We extend the category of (super)manifolds and their smooth mappings by introducing a notion of microformal or "thick" morphisms. They are formal canonical relations of a special form, constructed with the help of formal power expansions in…
In 2014, Voronov introduced the notion of thick morphisms of (super)manifolds as a tool for constructing $L_{\infty}$-morphisms of homotopy Poisson algebras. Thick morphisms generalise ordinary smooth maps, but are not maps themselves.…
We introduce mappings between spaces of functions on (super)manifolds that generalize pullbacks with respect to smooth maps but are, in general, nonlinear (actually, formal). The construction is based on canonical relations and generating…
We give an explicit formula, as a formal differential operator, for quantum microformal morphisms of (super)manifolds that we introduced earlier. Such quantum microformal morphisms are essentially oscillatory integral operators or Fourier…
"Thick" or "microformal" morphisms of supermanifolds generalize ordinary maps. They were discovered as a tool for homotopy algebras. Namely, the corresponding pullbacks provide $L_{\infty}$-morphisms for $S_{\infty}$ or Batalin--Vilkovisky…
In differential geometry, the existence of pullbacks is a delicate matter, since the category of smooth manifolds does not admit all of them. When pullbacks are required, often submersions are employed as an ideal class of maps which…
In this paper, we introduce complex functional maps, which extend the functional map framework to conformal maps between tangent vector fields on surfaces. A key property of these maps is their orientation awareness. More specifically, we…
Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract…
The pull-back, push-forward and multiplication of smooth functions can be extended to distributions if their wave front set satisfies some conditions. Thus, it is natural to investigate the topological properties of these operations between…
We show that thick morphisms (or microformal morphisms) between smooth (super)manifolds, introduced by us before, are classical limits of `quantum thick morphisms' defined here as particular oscillatory integral operators on functions.
We recall the notion of a differential operator over a smooth map (in linear and non-linear settings) and consider its versions such as formal $\hbar$-differential operators over a map. We study constructions and examples of such operators,…
Tangent categories provide an axiomatic framework for understanding various tangent bundles and differential operations that occur in differential geometry, algebraic geometry, abstract homotopy theory, and computer science. Previous work…
We extend calculus from smooth manifolds to topological manifolds making use of a theory of generalized functions developed for this aim. Actually such extension fits into a boarder context: the universal construction of a site containing…
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…
We extend the deformation to the normal cone and tangent groupoid constructions from finite-dimensional manifolds to infinite-dimensional Banach and Fredholm manifolds. Next, we generalize the concept of Fredholm filtrations to get a more…
We construct a functorial pushforward homomorphism in geometric Hodge filtered complex cobordism along proper holomorphic maps between arbitrary complex manifolds. This significantly improves previous results on such transfer maps and is a…
We establish a relation between smooth 2-functors defined on the path 2-groupoid of a smooth manifold and differential forms on this manifold. This relation can be understood as a part of a dictionary between fundamental notions from…
We study generalised Taylor morphisms, functors which construct differential ring homomorphisms from ring homomorphisms in a uniform way, analogous to the Taylor expansion for smooth functions. We generalise the construction of the twisted…
We show that deformations of a surjective morphism onto a Fano manifold of Picard number 1 are unobstructed and rigid modulo the automorphisms of the target, if the variety of minimal rational tangents of the Fano manifold is non-linear or…
Deformation theory is treated for locally notherian formal schemes (non necessarily smooth). The cotangent complex is defined in the derived category through the homology localization functor. The basic properties and results of a…
