In this article we introduce a diffeomorphism-invariant Riemannian metric on the space of vector valued one-forms. The particular choice of metric is motivated by potential future applications in the field of functional data and shape…
The space of linear differential operators on a smooth manifold $M$ has a natural one-parameter family of $Diff(M)$ (and $Vect(M)$)-module structures, defined by their action on the space of tensor-densities. It is shown that, in the case…
We explore several notions of $k$-form at a point in a diffeological space, construct bundles of such $k$-forms, and compare sections of these bundles to differential forms. As they are defined locally, our $k$-forms can contain more…
We elucidate the vector space (twisted relative cohomology) that is Poincar\'e dual to the vector space of Feynman integrals (twisted cohomology) in general spacetime dimension. The pairing between these spaces - an algebraic invariant…
Isomorphisms of separable Hilbert spaces are analogous to isomorphisms of n-dimensional vector spaces. However, while n-dimensional spaces in applications are always realized as the Euclidean space R^n, Hilbert spaces admit various useful…
Diffeological spaces are natural generalizations of smooth manifolds, introduced by J.M.~Souriau and his mathematical group in the 1980's. Diffeological vector spaces (especially fine diffeological vector spaces) were first used by P.…
Several div-conforming and divdiv-conforming finite elements for symmetric tensors on simplexes in arbitrary dimension are constructed in this work. The shape function space is first split as the trace space and the bubble space. The later…
In this paper, we define locally convex vector spaces of weighted vector fields and use them as model spaces for Lie groups of weighted diffeomorphisms on Riemannian manifolds. We prove an easy condition on the weights that ensures that…
We study tangent spaces in the setting of diffeological spaces. Several distinct tangent functors have been introduced, each of which extends the classical tangent functor from smooth manifolds. In this paper, we construct infinitely many…
A linear F-manifold is an F-manifold (E, \circ , e) defined on the total space of a vector bundle \pi : E \rightarrow M for which the multiplication and unit field are linear tensor fields. We develop a systematic treatment of linear…
We investigate commutative analogues of Clifford algebras -- algebras whose generators square to $\pm1$ but commute, instead of anti-commuting as they do in Clifford algebras. We observe that commutativity allows for elegant results. We…
In this paper we study differential forms and vector fields on the orbit space of a proper action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold, defining them as multilinear maps on the generators of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms, respectively. This…
We provide a framework for the construction of diffeomorphism invariant sheaves of nonlinear generalized functions spaces. As an application, global algebras of generalized functions for distributions on manifolds and diffeomorphism…
We prove various results in infinite-dimensional differential calculus which relate differentiability properties of functions and associated operator-valued functions (e.g., differentials). The results are applied in two areas: 1. in the…
In this paper we introduce a new class of diffeomorphic smoothers based on general spline smoothing techniques and on the use of some tools that have been recently developed in the context of image warping to compute smooth diffeomorphisms.…
Estimating the coefficient functionals on various classes of holomorphic functions traditionally forms an important field of geometric complex analysis and its mathematical and physical applications. These coefficients reflect fundamental…
Two sets of spatially diffeomorphism invariant operators are constructed in the loop representation formulation of quantum gravity. This is done by coupling general relativity to an anti- symmetric tensor gauge field and using that field to…
This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has…
In this paper we study in details the properties of the duality product of multivectors and multiforms (used in the definition of the hyperbolic Clifford algebra of multivefors) and introduce the theory of the k multivector and l multiform…
We revisit tensor algebras of subproduct systems with Hilbert space fibers, resolving some open questions in the case of infinite dimensional fibers. We characterize when a tensor algebra can be identified as the algebra of uniformly…
