Also appears in collection : Joel Fish - sc-calculus

In this talk, we discuss the second of two fundamental analysis concepts polyfold theory is built on: sc-retracts. In particular, we discuss how they arise naturally as a means of using pre-gluing maps to parametrize a neighborhood of nodal and non-nodal (or broken and unbroken) maps near a nodal (or broken) map. Despite locally varying dimensions, such retracts support a version of the sc-calculus on which the chain rule holds, and we define M-polyfolds (manifold-like polyfolds) to be those topological spaces locally modeled on such retracts.
