A general Fredholm theory I: a splicing-based differential geometry
We investigate the Banach manifold consisting of complex functions on the unit disc having boundary values in a given one-dimensional submanifold of the plane. We show that ∂/∂λ̅ restricted to that submanifold is a Fredholm mapping. Moreover, for any such function we obtain a relation between its homotopy class and the Fredholm index.
Let T ∈ L(E)ⁿ be a commuting tuple of bounded linear operators on a complex Banach space E and let be the non-essential spectrum of T. We show that, for each connected component M of the manifold of all smooth points of , there is a number p ∈ 0, ..., n such that, for each point z ∈ M, the dimensions of the cohomology groups grow at least like the sequence with d = dim M.
The paper discusses some aspects of Gromov’s theory of gluing complex discs to Lagrangian manifolds.
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.
Les groupes d’homotopie du groupe (stabilisé) des opérateurs pseudodifférentiels inversibles d’ordre zéro agissant sur une variété compacte sans bord sont calculés en termes de la -théorie du fibré cosphérique . Du même coup, on montre que le sous-groupe des perturbations compactes inversibles de l’identité est faiblement rétractile dans . Les résultats sont aussi adaptés au cas des opérateurs suspendus. Des applications à la théorie de l’indice et pour le déterminant résiduel de Simon Scott...
We discuss Fredholm pairs of subspaces and associated Grassmannians in a Hilbert space. Relations between several existing definitions of Fredholm pairs are established as well as some basic geometric properties of the Kato Grassmannian. It is also shown that the so-called restricted Grassmannian can be endowed with a natural Fredholm structure making it into a Fredholm Hilbert manifold.
In this paper we study Lipschitz-Fredholm vector fields on bounded Fréchet-Finsler manifolds. In this context we generalize the Morse-Sard-Brown theorem, asserting that if is a connected smooth bounded Fréchet-Finsler manifold endowed with a connection and if is a smooth Lipschitz-Fredholm vector field on with respect to which satisfies condition (WCV), then, for any smooth functional on which is associated to , the set of the critical values of is of first category in . Therefore,...
