For each diffeological space, Iglesias-Zemmour introduced a natural topology called the $D$-topology. However, the $D$-topology has not yet been studied seriously in the existing literature. In this paper, we develop the basic theory of the $D$-topology for diffeological spaces. We explain that the topological spaces that arise as the $D$-topology of a diffeological space are exactly the $\\Delta$-generated spaces and give results and examples which help to determine when a space is $\\Delta$-generated. Our most substantial results show how the $D$-topology on the function space $C^{\\infty}(M,N)$ between smooth manifolds compares to other well-known topologies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-03-10T19:01:55.000Z", "comment": "v1: 13 pages; v2: 19 pages, includes proofs of conjectures from v1; v3: 18 pages, minor improvements to exposition", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v4", "updated": "2015-09-16T19:36:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57P99", "58D99", "57R99" ], "keywords": [ "diffeological space", "d-topology", "function space", "smooth manifolds compares", "well-known topologies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.2935C" } } }
