Smooth Spaces #
Smooth spaces are sheaves on the site CartSp
; see https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/smooth+set.
Main definitions / results:
SmoothSp
: the category of smooth spaces, as the category of sheaves onCartSp
DiffSp.toSmoothSp
: the embedding of diffeological spaces into smooth setsSmoothSp.Γ
: the global sections functor taking a smooth space to the set of its pointsSmoothSp.concr
: the concretisation functor from smooth spaces to diffeological spacesDiffSp.reflectorAdjunction
: the adjunction betweenSmoothSp.concr
andDiffSp.toSmoothSp
turningDiffSp
into a reflective subcategory ofSmoothSp
TODO #
- discrete and codiscrete smooth spaces, corresponding adjunctions
- connected components functor

Morphisms of smooth spaces are simply morphisms of sheaves.
Equations
The embedding of diffeological spaces into smooth spaces.
Equations

Instances For
DiffSp.toSmoothSp
is fully faithful.
Equations

Instances For
The global sections functor taking a smooth space to its type of points. Note that this
is by no means faithful; SmoothSp
is not a concrete category.

Instances For
The diffeology on the points of a smooth space given by the concretisation functor.

SmoothSp.concr
is a left-adjoint. In particular, this means that it preserves colimits.
Diffeological spaces form a reflective subcategory of the category of smooth spaces.
Equations
- DiffSp.toSmoothSp.reflective = { toFull := instFullDiffSpSmoothSpToSmoothSp, toFaithful := instFaithfulDiffSpSmoothSpToSmoothSp, L := SmoothSp.concr, adj := DiffSp.reflectorAdjunction }

Instances For
One possible future target for formalisation: the smooth spaces Ω k
of smooth
k
-forms. Maps X → Ω k
correspond to smooth k
-forms on X
, so they can be used to
define differential forms and the De-Rham-cohomology on all smooth spaces.
Right now, one major obstactle to this is showing that pullbacks of smooth k
-forms along
smooth maps are smooth (i.e. the first sorry
); it requires showing that
AlternatingMap.compLinearMap
is a smooth function of f
and g
and that fderiv
is a smooth function of x
, but we have not yet even put a diffeology on the involved spaces
of continuous linear functions.
