Jul 30, 2015 at 9:50 comment added uro Thanks again for your help. Maybe I can ask one last question. In the notes you linked me, the $C^\infty$ structure on $C^k(M,N)$ is consctructed like that: Pick $f\in C^\infty(M,N)$, then use the exponential map to construct a chart $x_f:U_f\rightarrow V_f$ where $U_f$ is a neighborhood of $f$ in $C^k(M,N)$. Then it is shown that for another $g\in C^\infty (M,N)$, the transition maps $x_f\circ x_g^{-1}$ are smooth. Other sources I found seem to indicate that this works aswell for $f,g \in C^k(M,N)$, i.e. for $f,g \in C^k(M,N)$ the transtion map $x_f\circ x_g^{-1}$ is smooth. Is that true?

Jul 29, 2015 at 13:29 comment added uro Thanks, that helped a lot! I have a follow-up question, maybe you (or someone else) can help me with it: Can the tangent bundle of the smooth banach manifold $C^k(M,N)$ be realised as $\bigcup_{f\in C^k(M,N)}C^k(f^*TN)\rightarrow C^k(M,N)$ where a $C^k$-section $X\in C^k(f^*TN)$ is mapped to $f$? If so, what's the idea to prove that?
Jul 28, 2015 at 16:23 comment added Andy Sanders Let me refine that by saying that I don't think there is any mention of the compact-open topology there, just so I don't send you on a wild goose chase. Nonetheless, you'll find the proof that it is a smooth Banach manifold.
