Tangent category theory is a well-established categorical framework for differential geometry. A long list of fundamental geometric constructions, such as the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, and vector bundles have…

In this paper, we explain how the abstract notion of a differential bundle in a tangent category provides a new way of thinking about the category of modules over a commutative ring and its opposite category. MacAdam previously showed that…

The category of affine schemes is a tangent category whose tangent bundle functor is induced by K\"ahler differentials, providing a direct link between algebraic geometry and tangent category theory. Moreover, this tangent bundle functor is…

There is an abstract notion of connection in any tangent category. In this paper, we show that when applied to the tangent category of affine schemes, this recreates the classical notion of a connection on a module (and similarly, in the…

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…

Affine schemes can be understood as objects of the opposite of the category of commutative and unital algebras. Similarly, $\mathscr{P}$-affine schemes can be defined as objects of the opposite of the category of algebras over an operad…

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…

Tangent categories offer a categorical context for differential geometry, by categorifying geometric notions like the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, vector bundles, connections, etc. In the last decade, the theory…

A tangent category is a category with an endofunctor, called the tangent bundle functor, which is equipped with various natural transformations that capture essential properties of the classical tangent bundle of smooth manifolds. In this…

A tangent category is a categorical abstraction of the tangent bundle construction for smooth manifolds. In that context, Cockett and Cruttwell develop the notion of differential bundle which, by work of MacAdam, generalizes the notion of…

In category theory, monads, which are monoid objects on endofunctors, play a central role closely related to adjunctions. Monads have been studied mostly in algebraic situations. In this dissertation, we study this concept in some…

In this paper we will first introduce the notion of affine structures on a ringed space and then obtain several properties. Affine structures on a ringed space, arising mainly from complex analytical spaces of algebraic schemes over number…

We make an attempt to develop "noncommutative algebraic geometry" in which noncommutative affine schemes are in one-to-one correspondence with associative algebras. In the first part we discuss various aspects of smoothness in affine…
