We show that a diffeological bundle gives rise to an exact sequence of internal tangent spaces. We then introduce two new classes of diffeological spaces, which we call weakly filtered and filtered diffeological spaces, whose tangent spaces…

We consider one possible definition of a diffeological connection on a diffeological vector pseudo-bundle. It is different from the one proposed in [7] and is in fact simpler, since it is obtained by a straightforward adaption of the…

We study tangent spaces in the setting of diffeological spaces. Several distinct tangent functors have been introduced, each of which extends the classical tangent functor from smooth manifolds. In this paper, we construct infinitely many…

A diffeological space is a set equipped with a smooth structure, known as a diffeology, which allows us to extend certain notions from manifolds to these more general spaces. We study a generalized notion of tangent space to a point of a…

We define a subcategory of the category of diffeological spaces, which contains smooth manifolds, the diffeomorphism subgroups and its coadjoint orbits. In these spaces we construct a tangent bundle, vector fields and a de Rham cohomology.

Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract…

Several methods have been proposed to define tangent spaces for diffeological spaces. Among them, the internal tangent functor is obtained as the left Kan extension of the tangent functor for manifolds. However, the right Kan extension of…

We review the basic definitions and properties concerning smooth structures, convenient spaces, diffeological spaces and tangent structures. The relation betwen them is described. A tangent structure is constructed for each pre-convenient…

Diffeological spaces are generalizations of smooth manifolds. In this paper, we study the homotopy theory of diffeological spaces. We begin by proving basic properties of the smooth homotopy groups that we will need later. Then we introduce…

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…

A tangent category is a category equipped with an endofunctor that satisfies certain axioms which capture the abstract properties of the tangent bundle functor from classical differential geometry. Cockett and Cruttwell introduced…

Diffeological spaces firstly introduced by J.M. Souriau in the 1980s are a natural generalization of smooth manifolds. However, optimization techniques are only known on manifolds so far. Generalizing these techniques to diffeological…

This paper explores a new perspective on the universality of the vertical lift in tangent categories by presenting a categorification of the dimension of smooth manifolds. The universality of the vertical lift is a key part of the axioms of…

Diffeological spaces are generalizations of smooth manifolds which include singular spaces and function spaces. For each diffeological space, Iglesias-Zemmour introduced a natural topology called the $D$-topology. However, the $D$-topology…
