We review the geometric theory of \emp{smooth systems of smooth maps}, of \emp{smooth systems of smooth sections} of a smooth double fibred manifold and of \emp{smooth systems of smooth connections} of a smooth fibred manifold. Moreover, after reviewing the concept of \emp{F-smooth space} due to A. Frölicher, we discus…

Smooth families of biholomorphisms between strongly pseudoconvex domains are shown to be smooth.

On a compact, oriented, Riemannian manifold, the Hodge decomposition theorem associates a smooth primitive to any exact smooth form omega. In this paper, we show that given a smooth family of exact smooth forms omega(t), the family of associated primitives is also a smooth family with respect to t.

Using this invariant we can show that uncountably many smoothings of R^4 support no Stein structure. (Gompf has constructed uncountably many smoothings of R^4 which do support Stein …

In this note we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a conical pseudomanifold MM in terms of CC^\infty-rings of smooth functions on MM. For a finitely generated smooth structure C(M)C^\infty (M) we introduce the notion of the Nash tangent bundle, the Zariski tangent bundle, the tangent bundle of MM, and the …

However, the polygons must converge in a ``nice'' way, and th…
