Let X be a real Banach space with an unconditional basis (e.g., X=ℓ2
Hilbert space), Ω⊂X open, M⊂Ω a closed split real
analytic Banach submanifold of Ω, E→M a real analytic Banach vector
bundle, and {\Cal A}^E\to M the sheaf of germs of real analytic sections of
E→M. We show that the sheaf cohomology groups H^q(M,{\Cal A}^E) vanish
for all q≥1, and there is a real analytic retraction r:U→M from an
open set U with M⊂U⊂Ω such that r(x)=x for all x∈M. Some applications are also given, e.g., we show that any infinite
dimensional real analytic Hilbert submanifold of separable affine or projective
Hilbert space is real analytically parallelizable
