摘要
We study the exponential map on Hilbert riemannian manifolds and show that on the free loop space Omega M-n = H-1(S-1, M-n) it is a nonlinear Fredholm map of index zero. Among corollaries we obtain that only one type of conjugate points exists in Omega M-n. This answers a question of W. Klingenberg.
