AbstractWe classify the homotopy classes of proper Fredholm maps from an infinite-dimensional Hilbert manifold into its model space in terms of a suitable version of framed cobordism. Our construction is an alternative approach to the classification introduced by Elworthy and Tromba in 1970 and does not make use of further structures on the ambient manifold, such as Fredholm structures. In the special case of index zero, we obtain a complete classification involving the Caccioppoli–Smale mod 2 degree and the absolute value of the oriented degree.
