The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula is a general result for the quantity $Z(X,Y)=\ln( e^X e^Y )$, where $X$ and $Y$ are not necessarily commuting. For completely general commutation relations between $X$ and $Y$, (the free Lie algebra),…

The Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives are generalized for cases when fractional exponent $d$ are functions of space and times coordinates (i.e. $d=d({\bf r}(t),t)$).

We develop an arithmetic analogue of linear partial differential equations in two independent ``space-time'' variables. The spatial derivative is a Fermat quotient operator, while the time derivative is the usual derivation. This allows us…

Let $A(t)$ be a continuous path of Fredhom operators, we first prove that the spectral flow $sf(A(t))$ is cogredient invariant. Based on this property, we give a decomposition formula of spectral flow if the path is invariant under a…

This paper introduces the notions of vector field and flow on a general differentiable stack. Our main theorem states that the flow of a vector field on a compact proper differentiable stack exists and is unique up to a uniquely determined…

Adapting Lindstr\"om's well-known construction, we consider a wide class of functions which are generated by flows in a planar acyclic directed graph whose vertices (or edges) take weights in an arbitrary commutative semiring. We give a…

If $f_1,f_2$ are smooth vector fields on an open subset of an Euclidean space and $[f_1,f_2]$ is their Lie bracket, the asymptotic formula $$\Psi_{[f_1,f_2]}(t_1,t_2)(x) - x =t_1t_2 [f_1,f_2](x) +o(t_1t_2),$$ where we have set $…

In this short note, we present certain generalized versions of the commutator formulas of some natural operators on manifolds, and give some applications.

Fractional derivative can be defined as a fractional power of derivative. The commutator (i/h)[H, ], which is used in the Heisenberg equation, is a derivation on a set of observables. A derivation is a map that satisfies the Leibnitz rule.…

The_commuting variety_ is the pairs of NxN matrices (X,Y) such that XY = YX. We introduce the_diagonal commutator scheme_, {(X,Y) : XY-YX is diagonal}, which we prove to be a reduced complete intersection, one component of which is the…

We present a direct derivation of the typical time derivatives used in a continuum description of complex fluid flows, harnessing the principles of the kinematics of line elements. The evolution of the microstructural conformation tensor in…

We give a formula for matrix exponentials and partial fraction decompositions.

A generalization of exterior calculus is considered by allowing the partial derivatives in the exterior derivative to assume fractional orders. That is, a fractional exterior derivative is defined. This is found to generate new vector…

Let $T\times X\rightarrow X, (t,x)\mapsto tx$, be a topological semiflow on a topological space $X$ with phase semigroup $T$. We introduce and discuss in this paper various transitivity dynamics of $(T,X)$.

We generalize some of the results of Harvey, Lawson and Latschev about transgression formulas. The focus here is on flowing forms via vertical vector fields, especially Morse-Bott-Smale vector fields. We prove a very general transgression…

We derive an action-flux formula to compute the volumes of lobes quantifying transport between past- and future-invariant Lagrangian coherent structures of n-dimensional, transitory, globally Liouville flows. A transitory system is one that…

We construct a Floer type boundary operator for generalised Morse-Smale dynamical systems on compact smooth manifolds by counting the number of suitable flow lines between closed (both homoclinic and periodic) orbits and isolated critical…

Methods from the geometry of nonholonomic manifolds and Lagrange-Finsler spaces are applied in fractional calculus with Caputo derivatives and for elaborating models of fractional gravity and fractional Lagrange mechanics. The geometric…

Let $(T,X)$ with phase mapping $(t,x)\mapsto tx$ be a semiflow on a compact $\textrm{T}_2$-space $X$ with phase semigroup $T$ such that $tX=X$ for each $t$ of $T$. An $x\in X$ is called an \textit{a.a. point} if $t_nx\to y, x_n^\prime\to…

For a vector field $X$ on a smooth manifold $M$ there exists a smooth but not necessarily Hausdorff manifold $M_\Bbb R$ and a complete vector field $X_\Bbb R$ on it which is the universal completion of $(M,X)$.
