Cotangent space
text:
In differential geometry, the cotangent space is a vector space associated with a point x on a smooth manifold M ; one can define a cotangent space for every point on a smooth manifold. Typically, the cotangent space, T x ∗ M is defined as the dual space of the tangent space at x , T x M , although there are more direct definitions. The elements of the cotangent space are called cotangent vectors or tangent covectors.
