Bosonic and Fermionic Singularities in Diffeology

Abstract

We explore the differential geometry of the quadrant C2=[0,[2C_2 = [0,\infty[^2, equipped with the subset diffeology of R2\mathbf{R}^2. We show a striking dichotomy between differential forms and symmetric tensors. While differential forms on C2C_2 are simply restrictions of smooth forms on R2\mathbf{R}^2 (a "Fermionic" behavior where singularities are hidden), symmetric tensors exhibit a "Bosonic" behavior where singularities accumulate. We prove a decomposition theorem identifying exactly the singular parts: they are purely axial. Surprisingly, the mixed interaction term is forced to be regular by the symmetries of the corner. Finally, we introduce the notion of \emph{singular capacity} to quantify the order of singularity a tensor can support.
