Geometry of Bounded Frechet Manifolds

Abstract

In this paper we develop the geometry of bounded Fr\'echet manifolds. We prove that a bounded Fr\'echet tangent bundle admits a vector bundle structure. But the second order tangent bundle $T^2M$ of a bounded Fr\'echet manifold $M$, becomes a vector bundle over $M$ if and only if $M$ is endowed with a linear connection. As an application, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the integral curve of a vector field on $M$
