Consequently, every separable Riemannian manifold is uniformly bumpable. We also present some applications of this result, such as a general version for separable Riemannian manifolds of Deville-Godefroy-Zizler's smooth variational principle.10 pagesDifferential GeometryFunctional Analysis58E30, 58B20, 46T05, 53C20text
