Smooth manifolds are important objects in mathematics. But the category of smooth manifolds is not closed under many useful operations. In 1980, J. Souriau introduced a generalization of smooth manifolds called diffeological spaces, and the theory was further developed by P. Igleisas-Zemmour and others. Our goal is to develop a homotopy theory (also called a model category structure) on the category of diffeological spaces, which encodes the usual homotopy theory of smooth manifolds, and the bundle theory of Iglesias. This is work in progress with Dan Christensen
