some more details
Oct 26, 2010 at 2:21 comment added Ryan Budney In the comments above (before my "answer") I was looking for a specific question to answer. My response is specific to Kalinin's query about what the concept of co-dimension means, in the context of infinite-dimensional spaces. The space of knots sits in a big mapping space which has a natural stratification, but the definition of the stratification is by co-dimension, so the above is an attempt to clarify what co-dimension means in this situation.
Oct 26, 2010 at 1:54 comment added Dylan Thurston There should be some stronger statement saying that a neighborhood of this particular intersection looks like a transverse intersection divided into chambers, like R^n with its coordinate axes crossed with an infinite-dimensional manifold. Can this be phrased in the language above?
