For every Banach space X, denote by GL(X) the linear group of X, i.e. the group of all linear continuous invertible operators on X with the topology induced by the operator norm. One says that GL(X) is contractible to a point if there exists a continuous map F: GL(X) × [0, 1] → GL(X) such that F(A,0) = A and F(A, 1) = Id, for every A ∈ GL(X).

This chapter examines the simplifications occurring in the proof of the main theorem in the smooth case. It begins by stating the theorem about the existence of an F-definable homotopy h : I × unit vector X → unit vector X and the properties for h. It then presents the proof, which depends on two lemmas. The first recaps the proof of Theorem 11.1.1, but on a Zariski dense open set V₀ only. The second uses smoothness to enable a stronger form of inflation, serving to move into V₀. The chapter also considers the birational character of the definable homotopy type in Remark 12.2.4 concerning a birational invariant.
