Rigid motion of a boundary chart #
A boundary chart relabels and reorients the coordinate axes before reading the domain off a graph, and that relabelling and reorientation is a linear isometry of the whole space. This file moves a weak gradient through one.
A linear isometry is its own derivative, so the chain rule sends the gradient to its transpose
applied to the gradient, which in coordinates is the sum over the directions the isometry sends
the k-th one to. The reflection of Extension/Reflect.lean is the case where that sum has a
single term and a sign; the general case needs the sum, and the finite sum has to travel
through an integral, which is where the integrability hypotheses enter.

Weak gradient through a linear isometry. The isometry is its own derivative, so the
gradient transforms by its transpose, which in coordinates is the sum over the directions the
isometry sends the k-th one to.
The gradient's seminorm #
Seminorm of the gradient through a linear isometry. Each coordinate of the image of a unit direction is at most one, so the transported component is bounded by the sum of the components it mixes.
