We present a geometric framework for discrete classical field theories, where fields are modeled as "morphisms" defined on a discrete grid in the base space, and take values in a Lie groupoid. We describe the basic geometric setup and…

Discretized nonabelian gauge theories living on finite group spaces G are defined by means of a geometric action \int Tr F \wedge *F. This technique is extended to obtain discrete versions of the Born-Infeld action. The discretizations are…

A Kerr type solution in the Regge calculus is considered. It is assumed that the discrete general relativity, the Regge calculus, is quantized within the path integral approach. The only consequence of this approach used here is the…

Discrete analogs of the Darboux-Egoroff metrics are considered. It is shown that the corresponding lattices in the Euclidean space are described by discrete analogs of the Lame equations. It is proved that up to a gauge transformation these…

A short proof of convergence for the discretization of the Hodge-Dirac operator in the framework of discrete exterior calculus (DEC) is provided using the techniques established in [Johnny Guzm\'an and Pratyush Potu, A Framework for…

In this paper, we study the discrete differential calculus on hypergraphs by using the Kouzul complexes. We define the constrained (co)homology for hypergraphs and give the corresponding Mayer-Vietoris sequences. We prove the functoriality…

A new approach is suggested to quantum differential calculus on certain quantum varieties. It consists in replacing quantum de Rham complexes with differentials satisfying Leibniz rule by those which are in a sense close to Koszul complexes…

Robin Forman's highly influential 2002 paper A User's Guide to Discrete Morse Theory presents an overview of the subject in a very readable manner. As a proof of concept, the author determines the topology (homotopy type) of the abstract…

We present an analog to classic potential theory on weighted graphs. With nodes partitioned into exterior, boundary and interior nodes and an appropriate decomposition of the Laplacian, we define discrete analogues to the trace operators,…

We consider a pseudo-Riemannian metric that changes signature along a smooth curve on a surface, called the discriminant curve. The discriminant curve separates the surface locally into a Riemannian and a Lorentzian domain. We study the…

A certain representation for the Heisenberg algebra in finite-difference operators is established. The Lie-algebraic procedure of discretization of differential equations with isospectral property is proposed. Using $sl_2$-algebra based…

We develop eigenvalue estimates for the Laplacians on discrete and metric graphs using different types of boundary conditions at the vertices of the metric graph. Via an explicit correspondence of the equilateral metric and discrete graph…

A notion of implicit difference equation on a Lie groupoid is introduced and an algorithm for extracting the integrable part (backward or/and forward) is formulated. As an application, we prove that discrete Lagrangian dynamics on a Lie…

This paper studies geometric structures on noncommutative hypersurfaces within a module-theoretic approach to noncommutative Riemannian (spin) geometry. A construction to induce differential, Riemannian and spinorial structures from a…

We study aspects of noncommutative Riemannian geometry of the path algebra arising from the Kronecker quiver with N arrows. To start with, the framework of derivation based differential calculi is recalled together with a discussion on…

The purpose of this paper is to describe geometrically discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics on Lie groupoids. From a variational principle we derive the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and we introduce a symplectic 2-section,…

In this work, we introduce a global theory of subelliptic pseudo-differential operators on arbitrary homogeneous vector bundles over orientable compact homogeneous manifolds. We will show that a global pseudo-differential calculus can be…

This article gives an up-to-date account of the theory of discrete group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces. As an introduction of the motifs of this article, we begin by reviewing the current knowledge of possible global forms of…

We present a discrete form of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for quantum gravitation, based on the lattice formulation due to Regge. In this setup the infinite-dimensional manifold of 3-geometries is replaced by a space of three-dimensional…

Discrete exterior calculus offers a coordinate--free discretization of exterior calculus especially suited for computations on meshes over curved manifolds. The discretization of the wedge product, that would be compatible with discrete…
