Normal form of equivariant maps in infinite dimensions (Q2076538)

The authors develop local normal form theorems for smooth equivariant maps between infinite-dimensional manifolds from the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for dynamical systems and by the Kuranishi method for moduli spaces. The abstract moduli spaces are obtained by factorizing a level set of the equivariant map with respect to the group action, and the moduli space has the structure of a Kuranishi space. The results are applied to the moduli space of anti-self-dual instantons, the Seiberg-Witten moduli space and the moduli space of pseudoholomorphic curves.
