We give an algorithm to write down all conformally invariant differential operators acting between scalar functions on Minkowski space. All operators of order k are nonlinear and are functions on a finite family of functionally independent…
The notion of an exterior differential system (on a manifold) has recently been extended to the setting of a Lie algebroid. Here, we further develop the theory and we present two versions of the Cartan-K\"ahler theorem in the case where the…
We introduce the concept of directed orbifold, namely triples (X, V, D) formed by a directed algebraic or analytic variety (X, V), and a ramification divisor D, where V is a coherent subsheaf of the tangent bundle TX. In this context, we…
We study a probabilistic variant of the r-th sequential parametrized topological complexity, which bounds this classical invariant from below and measures the difficulty in constructing permissive parametrized motion planning algorithms. On…
We define a new notion of fiber-wise linear differential operator on the total space of a vector bundle $E$. Our main result is that fiber-wise linear differential operators on $E$ are equivalent to (polynomial) derivations of an…

We present a theory and applications of discrete exterior calculus on simplicial complexes of arbitrary finite dimension. This can be thought of as calculus on a discrete space. Our theory includes not only discrete differential forms but…
Invariant Lagrangians yield invariant Euler-Lagrange equations, and it was discussed in the literature how to compute those using various local methods. The focus of this paper is on global algebraic differential invariants. In this case…

We describe a topological predual to differential forms constructed as an inductive limit of a sequence of Banach spaces. This subspace of currents has nice properties, in that Dirac chains and polyhedral chains are dense, and its operator…
We study differential invariants of linear differential operators and use them to find conditions for equivalence of differential operators acting in line bundles over smooth manifolds with respect to groups of authomorphisms.
We investigate a particular realization of generalized q-differential calculus of exterior forms on a smooth manifold based on the assumption that the N-th power (N>2) of exterior differential is equal to zero. It implies the existence of…
