The closure of the space of homeomorphisms on a manifold. The piecewise linear case
We describe explicitly the group of transverse diffeomorphisms of several types of minimal linear foliations on the torus , . We show in particular that non-quadratic foliations are rigid, in the sense that their only transverse diffeomorphisms are and translations. The description derives from a general formula valid for the group of transverse diffeomorphisms of any minimal Lie foliation on a compact manifold. Our results generalize those of P. Donato and P. Iglesias for , P. Iglesias and...
We construct an infinite-dimensional real analytic manifold structure on the space of real analytic mappings from a compact manifold to a locally convex manifold. Here a map is defined to be real analytic if it extends to a holomorphic map on some neighbourhood of the complexification of its domain. As is well known, the construction turns the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms into a smooth locally convex Lie group. We prove that this group is regular in the sense of Milnor. ...
