We study first-order Sobolev spaces on reflexive Banach spaces via relaxation, test plans, and divergence. We show the equivalence of the different approaches to the Sobolev spaces and to the related tangent bundles.

We give a quantitative characterization of traces on the boundary of Sobolev maps in $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mathcal M, \mathcal N)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are compact Riemannian manifolds, $\partial \mathcal{M} \neq \emptyset$: the…

It is shown that the nature of physical time requires the extended phase-space in mechanics to have a bundle structure with time as the 1-dimensional base manifold and the phase space as the fiber. This bundle picture of the extended phase…

Gauge fields are described on an Riemann-Cartan space-time by means of tensor-valued differential forms and exterior calculus. It is shown that minimal coupling procedure leads to a gauge invariant theory where gauge fields interact with…

A geometric interpretation of curvature and torsion of linear transports along paths is presented. A number of (Bianchi type) identities satisfied by these quantities are derived. The obtained results contain as special cases the…

We prove Sobolev embedding Theorems with weights for vector bundles in a complete riemannian manifold. We also get general Gaffney's inequality with weights. As a consequence, under a "weak bounded geometry" hypothesis, we improve classical…

A theory of Sobolev inequalities in arbitrary open sets of Euclidean space is established. Boundary regularity of domains is replaced with information on boundary traces of trial functions and of their derivatives up to some explicit…

The present note contains a review of $p$-energies and Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces that carry a strongly local regular Dirichlet form. These Sobolev spaces are then used to generalize some basic results from the calculus of…

In the paper, the basic results on boundary trace of the book "Sobolev spaces" by V. Maz'ya are generalized to a wider class of regions. In the book, boundary trace of BV-functions is defined for regions with finite perimeter and the main…

Gauge field theory is developed in the framework of scale relativity. In this theory, space-time is described as a non-differentiable continuum, which implies it is fractal, i.e., explicitly dependent on internal scale variables. Owing to…

Partial connections are (singular) differential systems generalizing classical connections on principal bundles, yielding analogous decompositions for manifolds with nonfree group actions. Connection forms are interpreted as maps…

By studying the geometric properties of correlation functions on the theory space, we are naturally led to a connection for the infinite dimensional vector bundle of composite fields over the theory space. We show how the short distance…

Given a submanifold $M\subset \mathbf{R}^\nu$, a curve $\gamma:I\to M$ and tangent vectors $v$ along $\gamma$, we roll the tangent space along $\gamma$. In doing so, we get an imprint/trace of $\gamma$ on the tangent space, as well as an…

The trace anomaly for a conformally invariant scalar field theory on a curved manifold of positive constant curvature with boundary is considered. In the context of a perturbative evaluation of the theory's effective action explicit…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, and $m$ be a second metric on $M$. We give expressions of $m$'s associated connection, and Riemann curvature tensor $R_m$, in terms of $R_g$ and certain combinations of covariant derivatives of $m$…

Using the concept of fractional derivatives of Riemann$-$Liouville on time scales, we first introduce right fractional Sobolev spaces and characterize them. Then, we prove the equivalence of some norms in the introduced spaces, and obtain…

We derive for generally covariant theories the generic dependency of observables on the original fields, corresponding to coordinate-dependent gauge fixings. This gauge choice is equivalent to a choice of intrinsically defined coordinates…

The section condition in double field theory has been shown to imply that a physical point should be one-to-one identified with a gauge orbit in the doubled coordinate space. Here we show the converse is also true, and continue to explore…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of charged superselection sectors in the framework of the locally covariant quantum field theories. We shall analize sharply localizable charges, and use net-cohomology of J.E. Roberts as a main tool.…

We discuss gauge theories for commutative but non-associative algebras related to the $ SO(2k+1)$ covariant finite dimensional fuzzy $2k$-sphere algebras. A consequence of non-associativity is that gauge fields and gauge parameters have to…
