On Sn×Sn, consider q(x,y)=⟨x,y⟩. At a point of q−1(0), its differential is
dq(x,y)​(u,v)=⟨u,y⟩+⟨x,v⟩.
(1)
The tangent vector (y,x) lies in Tx​Sn⊕Ty​Sn and has dq(y,x)=2, so zero is a regular value. The regular level set theorem makes P=q−1(0) a smooth submanifold. Its tangent space is
T(x,y)​P={(u,v):⟨u,x⟩=0, ⟨v,y⟩=0, ⟨u,y⟩+⟨x,v⟩=0}.
