We consider the covariant quantization of generalized abelian gauge theories on a closed and compact n-dimensional manifold whose space of gauge invariant fields is the abelian group of Cheeger-Simons differential characters. The space of…

In this paper we develop a rigorous foundation for the study of integration and measures on the space $\mathscr{G}(V)$ of all graphs defined on a countable labelled vertex set $V$. We first study several interrelated $\sigma$-algebras and a…

We study a generalization of higher gauge theory which makes use of generalized geometry and seems to be closely related to double field theory. The local kinematical data of this theory is captured by morphisms of graded manifolds between…

We study spacetime diffeomorphisms in Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalisms of generally covariant systems. We show that the gauge group for such a system is characterized by having generators which are projectable under the Legendre map.…

We show that, for a generic measure preserving transformation $T$, the closed group generated by $T$ is not isomorphic to the topological group $L^0(\lambda, {\mathbb T})$ of all Lebesgue measurable functions from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbb T$…

For a measurable space ($X,\mathcal{A}$), let $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ be the corresponding ring of all real valued measurable functions and let $\mu$ be a measure on ($X,\mathcal{A}$). In this paper, we generalize the so-called…

For a measure space $(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu)$ with a positive finite measure $\mu$, and a positive real number $p$, we define the space $L_p^{+}(\mu)=L_p^{+}$ of all (equivalence classes of) $\Sigma$-measurable complex functions $f$ defined…

For continuous maps on a compact manifold M, particularly for those that do not preserve the Lebesgue measure m, we define the observable invariant probability measures as a generalization of the physical measures. We prove that any…

We give two characterizations, one for the class of generalized Young measures generated by $\mathcal A$-free measures, and one for the class generated by $\mathcal B$-gradient measures $\mathcal Bu$. Here, $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ are…

Let $L(G)$ denote the space of integer-valued length functions on a countable group $G$ endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. Assuming that $G$ does not satisfy any non-trivial mixed identity, we prove that a generic (in the…

We consider the concept of a generalised manifold in the O(d,d) setting, i.e., in double geometry. The conjecture by Hohm and Zwiebach for the form of finite generalised diffeomorphisms is shown to hold. Transition functions on overlaps are…

The A-hypergeometric system studied by I.M. Gelfand, M.I. Graev, A.V. Zelevinsky and the author, is defined for a set A of characters of an algebraic torus. In this paper we propose a generalization of the theory where the torus is replaced…

In this work we use generalized deformed gauge groups for investigation of symmetry of general relativity (GR). GR is formulated in generalized reference frames, which are represented by (anholonomic in general case) affine frame fields.…

We introduce a novel notion of {\it local spectral gap} for general, possibly infinite, measure preserving actions. We establish local spectral gap for the left translation action $\Gamma\curvearrowright G$, whenever $\Gamma$ is a dense…

In the general theory of locally compact quantum groups, the notion of Haar measure (Haar weight) plays the most significant role. The aim of this paper is to carry out a careful analysis regarding Haar weight, in relation to general…

We extend the construction of [19] by introducing spaces of generalized tensor fields on smooth manifolds that possess optimal embedding and consistency properties with spaces of tensor distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. We thereby…

One of the main features of covariant theories, in particular general relativity, is that the field equation possesses gauge freedom associated with global diffeomorphisms of the underlying manifold. I shall explain here how the hole…

This paper investigates the problem of extending measure theory to non-separable structures, from generalized descriptive set theory to a broader class of spaces beyond this framework. While various notions, such as the ideal of measure…

In this paper we introduce and study some mathematical structures on top of transitive Lie algebroids in order to formulate gauge theories in terms of generalized connections and their curvature: metrics, Hodge star operator and integration…

This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has…
