Review text

The central question of this survey work, the starting point of which can be found in the \textit{S. Pnevmatikos}'s works concerning constraints on symplectic manifolds of finite dimension [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 289 A, 699-701 (1979; Zbl 0427.58001), C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. A 289, 799-802 (1979; Zbl 0411.53030) and Ann. Inst. Fourier 34, No. 3, 201-218 (1984; Zbl 0545.58021)], consists in whether it is possible to extend the results of S. Pnevmatikos to the case of symplectic Hilbert manifolds of infinite dimension. The author finds an answer to this question for the case of generic constraints that correspond to submanifolds of even finite codimension and, moreover, investigates the problem of constraints for pseudo Riemannian Hilbert manifolds, by generalizing \textit{F. Pelletier}'s results [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 296, 219-221 (1983; Zbl 0527.58005)]. These researches were based on the development of some necessary constructions on Banach fiber bundles on Hilbert manifolds: stratification of such fiber bundles which appear in the symplectic (respectively pseudo-Riemannian) geometry on Hilbert manifolds, classification of the transversal sections of the previous stratifications, construction of suitable models in the neighbourhood of their critical locus which will allow to describe their geometrical properties and characterization of the admissible Pfaffians for generic submanifolds of finite codimension (even for the symplectic case). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0867.00024].
