Deformations of a Courant Algebroid E and its Dirac subbundle A have been widely considered under the assumption that the pseudo-Euclidean metric is fixed. In this paper, we attack the same problem in a setting that allows the…
This article is a summary of a series of papers to be published where I examine a special kind of geometric objects that can be defined in space-time --- five-dimensional tangent vectors. Similar objects exist in any other differentiable…
Principal angles are used to define an angle bivector of subspaces, which fully describes their relative inclination. Its exponential is related to the Clifford geometric product of blades, gives rotors connecting subspaces via minimal…
We give an introduction to the transalgebraic theory of simply connected log-Riemann surfaces with a finite number of infinite ramification points (transalgebraic curves of genus $0$). We define the base vector space of transcendental…
We derive a general expression for the deformation-gradient tensor by invoking the standard definition of a gradient of a vector field in curvilinear coordinates. This expression shows the connection between the standard definition of a…
We show that double Lie algebroids, together with a chosen linear splitting, are equivalent to pairs of 2-term representations up to homotopy satisfying compatibility conditions which extend the notion of matched pair of Lie algebroids. We…
A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commu-tative ring. A main tool for this study is the construction of a correspondence functor associated…
Tangent categories provide an axiomatic approach to key structural aspects of differential geometry that exist not only in the classical category of smooth manifolds but also in algebraic geometry, homological algebra, computer science, and…
We show that differential calculus (in its usual form, or in the general form of topological differential calculus) can be fully imdedded into a functor category (functors from a small category of anchord tangent algebras to anchored sets).…
A covariant functor from the category of mapping tori to a category of AF-algebras is constructed; the functor takes continuous maps between such manifolds to stable homomorphisms between the corresponding AF-algebras. We use this functor…
Drinfel'd double of Lie bialgebroids plays an important role in T-duality of string theories. In the presence of $H$ and $R$ fluxes, Lie bialgebroids should be extended to proto Lie bialgebroids. For both cases, the pair is given by two…
For a compact complex manifold, we introduce holomorphic foliations associated with certain abelian subgroups of the automorphism group. Such foliations are generalizations of holomorphic principal torus bundles. If there exists a…
Inspired by recent works of Zang Liu, Alan Weinstein and Ping Xu, we introduce the notions of CC algebroids and non asymmetric Courant algebroids and study these structures. It is shown that CC algebroids of rank greater than 3 are the same…
A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of…
The calculus of variations for lagrangians which are not functions on the tangent bundle, but sections certain affine bundles is developed. We follow a general approach to variational principles which admits boundary terms of variations.
We provide a method to compute the dimension of the tangent space to the global infinitesimal deformation functor of a curve together with a subgroup of the group of automorphisms. The computational techniques we developed are applied to…
We define Lie algebroids over infinite jet spaces and establish their equivalent representation through homological evolutionary vector fields.
We present a classification of transitive vertex algebroids on a smooth variety X carried out in the spirit of Bressler's classification of Courant algebroids. In particular, we compute the class of the stack of transitive vertex…
We define the notion of special Lagrangian curvature, showing how it may be interpreted as an alternative higher dimensional generalisation of two dimensional Gaussian curvature. We obtain first a local rigidity result for this curvature…
By studying the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis decomposition of cohomology operators (that is, derivations $D$ of the exterior algebra $\Omega (M)$ with $\mathbb{Z}-$degree $1$ and $D^2=0$), we describe new examples of Lie algebroid structures on…
