 \section{Introduction}
+
+With applications in numerous fields of geometry and mathematical physics, such
+as the calculus of variations and the study of harmonic functions, the study of
+infinite-dimensional manifolds has proven itself a remarkbly powerful tool.
+Known as \emph{global analysis}, or sometimes \emph{non-linear functional
+analysis}, the field of study dedicated to the understanding of such manifolds
+has seen remarble progress in the past several decades.
+
+Besides the study of Banach Lie groups and algebras, the primary motivation
+behind the study of infinite-dimensional manifolds is the fact that they
+provide a framework to attack local problems regarding maps between manifolds
+by means of global tools -- hence the name ``\emph{global} analysis''.
+Explicitly, by endowing certain function spaces with differential structures we
+may translate local questions about this maps to global questions about such
+manifolds. 
+
+At first it may seem like this has nothing to do with infinite-dimensional
+manifolds, but in practice carying out the process of assigning a meaningful
+differential strucutre to a function space usually requires us to drop the
+assumption of finite-dimensionality. In this notes we hope to provide a very
+breif introduction to the field of global analysis by exploring a concrete
+example of the program described in the above: we study the differential
+structure of the Banach manifold \(H^1(I, M)\) of class \(H^1\) curves in a
+complete finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold \(M\). 
+
+In section~\ref{sec:structure} we will describe the differential structure of
+\(H^1(I, M)\) and its canonical Riemannian metric. In
+section~\ref{sec:aplications} we describe several applications to variational
+calculus and in particular the study of the geodesics of \(M\). Bofore moving
+to the next section, however, we would like to review the basics of the theory
+of Banach manifolds. 
+
+\subsection{Banach Manifolds}
+
+While it is certainly true that Banach spaces can look alian to someone who has
+never ventured outside of the realms of Euclidean space, Banach manifolds are
+surprisingly similar to their finite-dimensional counterparts. As we'll soon
+see, most of the usual tools of differential geommetry can be quite easily
+translated to the realm of Banach manifolds\footnote{The real difficulties with
+Banach manifolds only show up while proving certain results, and are maily due
+to complications regarding the fact that not all closed subspaces of a Banach
+space have a closed complement}. The reason behind this is simple: it turns out
+that calculus has nothing to do with \(\RR^n\). 
+
+What we mean by this last statement is that none of the fundamental ingrediants
+of calculus in \(\RR^n\), namely the fact that it is a complete normed space,
+are specific to \(\RR^n\). In fact, the ingrediants previously described are
+precisely the features of a Banach space. Thus we may naturally generalize
+calculus to arbitrary Banach spaces, and consequently generalize smooth
+manifolds to spaces modeled after Banach spaces. We begin by the former.
+
+\begin{definition}
+  Let \(V\) and \(W\) be Banach manifolds and \(U \subset V\) be an open
+  subset. A continuous map \(f : U \to W\) is called \emph{differentiable at
+  \(p \in U\)} if there exists a continuous linear operator \(d f_p \in
+  \mathscr{B}(V, W)\) such that
+  \[
+    \frac{\norm{f(p + h) - f(p) - d f_p h}}{\norm{h}} \to 0
+  \]
+  as \(h \to 0\) in \(U\).
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{definition}
+  Given Banach spaces \(V\) and \(W\) and an open subset \(U \subset V\), a
+  continuous map \(f : U \to W\) is called \emph{differentiable of class
+  \(C^1\)} if \(f\) is differentiable at \(p\) for all \(p \in U\) and the
+  derivative map
+  \begin{align*}
+    df: U & \to     \mathscr{B}(V, W) \\
+        p & \mapsto d f_p
+  \end{align*}
+  is continuous. Since \(\mathscr{B}(V, W)\) is a Banach space under the
+  operator norm, we may recursively define functions of class \(C^n\) for \(n >
+  1\): a function \(f : U \to W\) of class \(C^n\) is called
+  \emph{differentiable of class \(C^{n + 1}\)} if the map
+  \[
+    d^n f : 
+    U \to \mathscr{B}(V, \mathscr{B}(V, \cdots \mathscr{B}(V, W)))
+    \cong \mathscr{B}(V^{\otimes n}, W)
+    \footnote{Here we consider the \emph{projective tensor product} of Banach
+    spaces. See \cite[ch.~1]{klingenberg}.}
+  \]
+  is of class \(C^1\). Finally, a map \(f : U \to W\) is called
+  \emph{differentiable of class \(C^\infty\)} or \emph{smooth} if \(f\) is of
+  class \(C^n\) for all \(n > 0\).
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{lemma}\label{thm:chain-rule}
+  Given Banach spaces \(V_1\), \(V_2\) and \(V_3\), open subsets \(U_1 \subset
+  V_1\) and \(U_2 \subset V_2\) and two smooth maps \(f : U_1 \to U_2\) and \(g
+  : U_2 \to V_3\), the composition map \(g \circ f : U_1 \to V_3\) is smooth
+  and its derivative is given by
+  \[
+    (d g \circ f)_p = d g_{f(p)} \circ d f_p
+  \]
+\end{lemma}
+
+As promised, this simple definitions allows us to expand the usual tools of
+differential geometry to the infinite-dimensional setting. In fact, in most
+cases it suffices to straight up copy the definition of the finite-dimensional
+case. For instance, as in the finite-dimensional case we may call a map \(M \to
+N\) between Banach manifolds \(M\) and \(N\) \emph{smooth} if it can be locally
+expressed as a smooth function between open subsets of the model spaces. As
+such, we will only provide the most important definitions: those of a Banach
+manifold and its tangent space at a given point. Complete accounts of the
+subject can be found in \cite[ch.~1]{klingenberg} \cite[ch.~2]{lang}.
