Degenerate critical points, homotopy indices and Morse inequalities. II.
The homotopy fiber of the inclusion from the long embedding space to the long immersion space is known to be an iterated based loop space (if the codimension is greater than two). In this paper we deloop the homotopy fiber to obtain the topological Stiefel manifold, combining results of Lashof and of Lees. We also give a delooping of the long embedding space, which can be regarded as a version of Morlet-Burghelea-Lashof's delooping of the diffeomorphism group of the disk relative to the boundary....
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 49J52, 49J50, 58C20, 26B09.We show that the properties of dense subdifferentiability and of trustworthiness are equivalent for any subdifferential satisfying a small set of natural axioms. The proof relies on a remarkable property of the subdifferential of the inf-convolution of two (non necessarily convex) functions. We also show the equivalence of the dense subdifferentiability property with other basic properties of subdifferentials such as a weak* Lipschitz...
On donne une condition suffisante explicite et générique pour qu’une forme de Pfaff à deux variables complexes ait ses feuilles denses tant localement que globalement.
Given a compact manifold and real numbers and , we prove that the class of smooth maps on the cube with values into is strongly dense in the fractional Sobolev space when is simply connected. For integer, we prove weak sequential density of when is simply connected. The proofs are based on the existence of a retraction of onto except for a small subset of and on a pointwise estimate of fractional derivatives of composition of maps in .
