Polyfold and Fredholm Theory

by Eduard Zehnder, Helmut Hofer, Krzysztof Wysocki

This book pioneers a nonlinear Fredholm theory in a general class of spaces called polyfolds. The theory generalizes certain aspects of nonlinear analysis and differential geometry, and combines them with a pinch of category theory to incorporate local symmetries. On the differential geometrical side, the book introduces a large class of smooth' spaces and bundles which can have locally varying dimensions (finite or infinite-dimensional). These bundles...
