Abstract
1. A short introduction to convenient calculus in infinite dimensions.
2. Manifolds of mappings (with compact source) and diffeomorphism
groups as convenient manifolds
3. A diagram of actions of diffeomorphism groups 4. Riemannian geometries of spaces of immersions, diffeomorphism groups, and
shape spaces, their geodesic equations with well posedness results and vanishing geodesic
distance.
5. Riemannian geometries on spaces of Riemannian metrics and pulling them
back to diffeomorphism groups.
6. Robust Infinite Dimensional Riemannian manifolds,
and Riemannian homogeneous spaces of diffeomorphism groups.
We will discuss geodesic equations of many different metrics on these spaces and make contact to many well known equations (Cammssa-Holm, KdV, Hunter-Saxton, Euler for ideal fluids).
