Tame Geometry with Application in Smooth Analysis

The Morse-Sard theorem is a rather subtle result and the interplay between the high-order analytic structure of the mappings involved and their geometry rarely becomes apparent. The main reason is that the classical Morse-Sard theorem is basically qu

Preface

This book presents results and methods developed during quite a long period of time and many people helped in this work. We would like to thank Y. Kannai for pointing out, in the very beginning of the work on quantitative transversality, the relevance of metric entropy. Since 1983 M. Gromov encouraged this research and helped us in many fruitful discussions of qualitative transversality and Semialgebraic Geometry in Dynamics and Analysis. We would like to thank him especially for suggesting a problem of quantitative Kupka-Smale, for his contribution to C k -reparametrization of semialgebraic sets and applications to dynamics, for providing a central (for this book) reference to Multidimensional Variations and to books of Vitushkin and Ivanov and for encouraging writing preliminary texts, which were used in this book. This book would not have be written without the help and encouragement of J. -J. Risler and B. Teissier and numerous fruitful discussions with them during all the long period of the book’s preparation. It i
