We derive a class of variational functionals which arise naturally in conformal geometry. In the special case when the Riemannian manifold is locally conformal flat, the functional coincides with the well studied functional which is the…

Arguments on PL,(=piecewise linear) topology work over any ordered field in the same way as over the real field, and those on differential topology do over a real closed field R in an o-minimal structure that expands (R,<,0,1,+,cdot). One…

In this paper, we study geometric properties of quotient spaces of proper Lie groupoids. First, we construct a natural stratification on such spaces using an extension of the slice theorem for proper Lie groupoids of Weinstein and Zung.…

Three types of geometric structure---grid triangulations, rectangular subdivisions, and orthogonal polyhedra---can each be described combinatorially by a regular labeling: an assignment of colors and orientations to the edges of an…

In this paper we carry out analysis and geometry for a class of infinite dimensional manifolds, namely, compound configuration spaces as a natural generalization of the work \cite{AKR97}. More precisely a differential geometry is…

String structures have played an important role in algebraic topology, via elliptic genera and elliptic cohomology, in differential geometry, via the study of higher geometric structures, and in physics, via partition functions. We extend…

New splitting theorems in a semi-Riemannian manifold which admits an irrotational vector field (not necessarily a gradient) with some suitable properties are obtained. According to the extras hypothesis assumed on the vector field, we can…

The present paper mainly presents, for example, explicit classifications of compact smooth manifolds having non-empty boundaries and simple structures where the dimensions are general. Studies of this type is fundamental and important. They…

Poisson structures vanishing linearly on a set of smooth closed disjoint curves are generic in the set of all Poisson structures on a compact connected oriented surface. We construct a complete set of invariants classifying these structures…

We combine two recent ideas: cartesian differential categories, and restriction categories. The result is a new structure which axiomatizes the category of smooth maps defined on open subsets of $\R^n$ in a way that is completely algebraic.…

Concepts and techniques from the theory of G-structures of higher order are applied to the study of certain structures (volume forms, conformal structures, linear connections and projective structures) defined on a pseudo-Riemanniann…

We consider differentiable maps in the setting of Abstract Differential Geometry and we study the conditions that ensure the uniqueness of differentials in this setting. In particular, we prove that smooth maps between smooth manifolds…

This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…

We study geometric rigidity of a class of fractals, which is slightly larger than the collection of self-conformal sets. Namely, using a new method, we shall prove that a set of this class is contained in a smooth submanifold or is totally…
