"A hard inverse function theorem"
(Mathematisches Kolloquium)
Abstract:
Classically, inverse function theorems are in finite-dimensional spaces,
or in Banach spaces. It is well known that this framework is
insufficient in many important cases, for instance when one deals with
PDEs instead of ODEs. In such cases, one needs an inverse function
theorem in C^/infty, which is a Fréchet space. Such theorems are called
"hard" inverse function theorems; the first one is due to John Nash, and
the method was clarified and extended by Jurgen Moser. There have been
many variants since then, but all rely on the Newton approximation
scheme, where the quadratic convergence overcomes the loss of
derivatives. In this talk, I will review the general framework and
describe a new result due to Éric Séré, Jacques Fejoz and myself, which
does not use the Newton method.
