We give a pedagogical introduction to the differential calculus on quantum groups by stressing at all stages the connection with the classical case ($q \rightarrow 1$ limit). The Lie derivative and the contraction operator on forms and…
A discretisation of differential geometry using the Whitney forms of algebraic topology is consistently extended via the introduction of a pairing on the space of chains. This pairing of chains enables us to give a definition of the…
We develop differential calculus and gauge theory on a finite set G. An elegant formulation is obtained when G is supplied with a group structure and in particular for a cyclic group. Connes' two-point model (which is an essential…
A finite set can be supplied with a group structure which can then be used to select (classes of) differential calculi on it via the notions of left-, right- and bicovariance. A corresponding framework has been developed by Woronowicz, more…
This paper is concerned with difference equations on elliptic curves. We establish some general properties of the difference Galois groups of equations of order two, and give applications to the calculation of some difference Galois groups.…
As a vital link between group theory and graph theory, Cayley graphs provide a geometric framework for encoding algebraic structures. This study explores the properties of Cayley graphs derived from cyclic groups whose order is the square…
A differential calculus on an associative algebra A is an algebraic analogue of the calculus of differential forms on a smooth manifold. It supplies A with a structure on which dynamics and field theory can be formulated to some extent in…
Divisible design digraphs which can be obtained as Cayley digraphs are studied. A characterization of divisible design Cayley digraphs in terms of the generating sets is given. Further, we give several constructions of divisible design…
We study gauge theory with finite group $G$ on a graph $X$ using noncommutative differential geometry and Hopf algebra methods with $G$-valued holonomies replaced by gauge fields valued in a `finite group Lie algebra' subset of the group…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $S$ be an inverse-closed subset of $G$ not containing the identity. The Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(G,S)$ has vertex set $G$, where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x^{-1}y \in S$.…
A differential calculus of the first order over multi-braided quantum groups is developed. In analogy with the standard theory, left/right-covariant and bicovariant differential structures are introduced and investigated. Furthermore,…
There is a deformation of the ordinary differential calculus which leads from the continuum to a lattice (and induces a corresponding deformation of physical theories). We recall some of its features and relate it to a general framework of…
Efficiency of routing on a regular digraph often involves finding opitmal properties of the graph. For example, the diameter of a digraph is the maximum distance between any two vertices. We show how we can study these problems…
We define a range of new coarse geometric invariants based on various graph-theoretic measures of complexity for finite graphs, including: treewidth, pathwidth, cutwidth and bandwidth. We prove that, for bounded degree graphs, these…
The Cayley-crystals introduced in [F. R. Lux and E. Prodan, Annales Henri Poincar\'e 25(8), 3563 (2024)] are a class of lattices endowed with a Hamiltonian whose translation group $G$ is generic and possibly non-commutative. We show that…
We solve the differentiation problem for Lie $\infty$-groups. Our approach builds on a classical version of Cartier duality which canonically identifies the Hopf algebra of point distributions supported at the identity of a Lie group with…
We introduce a novel formulation for geometry on discrete points. It is based on a universal differential calculus, which gives a geometric description of a discrete set by the algebra of functions. We expand this mathematical framework so…
The differential geometry on a Hopf algebra is constructed, by using the basic axioms of Hopf algebras and noncommutative differential geometry. The space of generalized derivations on a Hopf algebra of functions is presented via the smash…
The Divisibility Graph of a finite group $G$ has vertex set the set of conjugacy class lengths of non-central elements in $G$ and two vertices are connected by an edge if one divides the other. We determine the connected components of the…
In these lectures we consider how algebraic properties of discrete subgroups of Lie groups restrict the possible actions of those groups on surfaces. The results show a strong parallel between the possible actions of such a group on the…
