Emulsions are locally embedded.
3173) An immersion is locally embedded.
Theorem1
Proof
Assuming that $\phi$ is an immersion, it follows that $d\phi{p}$ is injective. To demonstrate embedding, it is necessary for $\phi|_{V}$ and $(\phi|_{V})^{-1}$ to be bijections, hence only up to $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ coordinates are considered for $$ \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{1}} & \dfrac{\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{2}} & \dots & \dfrac{\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{n}} \\[1em] \dfrac{\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{1}} & \dfrac{\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{2}} & \dots & \dfrac{\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{n}} \\[1ex] \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\[1ex] \dfrac{\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{1}} & \dfrac{\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{2}} & \dots & \dfrac{\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{n}} \end{bmatrix} $$
To apply the Inverse Function Theorem, consider the following mapping.
$$ \varphi : (U_{1} \times \mathbb{R}^{m-n=k})\subset \mathbb{R}^{m} \to \mathbb{R}^{m} $$
$$ \begin{align*} &\ \varphi ( x_{1}, \dots, x_{n}, t_{1}, \dots, t_{k} ) \\ =&\ \Big( y_{1}(x_{1},\dots,x_{n}), \dots, y_{n}(x_{1},\dots,x_{n}), y_{n+1}(x_{1},\dots,x_{n}) + t_{1}, \dots, y_{n+k}(x_{1},\dots,x_{n}) + t_{k} \Big) \end{align*} $$
$$ \begin{align*} \det( d \varphi _{q}) =&\ \dfrac{\partial (y_{1}, \dots, y_{n}, y_{n+1}, \dots, y_{n+k})}{\partial (x_{1}, \dots, x_{n}, t_{1}, \dots, t_{k})} \\ =&\ \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{1}} & \dfrac{\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{2}} & \dots & \dfrac{\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{n}} \\[1em] \dfrac{\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{1}} & \dfrac{\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{2}} & \dots & \dfrac{\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{n}} \\[1ex] \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\[1ex] \dfrac{\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{1}} & \dfrac{\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{2}} & \dots & \dfrac{\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{n}} \end{bmatrix} \\ =&\ \end{align*} $$
