   What does it mean that one smooth structure is stronger than another ?

   It implies the other.

   How does this relate to an ILH manifold?

   I have seen both permutations used. Which one is more standard?

   Format: MarkdownItex> It implies the other. Calling it "stronger" or "implies" or XYZ makes no difference to me. Do you have a matematical definition ? For me a smooth structure based on some local models is a maximal class of smoothly compatible atlases based on that class. I also do not understand what is a "sort" in this context (I know sorts in model theory and universal algebra only), as used in the idea section.

   Format: MarkdownItex"of sorts" means: "or alike". It's informal language. I don't feel like putting formal definitions into the entry now. It's a stub. Maybe somebody else feels inspired to have a go at it. I only wanted the references there to be linked to the term, for the moment..

    Format: MarkdownItexSmall edit to [[ILH manifold]]: ILH refers to the model spaces (ILH spaces), not the fact the manifold itself is an inverse limit of Hilbert manifolds. Though note Andrew's answer here: <http://mathoverflow.net/questions/74064/frechet-manifolds-vs-ilh-manifolds>. Apparently there is some subtlety in how the transition functions work, so an ILH manifold is a sort of hybrid beast.
