The present text is a collection of notes about differential geometry prepared to some extent as part of tutorials about topics and applications related to tensor calculus. They can be regarded as continuation to the previous notes on…

Projective spaces for finite-dimensional vector spaces over general fields are considered. The geometry of these spaces and the theory of line bundles over these spaces is presented. Particularly, the space of global regular sections of…

The aim of these notes is to provide a reasonably short and "hands-on" introduction to the differential calculus on associative algebras over a field of characteristic zero. Following a suggestion of Ginzburg's we call the resulting theory…

These notes are designed for those who either plan to work in differential geometry, or at least want to have a good reason not to do it. We discuss smooth curves and surfaces -- the main gate to differential geometry. We focus on the…

In this survey paper we give an historical and at the same time thematical overview of the development of ring geometry from its origin to the current state of the art. A comprehensive up-to-date list of literature is added with articles…

The goal of this paper is to experiment new math concepts and theories, especially if they run counter to the classical ones. To prove that contradiction is not a catastrophe, and to learn to handle it in an (un)usual way. To transform the…

The projective line over a field carries structure of a groupoid with a certain correspondence between objects and arrows. We discuss to what extent the field can be reconstructed from the groupoid.

This article is concerned with a geometric tool given by a pair of projector operators defined by almost product structures on finite dimensional manifolds, polarized by a distribution of constant rank and also endowed with some geometric…

The purpose of this paper is to present projective geometry in a synthetic, visual and intuitive style through the central notion of harmonicity which leads to harmonic curves. This presentation includes new results, unpublished proofs of…

This text is a short but comprehensive introduction to the basics of supergeometry and includes some of the recent advances in colored supergeometry. We do not aim for a standard text that states results and proves them more or less…

We explore connections between birational anabelian geometry and abstract projective geometry. One of the applications is a proof of a version of the birational section conjecture.

We develop the basic theory of geometrically closed rings as a generalisation of algebraically closed fields, on the grounds of notions coming from positive model theory and affine algebraic geometry. For this purpose we consider several…

Distance Geometry is based on the inverse problem that asks to find the positions of points, in a Euclidean space of given dimension, that are compatible with a given set of distances. We briefly introduce the field, and discuss some open…

Starting from the concept that knowledge comes as element of mediation between the convergent thinking, founded on experience, and the divergent thinking, placed in the perceptive, intuitive, creative dimension, in this paper we want to…

From descent theory to higher geometry, the idea of gluing has been embedded in many elegant and powerful techniques, proving instrumental for the solution of many problems. In this paper, we introduce a framework that allows to link…

The generalized chain geometry over the local ring $K(\epsilon;\sigma)$ of twisted dual numbers, where $K$ is a finite field, is interpreted as a divisible design obtained from an imprimitive group action. Its combinatorial properties as…

Differential geometry may be generalized to allow infinitesimals to any order. The purpose of the present contribution is to show that the theory so developed expands received geometrical ideas in an interesting way, rich in potential for…
