Abstract

In this paper for a given Banach, possibly infinite dimensional, manifold M we focus on the geometry of its iterated tangent bundle T^rM, r ∈ N ∪ {∞}. First we endow T^rM with a canonical atlas using that of M. Then the concepts of vertical and complete lifts for functions and vector fields on T^rM are defined which they will play a pivotal role in our next studies i.e. complete lift of (semi)sprays. Afterward we supply T∞M with a generalized Fr´echet manifold structure and we will show that any vector field or (semi)spray on M, can be lifted to a vector field or (semi)spray on T∞M. Then, despite of the natural difficulties with non-Banach modeled manifolds, we will discuss about the ordinary differential equations on T∞M including integral curves, flows and geodesics. Finally, as an example, we apply our results to the infinite-dimensional case of manifold of closed curves.
