Transitivity of automorphism group of smooth manifolds

Suppose $M$ is a connected smooth manifold and $x,y \in M$ are two points. Is there always a diffeomorphism $\phi: M \rightarrow M$ with $\phi(x)= y$ ?

Natural Transformations from the Tensor product of tangent bundle into the second order tang...

Short question with long title: Suppose $T$ is the tangent functor and $T^2:=T\circ T$ is the second order tangent functor. Are there natural transformations $T\otimes T \Rightarrow T^2$ ? I consid …

Criteria for Involutive Subbundles

Preliminaries: Let $M$ be a smooth manifold with tangent bundle $TM$. A vector subbundle $VM$ of $TM$ is called involutive if the section space $\Gamma(VM)$ of $VM$ is closed under the Lie bracket o …

Pullbacks and Inclusions of Smooth function algebras of manifolds.

Let $M$ and $N$ be two smooth finite dimensional manifolds and $C^\infty(M)$ as well as $C^\infty(N)$ their smooth function algebras. Is the following true: Let $\imath: M \to N$ be an embedding. Th …

Differential Calculus and the De Rham Homotopy Operator

Suppose $M$ is a smooth manifold, $\Omega^k(M)$ the vector space (or $C^\infty(M)$-module in case this is better suited) of $k$-differentialforms on $M$ and $$I: \Omega^k(M\times \mathbb{R}) \to \Ome …

Exercises around Diffeological Spaces or a Diffeologic Atlas Theory

Is there a Book or a bunch of exercises to get used to diffeological spaces from a practical point of view? It seems to me that papers on this topic are mostly concerned with their very good categoric …