+
+\begin{definition}\label{def:banach-manifold}
+  A Banach manifold \(M\) is a Hausdorff topological space endowed with a
+  maximal atlas \(\{(U_i, \varphi_i)\}_i\), i.e. an open cover \(\{U_i\}_i\) of
+  \(M\) and homeomorphisms \(\varphi_i : U_i \to \varphi_i(U_i) \subset V_i\)
+  -- known as \emph{charts} -- where
+  \begin{enumerate}
+    \item Each \(V_i\) is a Banach space
+    \item For each \(i\) and \(j\), \(\varphi_i \circ \varphi_j^{-1} :
+      \varphi_j(U_i \cap U_j) \subset V_j \to \varphi_i(U_i \cap U_j) \subset
+      V_i\) is a smooth map
+    \item \(\{(U_i, \varphi_i)\}_i\) is maximal with respect to the items above
+  \end{enumerate}
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{definition}
+  Given a Banach manifold \(M\) with maximal atlas \(\{(U_i, \varphi_i)\}_i\)
+  and \(p \in M\), the tangent space \(T_p M\) of \(M\) at \(p\) is the
+  quotient of the space \(\{ \gamma : (- \epsilon, \epsilon) \to M \mid \gamma
+  \ \text{is smooth}, \gamma(0) = p \}\) by the equivalence relation that
+  identifies two curves \(\gamma\) and \(\eta\) such that 
+  \((\varphi_i \circ \gamma)'(0) = (\varphi_i \circ \eta)'(0)\) for all \(i\)
+  with \(p \in U_i\).
+  The space \(T_p M\) is a topological vector space isomorphic to \(V_i\) for
+  each \(i\) with \(p \in U_i\): each chart \(\varphi_i : U_i \to M\) induces a
+  norm in \(T_p M\)\footnote{In general $T_p M$ is not a normed space, since
+  the norms induced by two distinct choices of chard need not to coincide.
+  However, since all $V_i$'s are isomorphic as Banach spaces this norms are
+  all mutually equivalent, so that they define a (unique) topology in $T_p M$.}
+  given by the pullback of the norm of \(V_i\) through the linear isomorphism
+  \begin{align*}
+    \phi_i :    T_p M & \isoto  V_i                          \\
+             [\gamma] & \mapsto (\varphi_i \circ \gamma)'(0)
+  \end{align*}
+\end{definition}
+
+Notice that a single Banach manifold may be ``modeled after'' multible Banach
+spaces, in the sense that the \(V_i\)'s of definition~\ref{def:banach-manifold}
+may vary with \(i\). Lemma~\ref{thm:chain-rule} implies that for each \(i\) and
+\(j\) with \(p \in U_i \cap U_j\), \((d \varphi_i \circ
+\varphi_j^{-1})_{\varphi_j(p)} : V_j \to V_i\) is a continuous linear
+isomorphism, so that we may assume that each connected component of \(M\) is
+modeled after a single Banach space \(V\). It is sometimes conviniant, however,
+to allow ourselves the more leniant notion of Banach manifold aforded by
+definition~\ref{def:banach-manifold}.
+
+We should also note that some authors assume that the \(V_i\)'s are
+\emph{separable} Banach spaces, in which case the assumption that \(M\) is
+Hausdorff is redundant. Although we are primarily interested in manifolds
+modeled after separable spaces, in the interest of afording ourselves a greater
+number of examples we will \emph{not} assume the \(V_i\)'s to be separable --
+unless explicitly stated otherwise. Speaking of examples\dots
+
+\begin{example}
+  Any Banach space \(V\) can be seen as a Banach manifold with atlas given by
+  \(\{(V, \id : V \to V)\}\) -- sometimes called \emph{an affine Banach
+  manifold}. In fact, any open subset \(U \subset V\) of a Banach space \(V\)
+  is a Banach manifold under a global chart \(\id : U \to V\).
+\end{example}
+
+\begin{example}
+  The group of units \(A^\times\) of a Banach algebra \(A\) is an open subset,
+  so that it constitutes a Banach manifold modeled after \(A\). In particular,
+  given a Banach space \(V\) the group \(\GL(V)\) of continuous linear
+  isomorphisms \(V \to V\) is a -- possibly non-separable -- Banach manifold
+  modeled after the space \(\mathscr{B}(V) = \mathscr{B}(V, V)\) under the
+  operator norm: \(\GL(V) = \mathscr{B}(V)^\times\).
+\end{example}
+
+\begin{example}
+  Given a complex Hilbert space \(H\), the space \(\operatorname{U}(H)\) of
+  unitary operators \(H \to H\) -- endowed with the topology of the operator
+  norm -- is a Banach manifold modeled after the closed subspace
+  \(\mathfrak{u}(H) \subset \mathscr{B}(H)\) of continuous skew-symmetric
+  operators \(H \to H\) \cite[p.~4]{unitary-group-strong-topology}.
+\end{example}
+
+This last two examples are examples of Banach Lie groups -- i.e. Banach
+manifolds endowed with a group structure whose group operations are smooth.
+
