In 1969 M. Gromov in his PhD thesis greatly generalized Smale-Hirsch-Phillips immersion-submersion theory by proving what is now called the h-principle for invariant open differential relations over open manifolds. Gromov extracted the original geometric idea of Smale and put it to work in the maximal possible generali…
