Abstract
We define suitable Sobolev topologies on the space ${\cal C}_P(B_k,f)$ of connections of bounded geometry and finite Yang-Mills action and the gauge group and show that the corresponding configuration space is a stratified space. The underlying open manifold is assumed to have bounded geometry.
