The Whitney topology is a specific topology that can be defined on the space of smooth maps (or differential functions) between two smooth manifolds, typically denoted as \(C^\infty(M, N)\), where \(M\) and \(N\) are smooth manifolds. The Whitney topology can also refer to the topology on a space of curves in a manifold, particularly when discussing the space of embeddings of one manifold into another.
