Differentiable dynamical systems

This is a survey article on the area of global analysis defined by differentiable dynamical systems or equivalently the action (differentiable) of a Lie group G on a manifold M. An action is a homomorphism G→Diff(M) such that the induced map G×M→M is differentiable. Here Diff(M) is the group of all diffeomorphisms of M and a diffeo- morphism is a differentiable map with a differentiable inverse. Everything will be discussed here from the C ∞ or C r point of view. All manifolds maps, etc. will be differentiable (C r , 1 ≦ r ≦ ∞) unless stated otherwise.
