By employing the differential structure recently developed by N. Gigli, we first give a notion of functions of bounded variation ($BV$) in terms of suitable vector fields on a complete and separable metric measure space $(\mathbb{X},d,\mu)$…
The classical Gauss-Green formula for the multidimensional case is generally stated for $C^{1}$ vector fields and domains with $C^{1}$ boundaries. However, motivated by the physical solutions with discontinuity/singularity for Partial…
In this paper we introduce a nonlinear version of the notion of Anzellotti's pairing between divergence--measure vector fields and functions of bounded variation, motivated by possible applications to evolutionary quasilinear problems. As a…
A new notion of pairing between measure vector fields with divergence measure and scalar functions, which are not required to be weakly differentiable, is introduced. In particular, in the case of essentially bounded divergence-measure…
This paper shows that finitely additive measures occur naturally in very general Divergence Theorems. The main results are two such theorems. The first proves the existence of pure normal measures for sets of finite perime- ter, which yield…
In the framework of the first-order differential structure introduced by Gigli, we obtain a Gauss-Green formula on regular bounded open sets of metric measure spaces, valid for BV functions and vector fields with integrable divergence.…
We introduce a general approach to traces that we consider as linear continuous functionals on some function space where we focus on some special choices for that space. This leads to an integral calculus for the computation of the precise…
Filling invariants are measurements of a metric space describing the behaviour of isoperimetric inequalities. In this article we examine filling functions and higher divergence functions. We prove for a class of stratified nilpotent Lie…
Gauge theory is a theory with constraints and, for that reason, the space of physical states is not a manifold but a stratified space (orbifold) with singularities. The classification of strata for smooth (and generalized) connections is…
We introduce a family of pairings between a bounded divergence-measure vector field and a function $u$ of bounded variation, depending on the choice of the pointwise representative of $u$. We prove that these pairings inherit from the…
Using Morita type stratifications, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between geometric vector fields on a separated differentiable stack and stratified vector fields on its orbit space. This correspondence enables us to derive a…
In this paper we obtain a very general Gauss-Green formula for weakly differentiable functions and sets of finite perimeter. This result is obtained by revisiting Anzellotti's pairing theory and by characterizing the measure pairing…
The possibility of non-trivial representations of the gauge group on wavefunctionals of a gauge invariant quantum field theory leads to a generation of mass for intermediate vector and tensor bosons. The mass parameters m show up as central…
The main aim of this work is to present the interpretation of the Ising type models as a kind of field theory in the framework of noncommutative geometry. We present the method and construct sample models of field theory on discrete spaces…
Gauge-invariant quantum fields are constructed in an Abelian power-counting renormalizable gauge theory with both scalar, vector and fermionic matter content. This extends previous results already obtained for the gauge-invariant…
Non-standard topics underlying a partly original approach to gauge field theory are concisely introduced, expressing ideas that were broached in several papers and, eventually, exposed in an organized form in a recently published book. By…
General covariance is a crucial notion in the study of field theories in curved spacetime. A field theory defined with respect to a semi-Riemannian metric is generally covariant if two metrics which are related by a diffeomorphism produce…
We consider the problem of removing the divergences in an arbitrary gauge-field theory (possibly nonrenormalizable). We show that this can be achieved by performing, order by order in the loop expansion, a redefinition of some parameters…
We present a general framework for Matrix theory compactified on a quotient space R^n/G, with G a discrete group of Euclidean motions in R^n. The general solution to the quotient conditions gives a gauge theory on a noncommutative space. We…
We define a BV -type space in the setting of Carnot groups (i.e., simply connected Lie groups with stratified nilpotent Lie algebra) that allows one to characterize all distributions F for which there exists a continuous horizontal vector…
