The finitistic dimension of a triangulated category is introduced. For the category of perfect complexes over a ring it is shown that this dimension is finite if and only if the small finitistic dimension of the ring is finite.
The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…
This paper deals with the subject of infinitesimal variations of Euclidean submanifolds with arbitrary dimension and codimension. The main goal is to establish a Fundamental theorem for these geometric objects. Similar to the theory of…
In this work, we introduce a new geometry based on the difference angle, an angle defined as the difference of slopes of two lines, together with an axiomatic system for angles. This framework provides a constructive approach to the…
In this document, we study the interaction between different geometric structures that can be defined as morphisms of sections of the generalized tangent bundle $\mathbb TM:= TM\oplus T^*M\to M$. In particular, we show the behaviour of…
Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract…
Octupolar order is described in two space dimensions in terms of the maxima (and conjugated minima) of the probability density associated with a third-rank, fully symmetric and traceless tensor. Such a representation is shown to be…
Intermediate dimensions are a class of new fractal dimensions which provide a spectrum of dimensions interpolating between the Hausdorff and box-counting dimensions. In this paper, we study the intermediate dimensions of Moran sets. Moran…
We introduce a notion of dimension for the solution set of a system of algebraic difference equations that measures the degrees of freedom when determining a solution in the ring of sequences. This number need not be an integer, but, as we…
We investigate the category of discrete topological spaces, with emphasis on inverse systems of height $\omega_1$. Their inverse limits belong to the class of $P$-spaces, which allows us to explore dimensional types of these spaces.
In this paper we intend to give some calculus rules for tangent sets in the sense of Bouligand and Ursescu, as well as for corresponding derivatives of set-valued maps. Both first and second order objects are envisaged and the assumptions…
Tangent category theory is a well-established categorical context for differential geometry. In a previous paper, a formal approach was adopted to provide a genuine Grothendieck construction in the context of tangent categories by…
We introduce a pointwise variant of the Assouad dimension for measures on metric spaces, and study its properties in relation to the global Assouad dimension. We show that, in general, the value of the pointwise Assouad dimension differs…
One could begin a study like the present one by simply postulating that our universe is four-dimensional. There are ample reasons for doing this. Experience, observation and experiment all point to the fact that we inhabit a…
We study some aspects when one consider the existence of one extra-dimension in addition to a non-commutative space-time. We present here two different examples, where the first one provides a scenario were it is possible to relate the…
We introduce a continuum of dimensions which are `intermediate' between the familiar Hausdorff and box dimensions. This is done by restricting the families of allowable covers in the definition of Hausdorff dimension by insisting that $|U|…
There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…
This paper is devoted to the study of dimension theory, in particular multifractal analysis, for multimodal maps. We describe the Lyapunov spectrum, generalising previous results by Todd. We also study the multifractal spectrum of pointwise…
In this second part of the paper, dedicated to theories with extra dimensions, a new physical notion about the "tensor length scale" is introduced, based on the gravitational theories with covariant and contravariant metric tensor…
Extremal length is a conformal invariant that transfers naturally to the discrete setting, giving square tilings as a natural combinatorial analog of conformal mappings. Recent work by S. Hersonsky has explored generalizing these ideas to…
