We denote by $\mathcal{S}_{n}^{\dagger}(\mathbb{R})$ the set of $n \times n$ symmetric matrices whose eigenvalues are all simple. Show that the first component $s_{1}^{\downarrow}$ of $s^{\downarrow}$ is of class $\mathscr{C}^{1}$ on $\mathcal{S}_{2}^{\dagger}(\mathbb{R})$, but not on $\mathcal{S}_{2}(\mathbb{R})$. (One may use question 1d.)
