Manifolds of mappings on Cartesian products

Abstract: Given smooth manifolds

M_{1}, l d o t s, M_{n}

(which may have a boundary or corners), a smooth manifold

N

modeled on locally convex spaces and

a l p h a i n ({m a t h b b N}_{0} c u p i n f t y)^{n}

, we consider the set

C^{a} l p h a (M_{1} i m e s c d o t s i m e s M_{n}, N)

of all mappings

f c o l o n M_{1} i m e s c d o t s i m e s M_{n} o N

which are

C^{a} l p h a

in the sense of Alzaareer. Such mappings admit, simultaneously, continuous iterated directional derivatives of orders

l e q a l p h a_{j}

in the

j

th variable for

j i n 1, l d o t s, n

, in local charts. We show that

C^{a} l p h a (M_{1} i m e s c d o t s i m e s M_{n}, N)

admits a canonical smooth manifold structure whenever each

M_{j}

is compact and

N

admits a local addition. The case of non-compact domains is also considered.
