A variational principle is suggested within Riemannnian geometry, in which an auxiliary metric and the Levi Civita connection are varied independently. The auxiliary metric plays the role of a Lagrange multiplier and introduces non-minimal…
In this paper, we define and study (co)homology theories of a compatible associative algebra $A$. At first, we construct a new graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by compatible associative structures. Then we define…
Gravity theories with non-minimally coupled scalar fields are used as characteristic examples in order to demonstrate the challenges, pitfalls and future perspectives of considering alternatives to general relativity. These lecture notes…
We introduce the concept of a Girard couple, which consists of two (not necessarily unital) quantales linked by a strong form of duality. The two basic examples of Girard couples arise in the study of endomorphism quantales and of the…
If $L$ is a semisimple Lie algebra of vector fields on R^N with a split Cartan subalgebra C, then it is proved that the dimension of the generic orbit of C coincides with the dimension of C. As a consequence one obtains a local canonical…
The non-Abelian tensor gauge fields take value in extended Poincar\'e algebra. In order to define the invariant Lagrangian we introduce a vector variable in two alternative ways: through the transversal representation of the extended…
This talk is an introduction to ideas of non-commutative geometry and star products. We will discuss consequences for physics in two different settings: quantum field theories and astrophysics. In case of quantum field theory, we will…
The centralizer algebra of a matrix consists of those matrices that commute with it. We investigate the basic representation-theoretic invariants of centralizer algebras, namely their radicals, projective indecomposable modules, injective…
We formulate a method of computing invariant 1-forms and structure equations of symmetry pseudo-groups of differential equations based on Cartan's method of equivalence and the moving coframe method introduced by Fels and Olver. Our…
We define a new canonical height pairing on the rational points of elliptic curves over global function fields which takes values in the multiplicative group of a completion of the function field. This height serves as an analogue of both…
In this paper we study Cartan subalgebras in general and special linear algebras over a field of positive characteristic. We determined the conjugacy classes of Cartan subalgebras under the general linear groups, and count the explicit…
The cartesian structure possessed by relations, spans, profunctors, and other such morphisms is elegantly expressed by universal properties in double categories. Though cartesian double categories were inspired in part by the older program…
An infinite family of integrable vortex equations is studied and related to the Cartan geometry of the underlying Riemann surfaces. This Cartan picture gives an interpretation of the vortex equations as the flatness of a non-Abelian…
A (complete) matching of the cells of a triangulated manifold can be thought as a combinatorial or discrete version of a nonsingular vector field. We give several methods for constructing such matchings.
We express the first jet bundle of curves in Euclidean space as homogeneous spaces associated to a Galilean-type group. Certain Cartan connections on a manifold with values in the Lie algebra of the Galilean group are characterized as…
Let $(X,B)$ be a log canonical pair and $\mathcal{V}$ be a finite set of divisorial valuations with log discrepancy in $[0,1)$. We prove that there exists a projective birational morphism $\pi \colon Y\rightarrow X$ so that the exceptional…
Convenient parameterizations of matrices in terms of vectors transform (certain classes of) matrix equations into covariant (hence rotation-invariant) vector equations. Certain recently introduced such parameterizations are tersely…
We introduce and study a new type of mappings in metric spaces termed $n$-point Kannan-type mappings. A fixed-point theorem is proved for these mappings. In general case such mappings are discontinuous in the domain but necessarily…
We introduce and study a class of Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras defined via quivers with relations associated with symmetrizable Cartan matrices. These algebras generalize the path algebras of quivers associated with symmetric Cartan…
In this paper we introduce non-commutative fields and forms on a new kind of non-commutative algebras: $\rho$-algebras. We also define the Fr\"{o}licher--Nijenhuis bracket in the non-commutative geometry on $\rho$-algebras.
