The paper has a form of a survey and consists of three parts. It is focused on the relationship between the many-sorted theory, which leads to logical geometry and one-sorted theory, which is based on the important model-theoretic concepts.…
Tangent categories offer a categorical context for differential geometry, by categorifying geometric notions like the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, vector bundles, connections, etc. In the last decade, the theory…
The aim of this article is to proof a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a Cartan connection on a principal bundle. After collecting the essentially well known facts to fix the terminology, soldering forms and…
Higher order relations existing in normal coordinates between affine extensions of the curvature tensor and basic objects for any Fedosov supermanifolds are derived. Representation of these relations in general coordinates is discussed.
We present a first exact study on higher-dimensional packing problems with order constraints. Problems of this type occur naturally in applications such as logistics or computer architecture and can be interpreted as higher-dimensional…
In this paper we introduce the concept of Abelian integrals in differential equations for an arbitrary vector bundle on $\P1$ with a meromorphic connection. In this general context we give an upper bound for the numbers we are looking for.
A gauge theory is associated with a principal bundle endowed with a connection permitting to define horizontal lifts of paths. The horizontal lifts of surfaces cannot be defined into a principal bundle structure. An higher gauge theory is…
We develop a generalized field space geometry for higher-derivative scalar field theories, expressing scattering amplitudes in terms of a covariant geometry on the all-order jet bundle. The incorporation of spacetime and field derivative…
This thesis develops the theory of bundle gerbes and examines a number of useful constructions in this theory. These allow us to gain a greater insight into the structure of bundle gerbes and related objects. Furthermore they naturally lead…
These notes survey the theory of (twisted) conformal blocks from an algebro-geometric perspective and have two main goals. The first one is to summarize the construction of conformal blocks from vertex operator algebras, and to describe…
In this paper, we study connected components of strata of the space of quadratic differentials lying over $\T_g$. We use certain general properties of sections of line bundles to put a upper bound on the number of connected components, and…
This ongoing project aims to define and investigate, from the standpoint of category theory, order theory and universal algebra, the notions of higher-order many-sorted rewriting system and of higher-order many-sorted categorial algebra and…
We define and study a certain category of vector bundles on a p-adic curve to which we can associate in a functorial way finite dimensional p-adic representations of the geometric fundamental group. Among other things we investigate two…
Networks are a fundamental model of complex systems throughout the sciences, and network datasets are typically analyzed through lower-order connectivity patterns described at the level of individual nodes and edges. However, higher-order…
Given a vector bundle $E$ of rank $r$ and degree $d$ on a curve $C$ of genus $g$, one can associate to $E$ in a natural way several other vector bundles. For example, one can take wedge powers of $E$. If $E$ is generated by global sections,…
The tangent bundle $T^kM$ of order $k$, of a smooth Banach manifold $M$ consists of all equivalent classes of curves that agree up to their accelerations of order $k$. For a Banach manifold $M$ and a natural number $k$ first we determine a…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how topology and geometry provide, in many instances, the connective tissue that enables logical comprehension. We illustrate this theme with many examples including Venn diagrams, knot diagrams,…
In fairly elementary terms this paper presents how the theory of preordered fuzzy sets, more precisely quantale-valued preorders on quantale-valued fuzzy sets, is established under the guidance of enriched category theory. Motivated by…
We introduce a convenient framework for constructing and analyzing orthogonal Thom spectra arising from virtual vector bundles. This framework enables us to set up a theory of orientations and graded Thom isomorphisms with good…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of motif closure and describe higher-order ranking and link prediction methods based on the notion of closing higher-order network motifs. The methods are fast and efficient for real-time ranking and…
