On the smooth structure of the spaces of $k$-jets

I was asking myself, if the following list of conditions is sufficient to determine the usual smooth structure on the spaces of $k$-jets. the map $j^k f:M\ni x\to j_x^k f\in J^k(M,N)$ is smooth, for ...

Jet spaces between non Hausdorff manifolds

I found it very hard to find literature about smooth manifolds that are not required to be Hausdorff. In particular I'm interested in their local properties: 1.) Are the $r$-th order jet bundles $J^r(...
