Let , let be a hypersurface of , be a submanifold of . Denote by the Levi form of at . In a previous paper [3] two numbers , are defined; for they are the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues for . For , , we show here that are still the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues for when restricted to . Applications to the concentration in degree for microfunctions at the boundary are given.
A homology theory of Banach manifolds of a special form, called FSQL-manifolds, is developed, and also a homological degree of FSQL-mappings between FSQL-manifolds is introduced.
We call a unital locally convex algebra a continuous inverse algebra if its unit group is open and inversion is a continuous map. For any smooth action of a, possibly infinite-dimensional, connected Lie group on a continuous inverse algebra by automorphisms and any finitely generated projective right -module , we construct a Lie group extension of by the group of automorphisms of the -module . This Lie group extension is a “non-commutative” version of the group of automorphism...
We give general sufficient conditions to guarantee that a given subgroup of the group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth or real-analytic manifold has a compatible Lie group structure. These results, together with recent work concerning jet parametrization and complete systems for CR automorphisms, are then applied to determine when the global CR automorphism group of a CR manifold is a Lie group in an appropriate topology.
Starting with some motivating examples (classical atlases for a manifold, space of leaves of a foliation, group orbits), we propose to view a Lie groupoid as a generalized atlas for the “virtual structure” of its orbit space, the equivalence between atlases being here the smooth Morita equivalence. This “structure” keeps memory of the isotropy groups and of the smoothness as well. To take the smoothness into account, we claim that we can go very far by retaining just a few formal properties of embeddings...
Endowing differentiable functions from a compact manifold to a Lie group with the pointwise group operations one obtains the so-called current groups and, as a special case, loop groups. These are prime examples of infinite-dimensional Lie groups modelled on locally convex spaces. In the present paper, we generalise this construction and show that differentiable mappings on a compact manifold (possibly with boundary) with values in a Lie groupoid form infinite-dimensional Lie groupoids which we...
