all `k`-times continuously differentiable maps `M\rightarrow K`. The set `C^k(M)` is an algebra over `K`, whose ring product is the pointwise multiplication of `K`-valued functions, which is clearly commutative.
If `K = \RR` or `K = \CC`, the field `K` over which the algebra `C^k(M)` is constructed is represented by Sage's Symbolic Ring ``SR``, since there is no exact representation of `\RR` nor `\CC` in Sage.
Via its base class :class:`~sage.manifolds.scalarfield_algebra.ScalarFieldAlgebra`, the class :class:`DiffScalarFieldAlgebra` inherits from :class:`~sage.structure.parent.Parent`, with the category set to :class:`~sage.categories.commutative_algebras.CommutativeAlgebras`. The corresponding *element* class is :class:`~sage.manifolds.differentiable.scalarfield.DiffScalarField`.
INPUT:
- ``domain`` -- the differentiable manifold `M` on which the scalar fields are defined (must be an instance of class :class:`~sage.manifolds.differentiable.manifold.DifferentiableManifold`)
EXAMPLES:
Algebras of scalar fields on the sphere `S^2` and on some open subset of it::
sage: M = Manifold(2, 'M') # the 2-dimensional sphere S^2 sage: U = M.open_subset('U') # complement of the North pole sage: c_xy.<x,y> = U.chart() # stereographic coordinates from the North pole sage: V = M.open_subset('V') # complement of the South pole sage: c_uv.<u,v> = V.chart() # stereographic coordinates from the South pole sage: M.declare_union(U,V) # S^2 is the union of U and V sage: xy_to_uv = c_xy.transition_map(c_uv, (x/(x^2+y^2), y/(x^2+y^2)), ....: intersection_name='W', restrictions1= x^2+y^2!=0, ....: restrictions2= u^2+v^2!=0) sage: uv_to_xy = xy_to_uv.inverse() sage: CM = M.scalar_field_algebra() ; CM Algebra of differentiable scalar fields on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: W = U.intersection(V) # S^2 minus the two poles sage: CW = W.scalar_field_algebra() ; CW Algebra of differentiable scalar fields on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
`C^k(M)` and `C^k(W)` belong to the category of commutative algebras over `\RR` (represented here by Sage's Symbolic Ring)::
sage: CM.category() Category of commutative algebras over Symbolic Ring sage: CM.base_ring() Symbolic Ring sage: CW.category() Category of commutative algebras over Symbolic Ring sage: CW.base_ring() Symbolic Ring
The elements of `C^k(M)` are scalar fields on `M`::
sage: CM.an_element() Scalar field on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: CM.an_element().display() # this sample element is a constant field M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> 2 on V: (u, v) |--> 2
Those of `C^k(W)` are scalar fields on `W`::
sage: CW.an_element() Scalar field on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: CW.an_element().display() # this sample element is a constant field W --> R (x, y) |--> 2 (u, v) |--> 2
The zero element::
sage: CM.zero() Scalar field zero on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: CM.zero().display() zero: M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> 0 on V: (u, v) |--> 0
::
sage: CW.zero() Scalar field zero on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: CW.zero().display() zero: W --> R (x, y) |--> 0 (u, v) |--> 0
The unit element::
sage: CM.one() Scalar field 1 on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: CM.one().display() 1: M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> 1 on V: (u, v) |--> 1
::
sage: CW.one() Scalar field 1 on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: CW.one().display() 1: W --> R (x, y) |--> 1 (u, v) |--> 1
A generic element can be constructed as for any parent in Sage, namely by means of the ``__call__`` operator on the parent (here with the dictionary of the coordinate expressions defining the scalar field)::
sage: f = CM({c_xy: atan(x^2+y^2), c_uv: pi/2 - atan(u^2+v^2)}); f Scalar field on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: f.display() M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> arctan(x^2 + y^2) on V: (u, v) |--> 1/2*pi - arctan(u^2 + v^2) sage: f.parent() Algebra of differentiable scalar fields on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M
Specific elements can also be constructed in this way::
sage: CM(0) == CM.zero() True sage: CM(1) == CM.one() True
Note that the zero scalar field is cached::
sage: CM(0) is CM.zero() True
Elements can also be constructed by means of the method :meth:`~sage.manifolds.manifold.TopologicalManifold.scalar_field` acting on the domain (this allows one to set the name of the scalar field at the construction)::
sage: f1 = M.scalar_field({c_xy: atan(x^2+y^2), c_uv: pi/2 - atan(u^2+v^2)}, ....: name='f') sage: f1.parent() Algebra of differentiable scalar fields on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: f1 == f True sage: M.scalar_field(0, chart='all') == CM.zero() True
The algebra `C^k(M)` coerces to `C^k(W)` since `W` is an open subset of `M`::
sage: CW.has_coerce_map_from(CM) True
The reverse is of course false::
sage: CM.has_coerce_map_from(CW) False
The coercion map is nothing but the restriction to `W` of scalar fields on `M`::
sage: fW = CW(f) ; fW Scalar field on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: fW.display() W --> R (x, y) |--> arctan(x^2 + y^2) (u, v) |--> 1/2*pi - arctan(u^2 + v^2)
::
sage: CW(CM.one()) == CW.one() True
The coercion map allows for the addition of elements of `C^k(W)` with elements of `C^k(M)`, the result being an element of `C^k(W)`::
sage: s = fW + f sage: s.parent() Algebra of differentiable scalar fields on the Open subset W of the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: s.display() W --> R (x, y) |--> 2*arctan(x^2 + y^2) (u, v) |--> pi - 2*arctan(u^2 + v^2)
Another coercion is that from the Symbolic Ring, the parent of all symbolic expressions (cf. :class:`~sage.symbolic.ring.SymbolicRing`). Since the Symbolic Ring is the base ring for the algebra ``CM``, the coercion of a symbolic expression ``s`` is performed by the operation ``s*CM.one()``, which invokes the reflected multiplication operator :meth:`sage.manifolds.scalarfield.ScalarField._rmul_`. If the symbolic expression does not involve any chart coordinate, the outcome is a constant scalar field::
sage: h = CM(pi*sqrt(2)) ; h Scalar field on the 2-dimensional differentiable manifold M sage: h.display() M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> sqrt(2)*pi on V: (u, v) |--> sqrt(2)*pi sage: a = var('a') sage: h = CM(a); h.display() M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> a on V: (u, v) |--> a
If the symbolic expression involves some coordinate of one of the manifold's charts, the outcome is initialized only on the chart domain::
sage: h = CM(a+x); h.display() M --> R on U: (x, y) |--> a + x sage: h = CM(a+u); h.display() M --> R on V: (u, v) |--> a + u
If the symbolic expression involves coordinates of different charts, the scalar field is created as a Python object, but is not initialized, in order to avoid any ambiguity::
sage: h = CM(x+u); h.display() M --> R
