We consider noncommutative geometries obtained from a triangular Drinfeld twist. This allows to construct and study a wide class of noncommutative manifolds and their deformed Lie algebras of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. This way symmetry…

The Wasserstein distance on multivariate non-degenerate Gaussian densities is a Riemannian distance. After reviewing the properties of the distance and the metric geodesic, we present an explicit form of the Riemannian metrics on…

The potential conflict between torsion and gauge symmetry in the Riemann-Cartan curved space-time was noted by Kibble in his 1961 pioneering paper, and has since been discussed by many authors. Kibble suggested that, to preserve gauge…

Motivated by problems where jumps across lower dimensional subsets and sharp transitions across interfaces are of interest, this paper studies the properties of fractional bounded variation ($BV$)-type spaces. Two different natural…

In a previous paper [M.~Hanada, H.~Kawai and Y.~Kimura, Prog. Theor. Phys. 114 (2005), 1295] it is shown that a covariant derivative on any n-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be expressed in terms of a set of n matrices, and a new…

The integral of a function $f$ defined on a symmetric space $M \simeq G/K$ may be expressed in the form of a determinant (or Pfaffian), when $f$ is $K$-invariant and, in a certain sense, a tensor power of a positive function of a single…

The aim of the current paper is to study the multiscalar-tensor theories of gravity without derivative couplings. We construct a few basic objects that are invariant under a Weyl rescaling of the metric and transform covariantly when the…

Using the tools of q--differential calculus and quantum Lie algebras associated to quantum groups, we find a one--parameter family of q-gauge theories associated to the quantum group $ISO_q(3,1)$. Although the gauge fields, that is the…

Six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric gauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity is extended by the inclusion of a supersymmetric Riemann tensor squared invariant. Both the original model as well as the Riemann tensor squared invariant are…

This article provides a pedagogically oriented introduction to geometric (Clifford) calculus on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Unlike usual approaches to the topic, which rely on embedding the geometric algebra either within a tensor algebra…

This paper does not contain any new results, it is just an attempt to present, in a systematic way, one construction which establishes an interesting relationship between some ideas and notions well-known in the theory of integrable systems…

We carry over to a quite general noncommutative setting some of the basic tools of differential geometry, using from the very beginning the setting of convenient vector spaces developed by Froelicher and Kriegl, which allows to carry all of…

We consider a nonlinear parabolic equation of fractional order in space and propose its numerical discretization. The fractional derivative is defined through a functional analytic setting, rather than the traditional definition of…

For smooth manifolds equipped with various geometric structures, we construct complexes that replace the de Rham complex in providing an alternative fine resolution of the sheaf of locally constant functions. In case that the geometric…

This is a friendly introduction to our recent general procedure for constructing noncommutative deformations of an embedded submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ determined by a set of smooth equations $f^a(x)=0$. We use the framework of…

In this paper we introduce Lipschitz spaces with respect to the Gaussian measure, and study the boundedness of the fractional integral and fractional derivative operators on them.The methods are general enough to provide alternative proofs…

Riemannian geometry is a particular case of Hamiltonian mechanics: the orbits of the hamiltonian $H=\frac{1}{2}g^{ij}p_{i}p_{j}$ are the geodesics. Given a symplectic manifold (\Gamma,\omega), a hamiltonian $H:\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}$ and a…
