We look at several problems in even dimensional conformal geometry based around the de Rham complex. A leading and motivating problem is to find a conformally invariant replacement for the usual de Rham harmonics. An obviously related…
We provide a brief overview on the application of the exterior calculus of differential forms to the ab initio formulation of field theories on random simplicial lattices. In this framework, discrete analogues of the exterior derivative and…
We construct potentials for the exterior derivative, in particular, for the gradient, the curl, and the divergence operators, over domains with shellable triangulations. Notably, the class of shellable triangulations includes local patches…
Differential forms on Lorentzian spacetimes is a well-established subject. On Galilean and Carrollian spacetimes it does not seem to be quite so. This may be due to the absence of Hodge star operator. There are, however, potentially useful…
We derive explicit restriction and continuation formulas between n-dimensional (Anti)-de Sitter spaces and the (n + 1)-dimensional Minkowskian ambient space for the codifferential and Laplace-de Rham operators acting on p-forms.
Spaces of differential forms over configuration spaces with Poisson measures are constructed. The corresponding Laplacians (of Bochner and de Rham type) on forms and associated semigroups are considered. Their probabilistic interpretation…
A $(p,q)$-double form on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ can be considered simultaneously as a vector-valued differential $p$-form over $M$ or alternatively as a vector-valued $q$-form. Accordingly, the usual Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on…
We give a survey of recent work on the construction of differential operators on various types of modular forms (mod p). We also discuss a framework for determining the effect of such operators on the mod p Galois representations attached…
We study a general class of discrete $p$-Laplace operators in the random conductance model with long-range jumps and ergodic weights. Using a variational formulation of the problem, we show that under the assumption of bounded first moments…
This thesis generalizes the differential operators on standard oriented graphs and oriented hypergraphs introduced in 10.1137/15M1022793 and arXiv:2007.00325. The extended concepts of gradients, adjoints and $p$-Laplacians for vertices and…
We introduce a notion of p-dimensional cones made of $p$-dimensional subspaces and gauges on these cones, giving rise to a contraction principle which generalizes the one for Birkhoff cones. Using tools on the grassmannian and the exterior…
In this paper we consider a model based on interacting $p-$forms and explore some cosmological applications. Restricting to gauge invariant actions, we build a general Lagrangian allowing for arbitrary interactions between the $p-$forms…
We give an explicit description of the spectrum of the Hodge--Laplace operator on $p$-forms of an arbitrary lens space for any $p$. We write the two generating functions encoding the $p$-spectrum as rational functions. As a consequence, we…
This work further develops the properties of fractional differential forms. In particular, finite dimensional subspaces of fractional form spaces are considered. An inner product, Hodge dual, and covariant derivative are defined. Coordinate…
We describe a topological predual to differential forms constructed as an inductive limit of a sequence of Banach spaces. This subspace of currents has nice properties, in that Dirac chains and polyhedral chains are dense, and its operator…
On conformal manifolds of even dimension $n\geq 4$ we construct a family of new conformally invariant differential complexes. Each bundle in each of these complexes appears either in the de Rham complex or in its dual. Each of the new…
Poincare-Cartan form for scalar field is constructed as a differential 4-form in a `directly Hamiltonian' formalism which does not use a Lagrangian. The canonical momentum $p$ of a scalar field $\phi$ is a 1-form and the Poincare-Cartan…
We extend to manifolds endowed with a general geometric structure, the classical notions of gradient as well as Laplace operator, and provide some of their natural properties.
Properties of a fundamental double-form of bi-degree $(p,p)$ for $p\ge 0$ are reviewed in order to establish a distributional framework for analysing equations of the form $$\Delta \Phi + \lambda^2 \Phi = {\cal S} $$ where $\Delta$ is the…
We give some theoretical as well as computational results on Laplace and Maxwell constants. Besides the classical de Rham complex we investigate the complex of elasticity and the complex related to the biharmonic equation and general…
