Acknowledgement
This thesis would not have been possible without the support and assistance of some
people, whom I would like to thank here.
First of all, I thank my advisor Professor Dr. Helge Gl¨
ockner. In the past three years,
he was consistently at my disposal. He was a reliable partner and a big help for all my
questions. This project would not have been possible without his extreme dedication.
Furthermore, I am grateful for the support of the German Research Foundation (DFG),
who financed my work within the framework of the research project GL 357/7-1 and
allowed me to participate in many interesting conferences in Germany and abroad.
I also want to express my sincerest thanks to the members of the research group
“Unendlich-dimensionale Analysis und Geometrie” at the mathematics department of
the University of Paderborn. They provided a pleasant atmosphere and many interest-
ing discussions. We could always converse on high scientific level and mutually support
our research work.
Further thanks go to my family and my girlfriend for their support all this time. And last
but not least, I would like to thank my friends at the Technische Universit¨
at Darmstadt,
who accompanied and encouraged me the entire time. They always had an open ear for
my troubles and assisted me both with mathematical and technical help.
