In this paper we prove an infinite-dimensional version of Sard's theorem for Fr\'{e}chet manifolds. Let $ M $ and $ N $ be bounded Fr\'{e}chet manifolds such that the topologies of their model Fr\'{e}chet spaces are defined by metrics with…

We study transversality for Lipschitz-Fredholm maps in the context of bounded Fr\'{e}chet manifolds. We show that the set of all Lipschitz-Fredholm maps of a fixed index between Fr\'{e}chet spaces has the transverse stability property. We…

Chern-Weil and Chern-Simons theory extend to certain infinite-rank bundles that appear in mathematical physics. We discuss what is known of the invariant theory of the corresponding infinite-dimensional Lie groups. We use these techniques…

We prove multiplicity theorems for Keller $ C_c^1 $-functionals on Frechet spaces and Finsler manifolds which are invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup. For such functionals, we evaluate the minimal number of critical points by…

We study Fredholm properties and index formulas for Dirac operators over complete Riemannian manifolds with straight ends. An important class of examples of such manifolds are complete Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative sectional…

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 study the simplest singular points of Fredholm maps of index zero between Banach spaces, i.e. when the kernel of the Frechet derivative of the map has dimension one. Even in this relatively simple case we have a rich variety of…

In this paper some results on the topology of the space of $k$-flats in $\mathbb R^n$ are proved, similar to the Borsuk-Ulam theorem on coverings of sphere. Some corollaries on common transversals for families of compact sets in $\mathbb…

Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be an odd dimensional ($\dim M\geq 3$) connected oriented noncompact complete spin Riemannian manifold. Let $k^{TM}$ be the associated scalar curvature. Let $f:M\to S^{\dim M}(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map which is…

This article provides a version of scale calculus geared towards a notion of (nonlinear) Fredholm maps between certain types of Frechet spaces, retaining as many as possible of the properties Fredholm maps between Banach spaces enjoy, and…

In this paper we propose a new treatment about infinite dimensional manifolds, using the language of category and functor. Our definition of infinite dimensional manifolds is a natural generalization of finite dimensional manifolds in the…

In this paper we construct a class of infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds in the spaces of pairs of meromorphic functions defined on certain regions of the Riemann sphere. For such Frobenius manifolds, we obtain their principal…

We prove a so-called linking theorem and some of its corollaries, namely a mountain pass theorem and a three critical points theorem for Keller $ C^1$-functional on $ C^1 $- Frechet manifolds. Our approach relies on a deformation result…

Several authors have recently constructed characteristic classes for classes of infinite rank vector bundles appearing in topology and physics. These include the tangent bundle to the space of maps between closed manifolds, the infinite…

We develop a family of infinite-dimensional (non-parametric) manifolds of probability measures. The latter are defined on underlying Banach spaces, and have densities of class $C_b^k$ with respect to appropriate reference measures. The case…

In this paper we will investigate the global properties of complete Hilbert manifolds with upper and lower bounded sectional curvature. We shall prove the Focal Index Lemma that we will allow us to extend some classical results of finite…

Let $(V,Z)$ be a Topological Quantum Field Theory over a field $f$ defined on a cobordism category whose morphisms are oriented $n+1$-manifolds perhaps with extra structure. Let $(M,\chi)$ be a closed oriented $n+1$-manifold $M$ with this…

We construct a noncommutative geometry with generalised `tangent bundle' from Fell bundle $C^*$-categories ($E$) beginning by replacing pair groupoid objects (points) with objects in $E$. This provides a categorification of a certain class…

We construct equivariant, string and leading order characteristic classes and Chern-Simons classes for certain infinite rank bundles associated to fibrations occurring in loop spaces, Gromov-Witten theory and gauge theory. Results include a…

In this paper, we aim to provide a notion of "relative objects", i.e. objects equipped with some sort of subobjects, in differential topology. In spite of active researches relating them, e.g. knot theory or the theory of manifolds with…
