We describe a very general (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, called polyfolds. This theory is applicable to Gromov-Witten and Floer Theory as well as Symplectic Field Theory. It should also be applicable to a…

In this paper we start with the applications of polyfold theory to symplectic field theory.

This is the first paper in a series introducing a generalized Fredholm theory in a new class of smooth spaces called polyfolds. The theory will be illustrated in upcoming papers by applications to Floer Theory, Gromov-Witten Theory and…

The main topic is the development of a Fredholm theory in a new class of spaces called M-polyfolds. In the subsequent Volume II the theory will be generalized to an even larger class of spaces called polyfolds, which can also incorporate…

We survey a very general (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, called polyfolds. This theory is being currently developed jointly with K. Wysocki and E. Zehnder. The basic feature of these new spaces is that in…

We describe a very general (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, called polyfolds. The basic feature of these new spaces is that in general they may have locally varying dimensions. These new spaces are needed for a…

We survey a (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces called polyfolds, and develop the analytical foundations for some of the applications of the theory. The basic feature of these new spaces, which can be finite and…

We describe a (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, as well as for a certain type of categories. The theory is illustrated by an application to the category of stable maps.

This survey wants to give a short introduction to the transversality problem in symplectic field theory and motivate to approach it using the new Fredholm theory by Hofer, Wysocki and Zehnder. With this it should serve as a lead-in for the…

We develop a theory of integration with respect to the Lefschetz number in the context of o-minimal structures containing the semilinear sets. We prove several results and we apply the theory to the field of object detection using sensors.

Work of Hofer--Wysocki--Zehnder has shown that many spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that arise when studying symplectic manifolds may be described as the zero set of a polyfold Fredholm section. This framework has many analytic…

We develop a theory of integration over valued fields of residue characteristic zero. In particular we obtain new and base-field independent foundations for integration over local fields of large residue characteristic, extending results of…

The main idea of this note is to describe the integration procedure for poly-Poisson structures, that is, to find a poly-symplectic groupoid integrating a poly-Poisson structure, in terms of topological field theories, namely via the…

A study of zero-dimensional theories, based on exact results, is presented. First, relying on a simple diagrammatic representation of the theory, equations involving the generating function of all connected Green's functions are…

We introduce a class of functions near zero on the logarithmic cover of the complex plane that have convergent expansions into generalized power series. The construction covers cases where non-integer powers of $z$ and also terms containing…

We prove fixed point theorems in a space with a distance function that takes values in a partially ordered monoid. On the one hand, such an approach allows one to generalize some fixed point theorems in a broad class of spaces, including…

This paper is a self-contained presentation of certain aspects of the theory of weighted Sobolev spaces and elliptic operators on non-compact Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we discuss (i) the standard and weighted Sobolev Embedding…

For each integer q>0 there is a cohomology theory such that the zero cohomology group of a manifold N of dimension n is a certain group of cobordism classes of proper fold maps of manifolds of dimension n+q into N. We prove a splitting…

We sketch in this article a new theory, which we call Symplectic Field Theory or SFT, which provides an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of topological field…
