We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions that we call difference-restriction algebras and a category of Hausdorff \'etale spaces. Difference-restriction algebras are those algebras isomorphic to…

We study the ring of differential operators D(X) on the basic affine space X=G/U of a complex semisimple group G with maximal unipotent subgroup U. One of the main results shows that the cohomology group H^*(X,O_X) decomposes as a finite…

A bi-invariant differential 2-form on a Lie group G is a highly constrained object, being determined by purely linear data: an Ad-invariant alternating bilinear form on the Lie algebra of G. On a compact connected Lie group these have an…

Let $D:\Omega\xrightarrow{}\Omega$ be a differential operator defined in the exterior algebra $\Omega$ of differential forms over the polynomial ring $S$ in $n$ variables. In this work we give conditions for deforming the module structure…

In these lectures, we discuss two approaches to studying orbit spaces of algebraic Lie groups. Due to algebraic approach orbit space, or quotient, is an algebraic manifold, while from the differential viewpoint a quotient is a differential…

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…

This paper generalises a result for upper triangular matrix rings to the situation of upper triangular matrix DGA's. An upper triangular matrix DGA has the form (R,S,M) where R and S are differential graded algebras and M is a…

We introduce perfect resolving algebras and study their fundamental properties. These algebras are basic for our theory of differential graded schemes, as they give rise to affine differential graded schemes. We also introduce etale…

We study from an algebraic point of view the question of extending an action of a group \(\Gamma\) on a commutative domain \(R\) to a formal pseudodifferential operator ring \(B=R(\!(x\,;\,d)\!)\) with coefficients in \(R\), as well as to…

Isomorphisms of separable Hilbert spaces are analogous to isomorphisms of n-dimensional vector spaces. However, while n-dimensional spaces in applications are always realized as the Euclidean space R^n, Hilbert spaces admit various useful…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional, commutative algebra over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. The notion of $A$-differentiable functions on $A$ is extended to the notion of $A$-differentiable functions on a finitely generated $A$-module $B$. Let…

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…

Differential algebraic geometry seeks to extend the results of its algebraic counterpart to objects defined by differential equations. Many notions, such as that of a projective algebraic variety, have close differential analogues but their…

For any manifold $M$, we introduce a $\ZZ $-graded differential algebra $\Xi$, which, in particular, is a bi-module over the associative algebra $C(M\cup M)$. We then introduce the corresponding covariant differentials and show how this…

The main purpose of this paper is to describe various phenomena and certain constructions arising in the process of studying derived noncommutative schemes. Derived noncommutative schemes are defined as differential graded categories of a…

Invited talk at the International Symposium on Generalized Symmetries in Physics at the Arnold-Sommerfeld-Institute, Clausthal, Germany, July 26 -- July 29, 1993. This talk reviews results on the structure of algebras consisting of…

We construct geometric examples of N-differential graded algebras such as the algebra of differential forms of depth $N$ on an affine manifold, and $N$-flat covariant derivatives.

We explore the differential geometry of finite sets where the differential structure is given by a quiver rather than as more usual by a graph. In the finite group case we show that the data for such a differential calculus is described by…

We define a class of maps between holomorphically embedded null curves which generalize conformal transformations, and can be defined in any complex dimension. In four dimensions, we can also define a similar map between self-dual surfaces,…

We study moduli spaces of mirror non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds enhanced with choices of differential forms. The differential forms are elements of the middle dimensional cohomology whose variation is described by a variation of mixed…
