Let $M$ and $N$ be two topological manifolds. Denote by $[M,N]^{\text{diff}}$ and $[M,N]^{\text{cont}}$ the set of homotopy classes of differential and continuous maps respectively. Is it true that $[M,N]^{\text{diff}}=[M,N]^{\text{cont}}$ ? Any reference? Thank you. Edit: The reason that I am interested in this result is Thanks to understand the classification of differential fiber bundle. Consider the differential fiber bundles with fiber $F$, base $B$ and structure group $\text{Diff}^+(F)$. Is comments below, I should ask whether it true that the isomorphism classes of such differential fiber bundles form the set $[B, \text{BDiff}^+(F)]^{cont}$ ? Let me make the notations clear. $\text{Diff}^+(F)$ is the orientation preserved diffeomorphism group of true when $F$. M$ and $\text{BDiff}^+(F)$ is the classifying space. Isomorphism of two differential bundle means there is a diffeomorphism between the total spaces which commutes with the bundle mapsN$ are differentiable manifolds. |
