Scalar relative invariants play an important role in the theory of group actions on a manifold as their zero sets are invariant hypersurfaces. Relative invariants are central in many applications, where they often are treated locally since…
We compute the cohomology of the right generalised projective Stiefel manifolds and use it to find bounds on the rank of the complementary bundle for certain vector bundles. Further the cohomology computations are also used to find bounds…
Given an abelian category and a stability condition satisfying appropriate conditions, we define generalized $K$-theoretic invariants and prove that they satisfy wall-crossing formulas. For this, we introduce a new associative algebra…
This paper deals with some basic constructions of linear and multilinear algebra on finite-dimensional diffeological vector spaces. We consider the diffeological dual formally checking that the assignment to each space of its dual defines a…
A noncommutative-geometric generalization of classical Weil theory of characteristic classes is presented, in the conceptual framework of quantum principal bundles. A particular care is given to the case when the bundle does not admit…
We define a notion of morphism for quotient vector bundles that yields both a category $\textit{QVBun}$ and a contravariant global sections functor $C:\textit{QVBun}^{\textrm{op}}\to\textit{Vect}$ whose restriction to trivial vector bundles…
We study generalized complex cohomologies of generalized complex structures constructed from certain symplectic fibre bundles over complex manifolds. We apply our results in the case of left-invariant generalized complex structures on…
We construct new stable vector bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on algebraic surfaces, which are parametrised by connected components of their moduli spaces. This work generalises aspects of our previous work on tautological bundles and…
A vector space is commonly defined as a set that satisfies several conditions related to addition and scalar multiplication. However, for beginners, it may be hard to immediately grasp the essence of these conditions. There are probably a…
We analyze a notion of multiple valued sections of a vector bundle over an abstract smooth Riemannian manifold, which was suggested by W. Allard in the unpublished note "Some useful techniques for dealing with multiple valued functions" and…
A Q-manifold is a graded manifold endowed with a vector field of degree one squaring to zero. We consider the notion of a Q-bundle, that is, a fiber bundle in the category of Q-manifolds. To each homotopy class of ``gauge fields'' (sections…
We show that the category of affine bundles over a smooth manifold M is equivalent to the category of affine spaces modelled on projective finitely generated C^\infty(M)-modules. Using this equivalence of categories, we are able to give an…
We develop an alternative view on the concept of connections over a vector bundle map, which consists of a horizontal lift procedure to a prolonged bundle. We further focus on prolongations to an affine bundle and introduce the concept of…
Vector fields with components which are generalized zero-forms are constructed. Inner products with generalized forms, Lie derivatives and Lie brackets are computed. The results are shown to generalize previously reported results for…
We present a group of transformations in the space of generalized connections that contains the set of transformations generated by the flux variables of loop quantum gravity. This group is labelled by certain SU(2)-valued functions on the…
Algebras of generalized functions offer possibilities beyond the purely distributional approach in modelling singular quantities in non-smooth differential geometry. This article presents an introductory survey of recent developments in…
A topological description of various generalized function algebras over corresponding basic locally convex algebras is given. The framework consists of algebras of sequences with appropriate ultra(pseudo)metrics defined by sequences of…
In this paper we give some properties of the algebraic and geometric structure of the endomorphisms monoid of a homogeneous vector bundle.
We study the topological duals of the Colombeau algebras $\Gc(\Om)$, $\G(\Om)$ and $\GS(\R^n)$, discussing some continuous embeddings and the properties of generalized delta functionals.
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
