With very minor assumptions, I show that periodic orbits in
an ODE can persist under (singular) perturbations of including a delay
term.  These perturbations change the phase space from finite to
infinite dimensions. The results apply to electrodynamics and give new
approaches to handle state-dependent, small, nested, and distributed
delays.

I will discuss and explain some motivations, the new methods, sketches
of the proofs, and possible applications. I will end the talk giving
some ideas of work in progress and possible future works.
