Calculus of variation on finite dimensional manifolds via exterior differential systems was expounded in the books of Sternberg, Bryant and Griffiths. Here we plan to extend the theory of exterior differential systems and study the applications to calculus of variation on Hilbert manifolds.

In this talk, I will give conditions that guarantee a spectral sequence is compatible with the action of an operad. A spectral sequence satisfying these compatibility conditions converges to an algebra over the same operad. I will focus on the topological setting, where spectral sequences will arise from a tower of topological spaces and maps. This talk will end with an enticing open problem.
