The CkC^k-map to Euclidean space conjecture

Let XX be a CkC^k-manifold and EE a complex CkC^k vector bundle of rank rr on XX. Let (y1,,yn)(y^1,\ldots,y^n) be a global coordinate system on Rn\Bbb R^n, and let

η:yimiCk(EndC(E)),i=1,,n,\eta:y^i\longmapsto m_i\in C^k(\operatorname{End}_{\Bbb C}(E)),\qquad i=1,\ldots,n,

be an assignment such that the mim_i commute pairwise, every eigenvalue of mi(p)m_i(p) is real for every pXp\in X, and the nilpotency of each mi(p)m_i(p) is at most k+1k+1. The CkC^k-map to Euclidean space conjecture. Then η\eta extends to a unique CkC^k-admissible ring-homomorphism

φη:Ck(Rn)Ck(EndC(E))\varphi_\eta^{\sharp}:C^k(\Bbb R^n)\longrightarrow C^k(\operatorname{End}_{\Bbb C}(E))

over RC{\Bbb R}\hookrightarrow{\Bbb C} and hence defines a CkC^k-map (X ⁣A ⁣z,E)Rn(X^{\!A\!z},E)\to\Bbb R^n.
