The goal of this note is to describe a class of formal deformations of a symplectic manifold $M$ in the case when the base ring of the deformation problem involves parameters of non-positive degrees. The interesting feature of such…
Let H be a Hopf algebra, A a left H-module algebra and V a left H-module A-bimodule. We study the behavior of the right A-linear endomorphisms of V under twist deformation. We in particular construct a bijective quantization map to the…
For studying the local topology of maps, one uses deformations which split the singularities into simpler ones while preserving the general fibres. We give conditions under which such conservation holds.
We study new coalgebra structures on the tensor product of two coalgebras $C$ and $D$ by twisting the tensor product coalgebra via a twist map $\Psi: C \otimes D \rightarrow D \otimes C$. We deal with the general case in which the counit of…
We present an approach to classical definitions and results on cumulant--moment relations and Wick polynomials based on extensive use of convolution products of linear functionals on a coalgebra. This allows, in particular, to understand…
It is outlined how deformations of field theoretical rigid symmetries can be constructed and classified by cohomological means in the extended antifield formalism. Special attention is devoted to deformations referring only to a subset of…
In this article we use our constructions from "Enlargements of Categories" (Theory and Applications of Categories, 14:357-398) to lay down some foundations for the application of A. Robinson's nonstandard methods to modern Algebraic…
In this paper we construct a deformation quantization of the algebra of polynomials of an arbitrary (regular and non regular) coadjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group. The deformed algebra is given as a quotient of the enveloping…
Matrix congruence can be used to mimic linear maps between homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ variables. We introduce a generalization, called standard-form congruence, which mimics affine maps between non-homogeneous quadratic…
We study modules over the algebroid stack $\W[\stx]$ of deformation quantization on a complex symplectic manifold $\stx$ and recall some results: construction of an algebra for $\star$-products, existence of (twisted) simple modules along…
In this paper, the second in a series of eight we continue our development of the basic tools of the multivector and extensor calculus which are used in our formulation of the differential geometry of smooth manifolds of arbitrary topology…
In this text, we wish to provide the reader with a short guide to recent works on the theory of dilatations in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. These works fall naturally into two categories: one emphasises foundational and…
The purpose of this paper is fourfold. The first is to develop the theory of tropical differential algebraic geometry from scratch; the second is to present the tropical fundamental theorem for differential algebraic geometry, and show how…
In this short note we show that representation and character varieties of discrete groups can be viewed as tensor products of suitable functors over the PROP of cocommutative Hopf algebras. Such view point has several interesting…
We consider noncommutative geometries obtained from a triangular Drinfeld twist. This allows to construct and study a wide class of noncommutative manifolds and their deformed Lie algebras of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. This way symmetry…
This note intertwines the concepts of degeneration and contraction of algebras and quadratic forms defined on a vector space V . The general linear group GL(V ) acts regularly on the spaces of these two objects. The base field is taken to…
We give a conceptual explanation of universal deformation formulas for unital associative algebras and prove some results on the structure of their moduli spaces. We then generalize universal deformation formulas to other types of algebras…
The goal of this paper is to develop some aspects of the deformation theory of piecewise flat structures on surfaces and use this theory to construct new geometric structures on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
In some scientific fields, a scaling is able to modify the topology of an observed object. Our goal in the present work is to introduce a new formalism adapted to the mathematical representation of this kind of phenomenon. To this end, we…
The purpose of this paper is to study deformation theory of Hom-associative algebra morphisms and Hom-Lie algebra morphisms. We introduce a suitable cohomology and discuss Infinitesimal deformations, equivalent deformations and…
