There are several generalizations of smooth manifolds in the literature. Two of them are diffeological spaces [J. M. Souriau, Lect. Notes Math. None, 91–128 (1980; Zbl 0501.58010); in: Feuilletages et quantification géométrique, Journ. lyonnaises Soc. math. France 1983, Sémin. sud-rhodanien Géom. II, 73–119 (1984; Zbl 0541.58002)] and Chen spaces [K.-T. Chen, Ann. Math. (2) 97, 217–246 (1973; Zbl 0227.58003); Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 206, 83–98 (1975; Zbl 0301.58006); Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 83, 831–879 (1977; Zbl 0389.58001); Lect. Notes Math. 1174, 38–42 (1986; Zbl 0593.58004)]. Every Chen space has an underlying diffeology. It is shown (Theorem 6.5) that among the Chen structures with the same underlying diffeology there is a maximal one characterized by a property (called exhaustive), and the natural functor from exhaustive Chen spaces to diffeological spaces becomes an isomorphism of categories.
Another generalization is Sikorski spaces [R. Sikorski, Colloq. Math. 24, 45–79 (1971; Zbl 0226.53004)]. Both a diffeology and a Sikorski structure that determine each other are called reflexive. It is shown (Theorem 4.1) that closed convex sets are reflexive. It is also shown (Theorem 5.6) that any Sikorski space that is locally Sikorski diffeomorphic to closed convex subsets of cartesian spaces is reflexive.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1531.53005].
