Abstract

Let MM be a smooth compact manifold and PP be either R1R^1 or S1S^1. There is a natural action of the groups Diff(M)Diff(M) and Diff(M)×Diff(P)Diff(M) \times Diff(P) on the space of smooth mappings C(M,P)C^{\infty}(M,P). For fC(M,P)f\in C^{\infty}(M,P) let SfS_f, SMPS_{MP}, OfO_f, and OMPO_{MP} be the stabilizers and orbits of ff under these actions. Recently, the author proved that under mild conditions on fC(M,R1)f\in C^{\infty}(M,R^1) the corresponding stabilizers and orbits are homotopy equivalent: SMRSMS_{MR} \sim S_{M} and OMROMO_{MR} \sim O_M. These results are extended here to the actions on C(M,S1)C^{\infty}(M,S^1). It is proved that under the similar conditions (that are rather typical) we have that SMSSMS_{MS}\sim S_M and OMSOM×S1O_{MS} \sim O_M \times S^1.
