The exponential map of the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a surface with boundary

Abstract

We prove that the Riemannian exponential map of the right-invariant L2 metric on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a two-dimensional manifold with a nonempty boundary is a nonlinear Fredholm map of index zero.
