Some Properties of Differentiable Varieties and Transformations With Special Reference to the Analytic and Algebraic Cases

The present volume contains, together with numerous addition and extensions, the course of lectures which I gave at Pavia (26 September till 5 October 1955) by invitation of the «Centro Internazionale Mate­ matico Estivo». The treatment has the character of a monograph, and presents various novel fe...
