We define Getzler's Gauss-Manin connection in cyclic homology at the level of chains and outline some relations of this construction to noncommutative calculus.
Some aspects of differential and integral calculi on generalized grassmann (paragrassmann) algebras are considered. The integration over paragrassmann variables is applied to evaluate the partition function for the $Z_{p+1}$ Potts model on…
"Consider the [turbidity] current as ... a river" R. A. Bagnold (1962); the foundation of contemporary deep marine sedimentology. Gravity currents, such as sediment-laden turbidity currents, are ubiquitous natural flows that are driven by a…
A self-consistent analysis of the currents in a tokamak yields the result that the parallel neutralizing current is given simply by the sum of currents commonly called the bootstrap current and the Pfirsch-Schlueter current. An expression…
In this note we study a family of algebras with one parameter defined by generators and relations. The set of generators contains the generators of the usual braids algebra, and another set of generators which is interpreted as ties between…
A local current of particle density for scalar fields in curved background is constructed. The current depends on the choice of a two-point function. There is a choice that leads to local non-conservation of the current in a time-dependent…
We construct a family of subalgebras of the Gerstenhaber algebra of differential operators. The subalgebras are labeled by subsets of the additive group ${\mathbb Z}^n$ that are closed under addition. Each subalgebra is invariant under the…
We introduce a class of densely defined, unbounded, 2-Hochschild cocycles ([PT]) on finite von Neumann algebras $M$. Our cocycles admit a coboundary, determined by an unbounded operator on the standard Hilbert space associated to the von…
Two superalgebras associated with $p$-branes are the constraint algebra and the Noether charge algebra. Both contain anomalous terms which modify the standard supertranslation algebra. These anomalous terms have a natural description in…
Gravitomagnetic equations result from applying quaternionic differential operators to the energy-momentum tensor. These equations are similar to the Maxwell's EM equations. Both sets of the equations are isomorphic after changing…
We consider classical Teichmuller theory and the geodesic flow on the cotangent bundle of the Teichmuller space. We show that the corresponding orbits provide a canonical description of certain (2+1) gravity systems in which a set of…
We investigate the charges and fluxes that can occur in higher-order Abelian gauge theories defined on compact space-time manifolds with boundary. The boundary is necessary to supply a destination to the electric lines of force emanating…
Lattice current algebras were introduced as a regularization of the left- and right moving degrees of freedom in the WZNW model. They provide examples of lattice theories with a local quantum symmetry $U_q(\sg)$. Their representation theory…
This article gives an invariant representation of the curvature of a plane wave spacetime in terms of the Schwarzian of a curve in the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It develops a general theory of cross ratios and Schwarzians of curves in what…
In this thesis, we investigate various integral submodels and generalize them. In part I, we study the submodel of the nonlinear $\mathbf{C}P^1$-model and the related submodels in $(1+2)$ dimensions. In part II, we construct integrable…
For nice functions, invariant means over integral currents (certain generalized surfaces), can be uniquely defined.
Let $A$ be a $K$-subalgebra of the polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ of dimension $d$, generated by finitely many monomials of degree $r$. Then the Gauss algebra $\GG(A)$ of $A$ is generated by monomials of degree $(r-1)d$ in $S$. We…
It is well known that nonlinear diffusion equations can be interpreted as a gradient flow in the space of probability measures equipped with the Euclidean Wasserstein distance. Under suitable convexity conditions on the nonlinearity, due to…
Grassmann-algebraic relations, corresponding naturally to Pachner move 3--3 in four-dimensional topology, are presented. They involve 2-cocycles of two specific forms, and some more homological objects.
It is well known that the edge vector space of an oriented graph can be decomposed in terms of cycles and cocycles (alias cuts, or bonds), and that a basis for the cycle and the cocycle spaces can be generated by adding and removing edges…
