We present a differential algebra of generalized functions over a field of generalized scalars by means of several axioms in terms of general algebra and topology. Our differential algebra is of Colombeau type in the sense that it contains…
We define the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions on a subset A of the space of d-dimensional generalized points. If the domain A is open, such generalized functions can be identified with pointwise maps from A into the ring of…

Starting from the Colombeau's full generalized functions, the sharp topologies and the notion of generalized points, we introduce a new kind differential calculus (for functions between totally disconnected spaces). We study generalized…
We construct a diffeomorphism invariant (Colombeau-type) differential algebra canonically containing the space of distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. Employing differential calculus in infinite dimensional (convenient) vector spaces,…
A recent variant of Colombeau algebras does not employ asymptotic estimates for its definition. We discuss how the concept of association with distributions transfers to this setting and why it still needs to be based on asymptotics.
We give an overview of the development of algebras of generalized functions in the sense of Colombeau and recent advances concerning diffeomorphism invariant global algebras of generalized functions and tensor fields. We furthermore provide…
Modelling of singularities given by discontinuous functions or distributions by means of generalized functions has proved useful in many problems posed by physical phenomena. We introduce in a systematic way generalized functions of…
We review our recent formulation of Colombeau type algebras as Hausdorff sequence spaces with ultranorms, defined by sequences of exponential weights. We extend previous results and give new perspectives related to echelon type spaces,…
It has recently been shown that generalized connections of the (A)dS space symmetry algebra provide an effective geometric and algebraic framework for all types of gauge fields in (A)dS, both for massless and partially-massless. The…
We define a general notion of set of indices which, using concepts from pre-ordered sets theory, permits to unify the presentation of several Colombeau-type algebras of nonlinear generalized functions. In every set of indices it is possible…
