Relevant algebraic structures for the description of Quantum Mechanics in the Heisenberg picture are replaced by tensorfields on the space of states. This replacement introduces a differential geometric point of view which allows for a…
In this paper we determine the class of four-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds that can be completely characterized by the scalar polynomial curvature invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives. We introduce…
We make a full classification of scalar monomials built of the Riemann curvature tensor up to the quadratic order and of the covariant derivatives of the scalar field up to the third order. From the point of view of the effective field…
This paper deals with sheaves of differential operators on noncommutative algebras. The sheaves are defined by quotienting a the tensor algebra of vector fields (suitably deformed by a covariant derivative) to ensure zero curvature. As an…
This is the sixth, concluding part of a series of papers the first five of which have been submitted to the present archive in mid 1998 and published as INR preprints in 1999. The present paper was printed as an INR preprint, too, but for…
Data-driven discovery of "hidden physics" -- i.e., machine learning of differential equation models underlying observed data -- has recently been approached by embedding the discovery problem into a Gaussian Process regression of spatial…
In the present article the geometry of semi-Riemannian manifolds with nonholonomic constraints is studied. These manifolds can be considered as analogues to the sub-Riemannian manifolds, where the positively definite metric is substituted…
For the importance of differentiation theorems in metric spaces (starting with Pansu Rademacher type theorem in Carnot groups) and relations with rigidity of embeddings see the section 1.2 in Cheeger and Kleiner paper arXiv:math/0611954 and…
Geometrical properties of spacetime are difficult to study in nonperturbative approaches to quantum gravity like Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT), where one uses simplicial manifolds to define the gravitational path integral, instead…
In this essay, we wish to propose a general principle: \it{the equation of motion or dynamics of a fundamental force should not be prescribed but instead be entirely driven by geometry of the appropriate spacetime manifold, and the equation…
We develop a non-abelian, gauge-theoretic framework for the Schwarzian derivative and for second-order differential equations on Riemann surfaces. As applications, we extend Dedekind's Schwarzian approach to elliptic periods to generic…
We solve for quantum Riemannian geometries on the finite lattice interval $\bullet-\bullet-\cdots-\bullet$ with $n$ nodes (the Dynkin graph of type $A_n$) and find that they are necessarily $q$-deformed with $q=e^{\imath\pi\over n+1}$. This…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the differential geometry of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional normed spaces from the viewpoint of affine differential geometry. We endow the surface with a useful Riemannian metric which is…
Observable properties of a classical physical system can be modelled deterministically as functions from the space of pure states to outcomes; dually, states can be modelled as functions from the algebra of observables to outcomes. The…
Nonlinear analysis has played a prominent role in the recent developments in geometry and topology. The study of the Yang-Mills equation and its cousins gave rise to the Donaldson invariants and more recently, the Seiberg-Witten invariants.…
Statistical inference more often than not involves models which are non-linear in the parameters thus leading to non-Gaussian posteriors. Many computational and analytical tools exist that can deal with non-Gaussian distributions, and…
We show that on certain diffeological spaces there exist linear derivations that satisfy the Leibniz rule but are not smooth with respect to the given diffeology. This reveals that the notion of tangent space defined via all such…
We study the interplay between geometry and partial differential equations. We show how the fundamental ideas we use require the ability to correctly calculate the dimensions of spaces associated to the varieties of zeros of the symbols of…
Gauge theories on q-deformed spaces are constructed using covariant derivatives. For this purpose a ``vielbein'' is introduced, which transforms under gauge transformations. The non-Abelian case is treated by establishing a connection to…
Einstein's equations of gravitation are not invariant under geodesic mappings, i. e. under a certain class of mappings of the Christoffel symbols and the metric tensor which leave the geodesic equations in a given coordinate system…
