Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0733.00014.] The author studies the problem of finding conditions implying the (generic) existence of Morse functions in a prescribed family of \(C^ 1\) functions \(\{f_ a: M\to \mathbb{R}\}_{a\in A}\) on a (possibly infinite dimensional) Riemannian manifold. The main content of the paper refers to the following. In section 1 the author discusses the abstract result upon the genericity for the existence of Morse functions. In section 2 he presents an application of the abstract result in the case of the manifold of paths between a point and a compact submanifold. In section 3 a geometric description for the cellular structure of the above path space is given.
