Abstract

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. The content of the previous versions is now covered by the more recent papers - math.DG/0610252 (concerning the Lie group structuren on the gauge groups) - math.DG/0612522 (concerning the weak homotopy equivalence) - math.AT/0511404 (concerning the homotopy groups of gauge groups)
