Gauge groups and topological invariants of vacuum manifolds
We define the separatrices for pseudogroups of diffeomorphisms of open neighbourhoods of the origin in the complex plane and prove their existence for non solvable pseudogroups (Theorem 1). This extends a result by Shcherbakov (in [21]) accurately. Our method also applies to prove the topological rigidity theorem for generic pseudogroups attributed to Shcherbakov (dans [20]).
