Smooth surjections and surjective restrictions

Abstract: Given a surjective mapping

f : E o F

between Banach spaces, we investigate the existence of a subspace

G

of

E

, with the same density character as

F

, such that the restriction of

f

to

G

remains surjective. We obtain a positive answer whenever

f

is continuous and uniformly open. In the smooth case, we deduce a positive answer when

f

is a

C^{1}

-smooth surjection whose set of critical values is countable. Finally we show that, when

f

takes values in the Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{n}

, in order to obtain this result it is not sufficient to assume that the set of critical values of

f

has zero-measure.
