This very important and useful paper concerns the analysis of multiplicity for a class of problems of calculus of variations on manifolds, which include some problems arising in nonlinear elasticity or in micromagnetism. The author develops an approach of geometrical and topological nature which enables the analysis of the structures of the sets of data admitting, respectively, one or several minimizers. Main result: The \(G_\delta\)-denseness of the data admitting a unique minimizer and the non-emptiness and the non-isolation of the set of data admitting several minimizers are established. Moreover, a geometrical characterization of the data entailing a loss of uniqueness is given. The precise proofs of the theorems, which are of geometrical and topological nature are proposed.
