    Summary
    We adapt the principle of auxiliary space preconditioning as presented in [J. Xu, The auxiliary space method and optimal multigrid preconditioning techniques for unstructured grids, Computing, 56 (1996), pp. 215-235.] to H (curl; ω)-elliptic variational problems discretized by means of edge elements. The focus is on theoretical analysis within the abstract framework of subspace correction. Employing a Helmholtz-type splitting of edge element vector fields we can establish asymptotic h-uniform optimality of the preconditioner defined by our auxiliary space method
