We propose a notion of a pluri-Lagrangian problem, which should be understood as an analog of multi-dimensional consistency for variational systems. This is a development along the line of research of discrete integrable Lagrangian systems…
In this paper, we develop a general framework of geometric functorial field theories, meaning that all bordisms in question are endowed with geometric structures. We take particular care to establish a notion of smooth variation of such…
Motivated by recent discussions of fractons, we explore nonrelativistic field theories with a continuous global symmetry, whose charge is a spatial vector. We present several such symmetries and demonstrate them in concrete examples. They…
An invertible field transformation is such that the old field variables correspond one-to-one to the new variables. As such, one may think that two systems that are related by an invertible transformation are physically equivalent. However,…
We overview the basic concepts, models, and methods related to the multi-field continuum theory of solids with complex structures. The multi-field theory is formulated for structural solids by introducing a macrocell consisting of several…
We present a new formulation of some basic differential geometric notions on a smooth manifold M, in the setting of nonstandard analysis. In place of classical vector fields, for which one needs to construct the tangent bundle of M, we…
The bienergy of a vector field on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is defined to be the bienergy of the corresponding map (M,g) ---> (TM,g_S), where the tangent bundle TM is equipped with the Sasaki metric g_S. The constrained variational…
A new cohomology, induced by a vector field, is defined on pairs of differential forms ($1$--differentiable forms) in a manifold. It is proved a link with the classical de Rham cohomology and an $1$-differentable cohomology of Lichnerowicz…
Multisymplectic geometry is an adequate formalism to geometrically describe first order classical field theories. The De Donder-Weyl equations are treated in the framework of multisymplectic geometry, solutions are identified as integral…
For any compact oriented manifold $M$, we show that that the top degree multi-vector fields transverse to the zero section of $\wedge^{\text{top}}TM$ are classified, up to orientation preserving diffeomorphism, in terms of the topology of…
In this paper I shall show how the notions of Finsler geometry can be used to construct a similar geometry using a scalar field, f, on the cotangent bundle of a differentiable manifold M. This will enable me to use the second vertical…
The Lagrange-Poincare equations of classical mechanics are cast into a field theoretic context together with their associated constrained variational principle. An integrability/reconstruction condition is established that relates solutions…
We generalize the notion of a Lie algebroid over infinite jet bundle by replacing the variational anchor with an N-tuple of differential operators whose images in the Lie algebra of evolutionary vector fields of the jet space are subject to…
We discuss quantum-field-theoretic interpretation of the family of observables (the so-called C-algebra) introduced in [ F.V.Tkachov: Preprint FERMILAB-PUB-95/191-T] for a systematic description of multijet structure of multiparticle final…
Singular complex analytic vector fields on the Riemann surfaces enjoy several geometric properties (singular means that poles and essential singularities are admissible). We describe relations between singular complex analytic vector fields…
The objective of the present paper (the second in a series of four) is to give a theory of multivector and extensor fields on a smooth manifold M of arbitrary topology based on the powerful geometric algebra of multivectors and extensors.…
Tangent categories provide an axiomatic approach to key structural aspects of differential geometry that exist not only in the classical category of smooth manifolds but also in algebraic geometry, homological algebra, computer science, and…
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be open and let $\mathcal{R}$ be a partial frame on $\Omega$, that is a set of $m$ linearly independent vector fields prescribed on $\Omega$ ($m\leq n$). We consider the issue of describing the set of all…
New splitting theorems in a semi-Riemannian manifold which admits an irrotational vector field (not necessarily a gradient) with some suitable properties are obtained. According to the extras hypothesis assumed on the vector field, we can…
In this contribution, a mathematical framework is constructed to relate and compare non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) in the category of smooth manifolds. In particular, it can be used to compare those aspects of field…
