We continue the program of structural differential geometry that begins with the notion of a tangent category, an axiomatization of structural aspects of the tangent functor on the category of smooth manifolds. In classical geometry, having…

This paper develops the tools of formal algebraic geometry in the setting of noncommutative manifolds, roughly ringed spaces locally modeled on the free associative algebra. We define a notion of noncommutative coordinate system, which is a…

We outline a cohomological treatment for multivalued (classical) action functionals. We point out that an application of Takens' theorem, after Zuckerman, Deligne and Freed, allows to conclude that multivalued functionals yield globally…

The generalized vector is defined on an $n$ dimensional manifold. Interior product, Lie derivative acting on generalized $p$-forms, $-1\le p\le n$ are introduced. Generalized commutator of two generalized vectors are defined. Adding a…

This article is the second part in the series of articles where we are developing theory of valuations on manifolds. Roughly speaking valuations could be thought as finitely additive measures on a class of nice subsets of a manifold which…

In general terms, Gelfand duality refers to a correspondence between a geometric, topological, or analytical category, and an algebraic category. For example, in smooth differential geometry, Gelfand duality refers to the topological…

We study the globalization of partial actions on sets and topological spaces and of partial coactions on algebras by applying the general theory of globalization for geometric partial comodules, as previously developed by the authors. We…

It is interesting to know, how far we can generalize the notion of a group-valued cocycle keeping the property to determine a bundle. We find a generalization for pairs of cocycles and show how these generalized pairs of cocycles can still…

We study the relations between the triviality of the tangent bundle $TM$ and the generalized tangent bundle $\mathbb{T}M = TM\oplus T^*M$ of a manifold. We show that the generalized tangent bundle of a paralellizable manifold is trivial. We…

The configuration space of k points on a manifold carries an action of its diffeomorphism group. The homotopy quotient of this action is equivalent to the classifying space of diffeomorphisms of a punctured manifold, and therefore admits…

In connection with the classical Schwartz kernel theorem, we show that in the framework of Colombeau generalized functions a large class of linear mappings admit integral kernels. To do this, we need to introduce news spaces of generalized…

Motivated by the computations done in \cite{C1}, where I introduced and discussed what I called the groupoid of generalized gauge transformations, viewed as a groupoid over the objects of the category $\mathsf{Bun}_{G,M}$ of principal…

We construct a noncommutative geometry with generalised `tangent bundle' from Fell bundle $C^*$-categories ($E$) beginning by replacing pair groupoid objects (points) with objects in $E$. This provides a categorification of a certain class…

General covariance is a crucial notion in the study of field theories in curved spacetime. A field theory defined with respect to a semi-Riemannian metric is generally covariant if two metrics which are related by a diffeomorphism produce…

We extend the functional analytic approach to Colombeau-type spaces of nonlinear generalized functions in order to study algebras of tempered generalized functions. We obtain a definition of Fourier transform of nonlinear generalized…

Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold with corners and $N$ be a finite dimensional smooth manifold without boundary which admits local addition. We define a smooth manifold structure to general sets of continuous mapings $\mathcal{F}(M,N)$…

We introduce the notion of a generalized complex (GC) Stein manifold and provide complete characterizations in three fundamental aspects. First, we extend Cartan's Theorem A and B within the framework of GC geometry. Next, we define…

Recently, the forward-backward and Douglas-Rachford envelope functions were proposed in the literature. The stationary points of these envelope functions have a close relationship with the solutions of the possibly nonsmooth optimization…

We introduce an asymmetric operator of generalised translation, define the generalised modulus of smoothness by its means, and obtain the direct and inverse theorems in approximation theory for it.

The notion of a higher bundle gerbe is introduced to give a geometric realization of the higher degree integral cohomology of certain manifolds. We consider examples using the infinite dimensional spaces arising in gauge theories.
