The purpose of this paper is to put the description of number scaling and its effects on physics and geometry on a firmer foundation, and to make it more understandable. A main point is that two different concepts, number and number value…
Much of arithmetic geometry is concerned with the study of principal bundles. They occur prominently in the arithmetic of elliptic curves and, more recently, in the study of the Diophantine geometry of curves of higher genus. In particular,…
The configuration category of a manifold is a topological category which we view as a Segal space, via the nerve construction. Our main result is that the unordered configuration category, suitably truncated, admits a finite presentation as…
In this paper, we survey recent developments concerning the stability of naturally defined bundles on curves that play a central role in the deformation theory of the curve.
The notion of a coherent space is a nonlinear version of the notion of a complex Euclidean space: The vector space axioms are dropped while the notion of inner product is kept. Coherent spaces provide a setting for the study of geometry in…
We outline how Drinfeld twist deformation techniques can be applied to the deformation quantization of principal bundles into noncommutative principal bundles, and more in general to the deformation of Hopf-Galois extensions. First we twist…
We study geometrical aspects of the space of fibrations between two given manifolds M and B, from the point of view of Frechet geometry. As a first result, we show that any connected component of this space is the base space of a…
For any classical field configuration or mechanical system with a finite number of degrees of freedom we introduce the concept of topological spectrum. It is based upon the assumption that for any classical configuration there exists a…
We introduce two sets of invariants for a line bundle at a point: infinitesimal successive minima and asymptotic partial jet separation. They are inspired by the local analogue of Ambro-Ito, and by the jet-theoretic interpretation of the…
Quantum affine bundles are quantum principal bundles with affine quantum structure groups. A general theory of quantum affine bundles is presented. In particular, a detailed analysis of differential calculi over these bundles is performed,…
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…
This paper is devoted to rigidity of smooth bundles which are equipped with fiberwise geometric or dynamical structure. We show that the fiberwise associated sphere bundle to a bundle whose leaves are equipped with (continuously varying)…
In this paper we introduce a generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics that replaces configuration spaces, conventionally regarded simply as smooth manifolds, with line bundles over smooth manifolds. Classical observables are then identified…
We study the geometric properties of the base manifold for the unit tangent bundle satisfying the $\eta$-Einstein condition with the standard contact metric structure. One of the main theorems is that the unit tangent bundle of…
This paper develops the tools of formal algebraic geometry in the setting of noncommutative manifolds, roughly ringed spaces locally modeled on the free associative algebra. We define a notion of noncommutative coordinate system, which is a…
We apply ourselves to the noncommutative geometry of frame bundles by showing that each C$^*$-algebraic noncommutative principal $\mathrm{SO}(n)$-bundle is, up to isomorphism, uniquely determined by its associated noncommutative vector…
We construct a connection and a curving on a bundle gerbe associated with lifting a structure group of a principal bundle to a central extension. The construction is based on certain structures on the bundle, i.e. connections and…
We give an informal summary of ongoing work which uses tools distilled from the theory of fibre bundles to classify and connect invariant fields associated with spin motion in storage rings. We mention four major theorems. One ties…
In classical field theory, the composite fibred manifolds Y -> Z -> X provides the adequate mathematical formulation of gauge models with broken symmetries, e.g., the gauge gravitation theory. This work is devoted to connections on…
A noncommutative-geometric formalism of framed principal bundles is sketched, in a special case of quantum bundles (over quantum spaces) possessing classical structure groups. Quantum counterparts of torsion operators and Levi-Civita type…
