Abstract: The space of smooth sections of a bundle over a compact smooth manifold $K$ can be equipped with a manifold structure, called an $A$ -manifold, where $A$ represents the Fréchet algebra of real valued smooth functions on $K$ . We prove that the $A$ -manifold structure characterizes the spaces of sections of bundles over $K$ and its open subspaces. We also describe the $A^{(r)}$ -maps between $A$ -manifolds.
