    A subbundle of variable dimension inside the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold is called a smooth distribution if it is the pointwise span of a family of smooth vector fields. We prove that all such distributions are finitely generated, meaning that the family may be taken to be a finite collection. Further, we show that the space of smooth sections of such distributions need not be finitely generated as a module over the smooth functions. Our results are valid in greater generality, where the tangent bundle may be replaced by an arbitrary vector bundle. Click here to get a version from the arXiv.

    “In many cases, proofs based on coordinate free local representations in charts are clearer than proofs which are repleate with the claws of a rather unpleasant prying insect such as \Gamma^i_{jkl}.”
