Description

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it appears that "h" and "f" have been interchanged in the geometric description of the pushforward (Line 73 of propagators.md, specifically). If so, then that document could probably use someone knowledgeable to edit it for clarity. Even with some familiarity with differential geometry, the math is confusing. E.g. which functions are defined on what spaces.

Research direction

Start with propagators.md, especially line 73, and check whether h and f are interchanged in the geometric description of the pushforward. Review the surrounding mathematical notation to identify which functions are defined on which spaces. Done means correcting any notation errors and clarifying the function domains in the documentation.
