Abstract
We prove that the path space of a differentiable manifold is diffeomorphic to a Fr\'echet space, endowing the path space with a linear structure. Furthermore, the base point preserving mapping space consisting of maps from a cube to a differentiable manifold is also diffeomorphic to a Fr\'echet space. As a corollary of a more general theorem, we prove that the path fibration becomes a fibre bundle for manifolds M. Additionally, we discuss the mapping space from a compact topological space to a differentiable manifold, demonstrating that this space admits the structure of a smooth Banach manifold.
