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 define covariant Lie derivatives acting on vector-valued forms on Lie algebroids and study their properties. This allows us to obtain a concise formula for the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket on Lie algebroids.
In this article, we summarize our recent results on the study of manifolds with special holonomy via the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket. This bracket enables us to define the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis cohomologies which are analogues of the…
A general theory of the Frolicher-Nijenhuis and Schouten-Nijenhuis brackets in the category of modules over a commutative algebra is described. Some related structures and (co)homology invariants are discussed, as well as applications to…
As the third of our series of papers on differential geometry of microlinear Frolicher spaces, this paper is devoted to the Frolicher-Nijenhuis calculus of their named bracket. The main result is that the Frolicher-Nijenhuis bracket…
In this paper we introduce non-commutative fields and forms on a new kind of non-commutative algebras: $\rho$-algebras. We also define the Fr\"{o}licher--Nijenhuis bracket in the non-commutative geometry on $\rho$-algebras.
In this paper, we introduce some new graded Lie algebras associated with a Hom-Lie algebra. At first, we define the cup product bracket and its application to the deformation theory of Hom-Lie algebra morphisms. We observe an action of the…
Identities pertaining to the de Rham codifferential $\delta$ in differential geometry are scattered in the literature. This article gathers such formulas involving usual differential operators (Lie derivative, Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket,…
In the main part of this paper a connection is just a fiber projection onto a (not necessarily integrable) distribution or sub vector bundle of the tangent bundle. Here curvature is computed via the Froelicher-Nijenhuis bracket, and it is…
A rather simple natural outer derivation of the graded Lie algebra of all vector valued differential forms with the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket turns out to be a differential and gives rise to a cohomology of the manifold, which is…
Derivation-based differential calculi are of great importance in noncommutative geometry, noncommutative gauge theory and integrable systems. In this paper, we propose the connection and curvature from a class of deformed derivation-based…
This paper aims to construct two graded Lie algebras associated with a nonsymmetric operad with multiplication. Maurer-Cartan elements of these graded Lie algebras correspond respectively to Nijenhuis elements and Rota-Baxter elements for…
The Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket on smooth infinite-dimensional manifolds $M$ is developed in two steps: For summable multivector fields whose pointwise dual are all differential form, and in an extended form for multivector fields which are…
Just as the Jacobi identity of vector fields is a natural consequence of the general Jacobi identity of microcubes in synthetic differential geometry, it is to be shown in this paper that the graded Jacobi identity of the…
Generalized Schouten, Froelicher-Nijenhuis and Froelicher-Richardson brackets are defined for an arbitrary Lie algebroid. Tangent and cotangent lifts of Lie algebroids are introduced and discussed and the behaviour of the related graded Lie…
We propose a new, infinite class of brackets generalizing the Fr\"olicher--Nijenhuis bracket. This class can be reduced to a family of generalized Nijenhuis torsions recently introduced. In particular, the Haantjes bracket, the first…
We extend the characterization of the integrability of an almost complex structure $J$ on differentiable manifolds via the vanishing of the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket $[J, J] ^{FN}$ to an analogous characterization of torsion-free…
In this short review article we sketch some developments which should ultimately lead to the analogy of the Chern-Weil homomorphism for principal bundles in the realm of non-commutative differential geometry. Principal bundles there should…
We define a noncommutative differential calculus constructed from the inner derivation, then several relevant examples are showed. It is of interest to note that for certain $C^*$-algebra, this calculus is closely related to the classical…
We study the graded derivation-based noncommutative differential geometry of the $Z_2$-graded algebra ${\bf M}(n| m)$ of complex $(n+m)\times(n+m)$-matrices with the ``usual block matrix grading'' (for $n\neq m$). Beside the…
