About the Trimmed and the Poincare-Dulac normal form of diffeomorphisms

One of effective ways to solve the equivalence problem and describe moduli spaces for real submanifolds in complex space is the normal form approach. In this survey, we outline some normal form constructions in CR-geometry and formulate a number of open problems.

Diffeomorphism groups $G$ of manifolds $M$ on locally $\bf F$-convex spaces over non-Archimedean fields $\bf F$ are investigated. It is shown that their structure has many differences with the diffeomorphism groups of real and complex manifolds. It is proved that $G$ is not a Banach-Lie group, but it has a neighbourhood $W$ of the unit element $e$ such that each element $g$ in $W$ belongs to at least one corresponding one-parameter subgroup. It is proved that $G$ is simple ...

We propose a new approach to the theory of normal forms for Hamiltonian systems near a non-resonant elliptic singular point. We consider the space of all Hamiltonian functions with such an equilibrium position at the origin and construct a differential equation in this space. Solutions of this equation move Hamiltonian functions towards their normal forms. Shifts along the flow of this equation correspond to canonical coordinate changes. So, we have a continuous normalization...

The Poincare function is a compact form of counting moduli in local geometric problems. We discuss its property in relation to V.Arnold's conjecture, and derive this conjecture in the case when the pseudogroup acts algebraically and transitively on the base. Then we survey the known counting results for differential invariants and derive new formulae for several other classification problems in geometry and analysis.

Consider a strictly positively graded finitely generated infinite-dimensional real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. It has a well-defined Lie group $\overline{\mathbf{G}}$, which is an inverse limit of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups (a pro-unipotent group). Generally, representations (even finite-dimensional representations) of $\mathfrak{g}$ and actions of $\mathfrak{g}$ on manifolds do not admit liftings to $\overline{\mathbf{G}}$. There is a canonically defined dense s...

In this note we give a positive answer to a question asked by Y. Colin de Verdi\`ere concerning the converse of the following theorem, due to A. N. Varchenko: two germs of volume forms are equivalent with respect to diffeomorphisms preserving a germ of an isolated hypersurface singularity, if their difference is the differential of a form whose restriction on the smooth part of the hypersurface is exact.

In this revised version, applying a general renormalization procedure for formal self-maps, producing a formal normal form simpler than the classical Poincar\'e-Dulac normal form, we shall give a complete list of normal forms for bi-dimensional superattracting germs with non-vanishing quadratic term; in most cases, our normal forms will be the simplest possible ones (in the sense of Wang, Zheng and Peng). We shall also discuss a few examples of renormalization of germs tangen...

We discuss the local and global problems for the equivalence of geometric structures of an arbitrary order and, in later sections, attention is given to what really matters, namely the equivalence with respect to transformations belonging to a given pseudo-group of transformations. We first give attention to general prolongation spaces and thereafter insert the structures in their most appropriate ambient namely, as specific solutions of partial differential equations where t...

The article is devoted to the investigation of groups of diffeomorphisms and loops of manifolds over ultra-metric fields of zero and positive characteristics. Different types of topologies are considered on groups of loops and diffeomorphisms relative to which they are generalized Lie groups or topological groups. Among such topologies pairwise incomparable are found as well. Topological perfectness of the diffeomorphism group relative to certain topologies is studied. There ...

Differential calculus on metric spaces is contained in the algebraic study of normed groupoids with $\delta$-structures. Algebraic study of normed groups endowed with dilatation structures is contained in the differential calculus on metric spaces. Thus all algebraic properties of the small world of normed groups with dilatation structures have equivalent formulations (of comparable complexity) in the big world of metric spaces admitting a differential calculus. Moreover ...
