It is shown that any dynamic equation on a configuration bundle $Q\to R$ of non-relativistic time-dependent mechanics is associated with connections on the affine jet bundle $J^1Q\to Q$ and on the tangent bundle $TQ\to Q$. As a consequence,…
In this review I summarise the status of observational research into relativistic jets from X-ray binaries, highlighting four areas in particular: (i) How relativistic are the jets ?, (ii) The disc : jet coupling, (iii) the nature of the…
In this Note, we propose a line bundle approach to odd-dimensional analogues of generalized complex structures. This new approach has three main advantages: (1) it encompasses all existing ones; (2) it elucidates the geometric meaning of…
Domains in infinite jets present the simplest class of diffieties with boundary. In this note some basic elements of geometry of these domains are introduced and an analogue of the C-spectral sequence in this context is studied. This, in…
This is a brief introduction to two of the central concepts in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, jets and factorization, which serve as windows into the short-distance behavior of quantum fields.
The aim of this work is to lay the foundations of differential geometry and Lie theory over the general class of topological base fields and -rings for which a differential calculus has been developed in recent work (collaboration with H.…
In a natural way, the local diffeomorphisms of a manifold onto itself act on the reference frame bundles of any order and on the bundles associated with them. Due to the transitivity, the invariants by diffeomorphisms of an associated…
We give coordinate formula and geometric description of the curvature of the tensor product connection of linear connections on vector bundles with the same base manifold. We define the covariant differential of geometric fields of certain…
Two significant directions in the development of jet calculus are showed. First, jets are generalized to so-called quasijets. Second, jets of foliated and multifoliate manifold morphisms are presented. Although the paper has mainly a survey…
For smooth families of projective algebraic curves, we extend the notion of intersection pairing of metrized line bundles to a pairing on line bundles with flat relative connections. In this setting, we prove the existence of a canonical…
Different (not only by sign) affine connections are introduced for contravariant and covariant tensor fields over a differentiable manifold by means of a non-canonical contraction operator, defining the notion dual bases and commuting with…
We consider the notion of a connection on a principal bundle $P(M,G)$ from the point of view of the action of the tangential group $TG$. This leads to a new definition of a connection and allows to interpret gauge transformations as effect…
We define an operation of jets on graphs inspired by the corresponding notion in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. We examine a few graph theoretic properties and invariants of this construction, including chromatic numbers,…
Multinets are certain configurations of lines and points with multiplicities in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. They appear in the study of resonance and characteristic varieties of complex hyperplane arrangement complements…
The concept of F-algebra and its representation can be extended to an arbitrary bundle. We define operations of fibered F-algebra in fiber. The paper presents the representation theory of of fibered F-algebra as well as a comparison of…
In this note, we consider a Lie group G acting on a manifold M. We prove that the category of bundles with connection on the differential quotient stack is equivalent to the category of G-equivariant bundles on M with G-invariant…
This work revisits, from a geometric perspective, the notion of discrete connection on a principal bundle, introduced by M. Leok, J. Marsden and A. Weinstein. It provides precise definitions of discrete connection, discrete connection form…
Connections are an important tool of differential geometry. This paper investigates their definition and structure in the abstract setting of tangent categories. At this level of abstraction we derive several classically important results…
We study the existence of a natural `linearisation' process for generalised connections on an affine bundle. It is shown that this leads to an affine generalised connection over a prolonged bundle, which is the analogue of what is called a…
In this paper we review the hole argument for the space-time points and elementary particles and generalize the hole argument to include all geometric object fields and diffeomorphisms; and, by application of forgetful functors to abstract…
