We study differential $p$-forms on non-smooth and possibly fractal metric measure spaces, endowed with a local Dirichlet form. Using this local Dirichlet form, we prove a result on the localization of antisymmetric functions of $p+1$…

A classical result of A. Connes asserts that the Frechet algebra of smooth functions on a smooth compact manifold X provides, by a purely algebraic procedure, the de Rham cohomology of X. Namely the procedure uses Hochschild and cyclic…

We construct differential equivariant K-theory of representable smooth orbifolds as a ring valued functor with the usual properties of a differential extension of a cohomology theory. For proper submersions (with smooth fibres) we construct…

Skew-symmetric differential forms play an unique role in mathematics and mathematical physics. This relates to the fact that closed exterior skew-symmetric differential forms are invariants. The concept of "Exterior differential forms" was…

Let $f,g:M \rightarrow N$ be two maps between simply-connected smooth manifolds $M$ and $N$, such that $M$ is compact and $N$ is of finite $\mathbb{R}$-type. The goal of this paper is to use integration of certain differential forms to…

In this paper we consider a diffeomorphism $f$ of a compact manifold $M$ which contracts an invariant foliation $W$ with smooth leaves. If the differential of $f$ on $TW$ has narrow band spectrum, there exist coordinates $H _x:W_x\to T_xW$…

We introduce a new geometric structure on differentiable manifolds. A \textit{Contact} \textit{Pair}on a manifold $M$ is a pair $(\alpha,\eta) $ of Pfaffian forms of constant classes $2k+1$ and $2h+1$ respectively such that $\alpha\wedge…

Let $(M,F)$ be a Finsler manifold. We construct a 1-cocycle on $\Diff(M)$ with values in the space of differential operators acting on sections of some bundles, by means of the Finsler function $F.$ As an operator, it has several…

We interpret tensors on a smooth manifold M as differential forms over a graded commutative algebra called the algebra of iterated differential forms over M. This allows us to put standard tensor calculus in a new differentially closed…

We show how the tangent functor extends from ordinary smooth maps to "microformal morphisms" (also called "thick morphisms") of supermanifolds. Microformal morphisms generalize ordinary maps and correspond to formal canonical relations…

We describe an interpretation of the Kervaire invariant of a Riemannian manifold of dimension $4k+2$ in terms of a holomorphic line bundle on the abelian variety $H^{2k+1}(M)\otimes R/Z$. Our results are inspired by work of Witten on the…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold of dimension $2n$, and let $O_{M}$ be the dense open subbundle in $\wedge^{2}T^{\ast}M$ of $2$-covectors of maximal rank. The algebra of $\operatorname*{Diff}M$-invariant smooth functions of first order on…

A singular foliation $\mathcal F$ gives a partition of a manifold $M$ into leaves whose dimension may vary. Associated to a singular foliation are two complexes, that of the diffeological differential forms on the leaf space $M / \mathcal…

An L2 theory of differential forms is proposed for the Banach manifold of continuous paths on Riemannian manifolds M furnished with its Brownian motion measure. Differentiation must be restricted to certain Hilbert space directions, the…

A singular riemannian foliation F on a complete riemannian manifold M is said to admit sections if each regular point of M is contained in a complete totally geodesic immersed submanifold (a section) that meets every leaf of F orthogonally…

We characterise the link of derivatives in measure, which are introduced in [AKR,Card,ORS] respectively by different means, for functions on the space $\mathbb M$ of finite measures over a Riemannian manifold $M$. For a reasonable class of…

In this work we relate the known results about the homotopy type of classifying spaces for smooth foliations, with the homology and cohomology of the discrete group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth compact connected oriented manifold. The…

Let F be a global field and A its ring of adeles. Let G:=SL(2). We study the bilinear form B on the space of K-finite smooth compactly supported functions on G(A )/G(F) defined by the formula B (f,g):=B'(f,g)-(M^{-1}CT (f),CT (g)), where B'…
