On the affine space containing the space $\mathcal{S}$ of quantum states of finite-dimensional systems there are contravariant tensor fields by means of which it is possible to define Hamiltonian and gradient vector fields encoding relevant…
Given a complex analytic function f on a Whitney stratified complex analytic variety of complex dimension n, whose real part Re(f) is Morse, we prove the existence of a stratified gradient-like vector field for Re(f) such that the unstable…
Gravity theories with non-minimally coupled scalar fields are used as characteristic examples in order to demonstrate the challenges, pitfalls and future perspectives of considering alternatives to general relativity. These lecture notes…
The main aim of this article is to study and develop valuation theory for Krasner hyperfields. In analogy with classical valuation theory for fields, we generalise the formalism of valuation rings to describe equivalence of valuations on…
This work begins by establishing a mathematical formalization between different geometrical interpretations of Neural Networks, providing a first contribution. From this starting point, a new interpretation is explored, using the idea of…
The vector field problem is an important and classical problem in differential topology. In this survey we shall consider the vector field problem focusing mainly on the class of compact homogeneous spaces.
We consider manifolds with isolated singularities, i.e., topological spaces which are manifolds (say, $C^\infty$--) outside discrete subsets (sets of singular points). For (germs of) manifolds with, so called, cone--like singularities, a…
A notion of Cartan pairs as an analogy of vector fields in the realm of noncommutative geometry has been proposed in q-alg/9609011 In this paper we give an outline of the construction of a noncommutative analogy of the algebra of partial…
We define generalized vector fields, and contraction and Lie derivatives with respect to them. Generalized commutators are also defined.
Given a finite collection of $C^1$ complex vector fields on a $C^2$ manifold $M$ such that they and their complex conjugates span the complexified tangent space at every point, the classical Newlander-Nirenberg theorem gives conditions on…
We construct the space of vector fields on quantum groups . Its elements are products of the known left invariant vector fields with the elements of the quantum group itself. We also study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms. The…
The goal of this work is twofold: (i) to provide a detailed analysis of some categories of inductive graded ring - a concept introduced in [DM98] in order to provide a solution of Marshall's signature conjecture in the algebraic theory of…
This note is the sequel of "Geometric structures as variational objects, I." It generalizes the main result and perspectives of that work to a class of geometric structures that includes integrable almost-complex structures.
The notion of degree begins in field theory as the dimension of a field extension. In algebraic geometry, this idea reappears as the degree of a finite morphism, defined using the induced extension of function fields. For proper morphisms…
This is an introduction to Grothendieck's descent theory, with some stress on the general machinery of fibered categories and stacks.
In the first part of the paper we define a perturbative (pre-formal) geometry and formulate a theorem on the relation between the construction of a perturbative neighborhood of affine varieties and the higher tangent bundles. In the second…
It is shown that a certain representation of the Heisenberg type Krichever-Novikov algebra gives rise to a state field correspondence that is quite similar to the vertex algebra structure of the usual Heisenberg algebra. Finally a…
These are notes on some entanglement properties of quantum field theory, aiming to make accessible a variety of ideas that are known in the literature. The main goal is to explain how to deal with entanglement when -- as in quantum field…
After sketching recent advances and subtleties in classical relativistically covariant field theories, we give in this short Note some indications as to how the deformation quantization approach can be used to solve or at least give a…
This paper presents an approach to a time-dependent variant of the concept of vector field topology for 2-D vector fields. Vector field topology is defined for steady vector fields and aims at discriminating the domain of a vector field…
