The weak Whitney topology in one global chart #
For maps between normed spaces, the weak Whitney C^n topology is the initial topology for all
iterated derivatives of order at most n, each regarded as a continuous map with the compact-open
topology. Thus a family converges precisely when every derivative converges uniformly on compact
sets (in the compact-open sense).
This is the global-chart building block for the weak Whitney topology on smooth maps between
manifolds. On a manifold, the same construction is applied to coordinate representatives on
compact subsets of chart domains. In particular, the n = ∞ instance below supplies the
chart-level topology used to topologize diffeomorphism groups.
We also characterize continuity of arbitrary families by their compact-open derivative maps.
When E is locally compact, this is equivalent to joint continuity of every spatial derivative;
no differentiability in the parameter is required for this characterization.

The construction follows M. Hirsch, Differential Topology, Graduate Texts in Mathematics 33, Chapter 2, §1, specialized to maps whose source and target each have one global chart.
The mth derivative of a bundled C^n map between normed spaces, bundled as a continuous
map. The bound m ≤ n is exactly what makes this derivative continuous.

The weak Whitney C^n jet of a bundled map is the family of its derivatives of every order
at most n, each bundled as a continuous map with the compact-open topology.

The weak Whitney C^n topology on bundled C^n maps between normed spaces. It is the
coarsest topology making the compact-open-valued derivative maps of every order m ≤ n
continuous.
Equations
Instances For
Bundled C^n maps between normed spaces carry the weak Whitney topology.
The full weak Whitney jet is continuous.
The mth derivative map from the weak Whitney C^n topology to the compact-open topology is
continuous.
Forgetting the derivatives is a continuous map from the weak Whitney C^n topology to the
compact-open topology on continuous maps. This is the order-zero derivative projection, followed
by the canonical identification of zero-linear maps with their values.
The weak Whitney jet remembers the original map: its derivative of order zero is the map itself, viewed as a zero-linear map.
The weak Whitney topology is exactly the topology induced by the full jet.
The full jet is a topological embedding of the weak Whitney map space into the product of its compact-open derivative spaces.
The weak Whitney topology on C^n maps between normed spaces is Hausdorff.
A family of C^n maps converges in the weak Whitney topology exactly when every derivative
through order n converges in the compact-open topology.
The weak Whitney convergence criterion written using compact-open subbasic sets: for every derivative order, compact set, and open target containing the limiting derivative on that compact, the derivatives of the family eventually have the same containment.
