We study the action of the diffeomorphism group $\Diff(M)$ on the space of proper immersions $\Imm_{\text{prop}}(M,N)$ by composition from the right. We show that smooth transversal slices exist through each orbit, that the quotient space…
The existence of a model structure on the category $\mathcal{D}$ of diffeological spaces is crucial to developing smooth homotopy theory. We construct a compactly generated model structure on the category $\mathcal{D}$ whose weak…
We introduce a spherical variant of Milnor's classifying construction for diffeological groups, based on quadratic normalization of barycentric coordinates. This construction gives rise to a contractible diffeological space endowed with…
This paper deals with some basic constructions of linear and multilinear algebra on finite-dimensional diffeological vector spaces. We consider the diffeological dual formally checking that the assignment to each space of its dual defines a…
A classical result in differential geometry states that for a free and proper Lie group action, the quotient map to the orbit space induces an isomorphism between the de Rham complex of differential forms on the orbit space and the basic…
We develop a geometric framework for generalized Milnor classifying spaces in the setting of diffeological spaces and infinite-dimensional geometry. Starting from Milnor's construction, we introduce spherical and projective models endowed…
We introduce a class of diffeological spaces, called elastic, on which the left Kan extension of the tangent functor of smooth manifolds defines an abstract tangent functor in the sense of Rosicky. On elastic spaces there is a natural…
We consider certain groups of tree automorphisms as so-called diffeological groups. The notion of diffeology, due to Souriau, allows to endow non-manifold topological spaces, such as regular trees that we look at, with a kind of a…
We investigate the correspondence between the geometry of a smooth compact Lie group action on a manifold $\mathrm{M}$ and the intrinsic smooth structure of the orbit space $\mathrm{M}/\mathrm{G}$. While the action on $\mathrm{M}$ is…
This paper investigates spaces equipped with a family of metric-like functions satisfying certain axioms. These functions provide a unified framework for defining topology, uniformity, and diffeology. The framework is based on a family of…
Tangent categories provide an axiomatic framework for understanding various tangent bundles and differential operations that occur in differential geometry, algebraic geometry, abstract homotopy theory, and computer science. Previous work…
We show, by an elementary and explicit construction, that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain symplectic manifolds, endowed with Hofer's metric, contains subgroups quasi-isometric to Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension.
We introduce a nonstandard extension of the category of diffeological spaces, and demonstrate its application to the study of generalized functions. Just as diffeological spaces are defined as concrete sheaves on the site of Euclidean open…
We show that the differential structure of the orbit space of a proper action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold is continuously reflexive. This implies that the orbit space is a differentiable space in the sense of Smith, which ensures…
A smooth manifold hosts different types of submanifolds, including embedded, weakly-embedded, and immersed submanifolds. The notion of an immersed submanifold requires additional structure (namely, the choice of a topology); when this…
We present some features of the smooth structure, and of the canonical stratification on the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid. One of the main features is that of Morita invariance of these structures - it allows us to talk about the…
Motivated by problems in which data are given over covering generating families, we suggest a new cohomology theory for diffeological spaces, called diffeological \v{C}ech cohomology, which is an exact $ \partial $-functor of the section…
By utilizing the idea of Colombeau's generalized function, we introduce a notion of asymptotic map between arbitrary diffeological spaces. The category consisting of diffeological spaces and asymptotic maps is enriched over the category of…
This paper provides a diffeomorphism classification of smooth manifolds homeomorphic to the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^m$ for $m \in \{5, 6, 7, 8\}$. The classification is obtained by computing the group of concordance classes of…
Given a Lie groupoid, we can form its orbit space, which carries a natural diffeology. More generally, we have a quotient functor from the Hilsum-Skandalis category of Lie groupoids to the category of diffeological spaces. We introduce the…
