We present a general theorem which computes the cohomology of a homological vector field on global sections of vector bundles over smooth affine supervarieties. The hypotheses and results have the clear flavor of a localization theorem.

We extend calculus from smooth manifolds to topological manifolds making use of a theory of generalized functions developed for this aim. Actually such extension fits into a boarder context: the universal construction of a site containing…

Skeleta and other pure subsets of manifold stratified spaces are shown to have neighborhoods which are teardrops of stratified approximate fibrations (under dimension and compactness assumptions). In general, the stratified approximate…

We extend the classical fundamental theorem of the local theory of smooth curves to a wider class of non-smooth data. Curvature and torsion are prescribed in terms of the distributional derivative measures of two given functions of bounded…

Motivated by the definition of the smooth manifold structure on a suitable mapping space, we consider the general problem of how to transfer local properties from a smooth space to an associated mapping space. This leads to the notion of…

We introduce an asymmetric operator of generalised translation, define the generalised modulus of smoothness by its means, and obtain the direct and inverse theorems in approximation theory for it.

It is shown that the correct mathematical implementation of symmetry in the geometric formulation of classical field theory leads naturally beyond the concept of Lie groups and their actions on manifolds, out into the realm of Lie group…

In this paper, by refining approximation theorems for holomorphic sections of adjoint line bundles, it is proved that the regular locus of a weakly pseudoconvex complex space admitting a positive line bundle can be holomorphically embedded…

We derive a generalized Stokes' theorem, valid in any dimension and for arbitrary loops, even if self intersecting or knotted. The generalized theorem does not involve an auxiliary surface, but inherits a higher rank gauge symmetry from the…

We define a simplicial category called the category of derived manifolds. It contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full discrete subcategory, and it is closed under taking arbitrary intersections in a manifold. A derived manifold…

Following the classical results of Stong, we introduce a cohomological analogue of a core of a finite sheaved topological space and propose an algorithm for simplification in this category. In particular we generalize the notion of beat…

We restate the semistable reduction theorem from geometric invariant theory in the context of spaces of morphisms on $\mathbb{P}^{n}$. For every complete curve $C$ downstairs, we get a $\mathbb{P}^{n}$-bundle on an abstract curve $D$…

We generalize the classical Chevalley-Shephard-Todd theorem to the case of finite linearly reductive group schemes. As an application, we prove that every scheme X which is etale locally the quotient of a smooth scheme by a finite linearly…

We prove that smooth 1-dimensional topological field theories over a manifold are equivalent to vector bundles with connection. The main novelty is our definition of the smooth 1-dimensional bordism category, which encodes cutting laws…

A well-known theorem of W. Fischer and H. Grauert states that analytic fiber spaces with all fibers isomorphic to a fixed compact connected complex manifold are locally trivial. Motivated by this result, we show that if $k$ is an…

A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of…

For strongly convex objectives that are smooth, the classical theory of gradient descent ensures linear convergence relative to the number of gradient evaluations. An analogous nonsmooth theory is challenging. Even when the objective is…

One can represent Schwartz distributions with values in a vector bundle $E$ by smooth sections of $E$ with distributional coefficients. Moreover, any linear continuous operator which maps $E$-valued distributions to smooth sections of…

We study the relations between the triviality of the tangent bundle $TM$ and the generalized tangent bundle $\mathbb{T}M = TM\oplus T^*M$ of a manifold. We show that the generalized tangent bundle of a paralellizable manifold is trivial. We…

We propose a patchwise local Fourier extension method for approximating smooth functions on general two dimensional domains with curved boundaries. The domain is embedded into a Cartesian background grid and decomposed into rectangular…
