Abstract

A Fréchet vector space is a complete topological vector space the topology of which may be defined by a countable set of pseudo-norms. A Fréchet manifold M (modelled on E) is a space locally homeomorphic to a Fréchet vector space E (E is called the model of M). (No differentiability structure is imposed on M).
