Abstract

It is well-known that a function on an open set in Rd\mathbb R^d is smooth if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., its composites with all smooth curves are smooth. In recent work, we extended this and related results (for instance, a real analytic version) to suitable closed sets, notably, sets with H\"older boundary and fat subanalytic sets satisfying a necessary topological condition. In this paper, we prove that the resulting set-theoretic identities of function spaces are bornological isomorphisms with respect to their natural locally convex topologies. Extending the results to maps with values in convenient vector spaces, we obtain corresponding exponential laws. Additionally, we show analogous results for special ultradifferentiable Braun-Meise-Taylor classes.
