Let be a smooth map between manifolds without boundary.
(i) Define what is meant by a critical point, critical value and regular value of .
(ii) Show that if is a regular value of and , then the set is a submanifold of with .
[You may assume the inverse function theorem.]
(iii) Let be the group of all real matrices with determinant 1. Prove that is a submanifold of the set of all real matrices. Find the tangent space to at the identity matrix.
