Smooth circle presentations #

The geometric presentation of an oriented knot in a manifold is a smooth embedding of the standard oriented circle into that manifold. This file specializes TauCeti.SmoothEmbedding to that source, without introducing a privileged Knot type, and supplies the two canonical kinds of reparametrization of the circle:

The rotations use Mathlib's smooth scalar-action diffeomorphisms for the analytic Lie group Circle; reflection is the smooth inversion map of that group. The resulting operations on TauCeti.SmoothCircleEmbedding are instances of the general source-reparametrization operation TauCeti.SmoothEmbedding.compDiffeomorph. In particular, they preserve the image and commute with transport by a diffeomorphism of the ambient manifold.

This is the first geometric presentation requested by layer 4 of the geometric-topology roadmap. A parametrization gives the image circle its orientation. A framing is deliberately not included here: defining a push-off as a framing requires the tubular-neighbourhood interface from layer 1. The unoriented presentation is likewise a later quotient by orientation-reversing reparametrizations, rather than a second bundled embedding type.

      A smooth circle presentation in a manifold modelled on I is a smooth embedding of the standard complex unit circle into the manifold. Its parametrization orients the image circle.

        Reparametrize a smooth circle embedding by the orientation-preserving rotation x ↦ a * x. This changes the marked parametrization but not the oriented image.
