Bifurcation from a manifold (Q3973676)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0723.00029.] The author considers the following problem: given a \(C^ \infty\)-map \(F:X\times A\to Y\) between Banach spaces, suppose \(F(x,0)=0\) for all \(x\in M\) where \(M\) is a submanifold of \(X\) with \(\dim M\geq 1\). What can we say about solutions \(x\in X\) to \(F(x,\mu)=0\), \(\mu\in A\) closed to \(M\) for small \(\| \mu\|\)? He mentioned the relation of this problem and the symmetry-breaking problems as background. Under some general assumptions (such as \(DF_ 0(x_ 0)\) is a Fredholm operator etc.), the problem can be reduced to the problem in the framework of singularity theory of \(C^ \infty\)-maps. The author describes global natures under generic local conditions by technique of singularity theory.
