Intersection modulo 2 theory for infinite dimensional manifolds?

For finite dimensional manifolds, there is a lot of theory about when the number of intersections (modulo $2$) of certain objects are preserved under homotopy. I'll give two quick examples: Let $f:X \...

Fredholm transversality

Let $M,N$ be two Banach or Hilbert manifolds. Assume that $P\subset N$ is a smooth submanifold of $N$. We say that a smooth map $f:M \to N$ is Fredholm transversal to $P$ if for every $x\in M$ with $f(...

A smooth map on a Banach manifold whose pointwise rank is finite but its rank is not globally bounded

Is there a connected Banach manifold $M$ and a smooth map $f:M \to M$ such that the rank of $Df_x$ is finite for every $x\in M$ but this rank is not uniformly bounded

Smooth derivations of a Banach space

Let $E$ be a real (or complex) Banach space. By $C^\infty(E) $ we mean the space of all functions $f:E\to \mathbb{R}(f:E\to \mathbb{C})$ which are smooth in the sense of Frechet diffetentiability. A ...

the tangent space $T_J\mathcal J^k$ of the space of $\omega$-compatible almost complex structure

Let $(M,\omega)$ is a symplectic manifold, and you can assume it is compact if necessary. Denote by $\mathcal J^k = \mathcal J^k(M, \omega)$ the set of all $\omega$-compatible almost complex ...

why is $W^{k,p}(\Sigma, u^*TM)$ the tangent space of $W^{k,p}(\Sigma,M)$ at $u$

Let $\Sigma$ and $M$ be two smooth manifolds with $\Sigma$ compact. It is a well-known fact that $W^{k,p}(\Sigma, u^*TM)$ is the tangent space of $W^{k,p}(\Sigma,M)$ at $u$. (You can replace these ...

Is $C^\nu(X,Y)$ a Banach manifold and a Lindelöf space?

Suppose that $X$ is a compact, finite dimensional manifold and $Y$ is an infinite dimensional, second countable ($C^\infty$-)Banach manifold. Let $\nu \in \mathbb{N}$. Question: Is the space $C^\nu(...

How are infinite-dimensional manifolds most commonly treated?

I originally posted this question on StackExchange, where it was suggested I post here. It was also suggested I read about Hilbert manifolds and Fréchet manifolds. Nevertheless, I am still looking for ...
