Let H 1 (S 1 ) be the space of periodic real functions with derivative in L 2 and f : R Ä R be a smooth function with no double roots. Then there is a diffeomorphism of H 1 (S 1 ) taking the set Z=[v # H 1 (S 1 ) | S 1 f(v(t)) dt=0] to a hyperplane. In this paper we state and prove a general version of this example. We consider a Banach space V of functions from some manifold M to R n$ and a function f: M_R n$ Ä R n : under suitable hypothesis, there is a homeomorphism of V taking

Let H 1 (S 1 ) be the space of periodic real functions with derivative in L 2 . The set Z=[v # H 1 (S 1 ) | S 1 v 2 (t) dt=1], at first sight, looks like a sphere: infinite dimensional topology (for which a good reference is [4]) tells us that the unit sphere is diffeomorphic to a hyperplane in Hilbert space. Actually, there is a diffeomorphism of H 1 (S 1 ) taking Z to a hyperplane. In this paper, we present a generalization of this example.
