Transports along path in fibre bundles are axiomatically introduced. Their general functional form and some their simple properties are investigated. The relationships of the transports along paths and lifting of paths are studied.

Let $L=\DD+Z$ for a $C^1$ vector field $Z$ on a complete Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary. By using the uniform distance, a number of transportation-cost inequalities on the path space for the (reflecting) $L$-diffusion process…

We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.
Transports preserving the angle between two contravariant vector fields but changing their lengths proportional to their own lengths are introduced as ''conformal'' transports and investigated over spaces with contravariant and covariant…
This note addresses the construction of a notion of parallel transport along superpaths arising from the concept of a superconnection on a vector bundle over a manifold $M$. A superpath in $M$ is, loosely speaking, a path in $M$ together…
In this paper, we expand on previous work describing partial derivatives and metric component estimators to define tangent spaces on causal sets. Partial derivative operators are the basis vectors of the tangent space, and the metric…
The theory of spaces with different (not only by sign) contravariant and covariant affine connections and metrics [}$(\bar{L}_n,g)$\QTR{it}{-spaces] is worked out within the framework of the tensor analysis over differentiable manifolds and…
A covariant, global, variational framework for perturbations in field theories is presented. Perturbations are obtained as vertical vector fields on the configuration bundle and they drag, exactly, solution into solutions. The flow of a…
Geometric torsions are torsions of acyclic complexes of vector spaces which consist of differentials of geometric quantities assigned to the elements of a manifold triangulation. We use geometric torsions to construct invariants for a…
In this work we establish a theory of Calculus based on the new concept of displacement. We develop all the concepts and results necessary to go from the definition to differential equations, starting with topology and measure and moving on…
Most transport theorems---that is, a formula for the rate of change of an integral in which both the integrand and domain of integration depend on time---involve domains that evolve according to a flow map. Such domains are said to be…
We introduce a program aimed to studying problems arising from the theory of complex networks with differential geometric means. We study the propagation of influences on manifolds assuming that at each point only a finite number of…
We consider the variational complex on infinite jet space and the complex of variational derivatives for Lagrangians of multidimensional paths and study relations between them. The discussion of the variational (bi)complex is set up in…
In this series of papers I examine a special kind of geometric objects that can be defined in space-time --- five-dimensional tangent vectors. Similar objects exist in any other differentiable manifold, and their dimension is one unit…
Recently, it has been shown that Absolute Parallelism (AP) geometry admits paths that are naturally quantized. These paths have been used to describe the motion of spinning particles in a background gravitational field. In case of a weak…

We show how the tangent bundle decomposition generated by a system of ordinary differential equations may be generalized to the case of a system of second order PDEs `of connection type'. Whereas for ODEs the decomposition is intrinsic, for…
