A generalization of the differential geometry of forms and vector fields to the case of quantum Lie algebras is given. In an abstract formulation that incorporates many existing examples of differential geometry on quantum spaces we combine…
A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…
A rather simple natural outer derivation of the graded Lie algebra of all vector valued differential forms with the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket turns out to be a differential and gives rise to a cohomology of the manifold, which is…
Regular $A_n$-, $B_n$- and $C_n$-crystals are edge-colored directed graphs, with ordered colors $1,2,...,n$, which are related to representations of quantized algebras $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$, $U_q(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})$ and…
We study a combinatorial model of the quantum scalar field with polynomial potential on a graph. In the first quantization formalism, the value of a Feynman graph is given by a sum over maps from the Feynman graph to the spacetime graph…
A class of differential calculi is explored which is determined by a set of automorphisms of the underlying associative algebra. Several examples are presented. In particular, differential calculi on the quantum plane, the $h$-deformed…
We present an axiomatic approach to finite- and infinite-dimensional differential calculus over arbitrary infinite fields (and, more generally, suitable rings). The corresponding basic theory of manifolds and Lie groups is developed.…
We give a definition of differentiable cohomology of a Lie group G (possibly infinite-dimensional) with coefficients in any abelian Lie group. This differentiable cohomology maps both to the cohomology of the group made discrete and to Lie…
Differentiable conjugacies link dynamical systems that share properties such as the stability multipliers of corresponding orbits. It provides a stronger classification than topological conjugacy, which only requires qualitative similarity.…
The bivariate $P$- and $Q$-polynomial structures of association schemes based on attenuated spaces are examined using recurrence and difference relations of the bivariate polynomials which form the eigenvalues of the scheme. These…
The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…
We use the method of synthetic differential geometry to revisit the geometric reasoning employed by Lie, Klein and others in their study of partial differential equations.
We use the differential algebra of polytopes to explain the known remarkable relation of the combinatorics of the associahedra and permutohedra with the universal compositional and multiplicative inversion formulas for the formal power…
We define and study a class of finite topological spaces, which model the cell structure of a space obtained by gluing finitely many Euclidean convex polyhedral cells along congruent faces. We call these finite topological spaces,…
A combinatorial theory for type $R_I$ orthogonal polynomials is given. The ingredients include weighted generalized Motzkin paths, moments, continued fractions, determinants, and histories. Several explicit examples in the Askey scheme are…
We construct a new equivariant cohomology theory for a certain class of differential vertex algebras, which we call the chiral equivariant cohomology. A principal example of a differential vertex algebra in this class is the chiral de Rham…
Real-valued differential forms on Berkovich analytic spaces were introduced by Chambert-Loir and Ducros in 'Formes diff\'erentielles r\'eelles et courants sur les espaces de Berkovich' using superforms on polyhedral complexes. We prove a…
This paper introduces a notion of differential forms on closed, potentially fractal, subsets of Euclidean space by defining pointwise cotangent spaces using the restriction of $C^1$ functions to this set. Aspects of cohomology are…
Recently N.Jing discovered a certain combinatorial identity from validity of the Serre relations in some vertex representations of quantum Kac-Moody algebras. We generalize this identity, in particular, extending it from polynomials to…
We discuss certain aspects of the combinatorial approach to the differential geometry of non-abelian gerbes, due to W. Messing and the author (arXiv:math.AG/0106083), and give a more direct derivation of the associated cocycle equations.…
