Overview

The inverse function theorem for Banach spaces is ubiquitous in nonlinear analysis and differential geometry. Its usage is however limited to situations where there is no loss of derivatives, that is, where one may choose function spaces of a fixed regularity in which the linearised problem can be solved. The Nash-Moser theorem is an inverse function theorem that can deal with a loss of derivatives and is commonly formulated on spaces of smooth functions (or more generally on Frechet spaces). In the seminar we will discuss and prove a version of the Nash-Moser theorem and explore some situations where its usage is/is not warranted. We'll also explore an application of the ideas behind the Nash-Moser theorem to Hamiltonian mechanics and discuss a version of the celebrated KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) theorem.
