Versal deformations in orbit spaces. (Q1426311)

According to the abstract the authors do the following things: ``Given an orbit space \(M/H\) and an equivalence relation defined in it by means of the action of a group \(G\), a miniversal deformation of an orbit ``through'' a miniversal deformation in \(M\) with regard to a suitable group action of the product group of \(G\) and \(H\) is obtained. Some applications to the perturbations of \(m\)-tuples of subspaces and \((C,A)\)-invariant subspaces are shown.'' The equivalence relation mentioned in the abstract not being found, the reviewer also misses equivalence classes in the definition of the orbit space, which is not correct. Moreover, the product defined on the product of \(G\) and \(H\) does not lead to a left action, which is used in the definition of ``versal''. The authors' assumption ``that the orbit space has a differentiable structure such that the natural projection is a submersion and that the actions of \(G\) and \(H\) on \(M\) are compatible'' does not give a fibre bundle structure, and -- perhaps consequently -- in the proof of the main theorem (2.3) they make use of ``local sections of the natural projection'', whatever this may be. Revision of the paper is recommended.
