Abstract
In the fall of 1966, Smale returned from the International Congress to spend a semester at the Institute for Advanced Study. I had just passed my general exams at Princeton and was looking into a possible thesis topic. As an undergraduate at Cornell, my interest in global nonlinear analysis was ignited by the entertaining and informative lectures of Jim Eells. It was, therefore, natural for me to look for a problem in this area.
