A Global Diffeomorphism Theorem for Fr\'{e}chet spaces

Differential Geometry 2023-08-01 v2

Abstract

We give sufficient conditions for a Cc1 C^1_c -local diffeomorphism between Fr\'{e}chet spaces to be a global one. We extend the Clarke's theory of generalized gradients to the more general setting of Fr\'{e}chet spaces. As a consequence, we define the Chang Palais-Smale condition for Lipschitz functions and show that a function which is bounded below and satisfies the Chang Palais-Smale condition at all levels is coercive. We prove a version of the mountain pass theorem for Lipschitz maps in the Fr\'{e}chet setting and show that along with the Chang Palais-Smale condition we can obtain a global diffeomorphism theorem.
