Let $M$ a manifold of class $C^infty$. Show that $M$ is orientable if and only if $M setminus p$ is orientable.



Comments:



($Rightarrow$) Let $omega: M longrightarrow Lambda^n(M)$ a orientation form of M then $omega: Msetminusp longrightarrow Lambda^n(Msetminusp)$ is a form which is never null then defines a orientation in $Msetminusp$.



I am having difficulty justifying the ($Leftarrow$).

  • You should give a bit more context, explain the symbols, and so on. I can guess that $M$ is any manifold and $p in M$ a point, but still I'd prefer to hear that from you.

    For $Leftarrow$, in a chart at $p$ write $omega=gdx_1wedge...wedge dx_n$. The $g$ is always positive except possibly at $0$. Then take $omega'=g'dx_1wedge...wedge dx_n$, where $g'$ is equal to $1$ at $0$ and equal to $g$ outside a neighborhood of $0$.

  • @HGLandcaster Do you say to define $g (p) = 1$?

    @Croos Yes, but doing only that wouldn't keep it smooth. It has to be adjusted in a whole neighborhood of $p$ to keep it smooth. Fortunately smooth functions are quite flexible.
