In this paper, weakly homogeneous generalized functions in the special Colombeau algebras are determined up to equality in the sense of generalized distributions. This yields characterizations that are formally similar to distribution…
In this paper, we give a geometrization and a generalization of a lemma of differential Galois theory. This geometrization, in addition of giving a nice insight on this result, offers us the occasion to investigate several points of…
We propose the use of algebras of generalized functions for the analysis of certain highly singular problems in the calculus of variations. After a general study of extremal problems on open subsets of Euclidean space in this setting we…
We define the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions on the space of generalized points of {\mathbb R}^d which naturally contains the tempered generalized functions. The subalgebra of \mathscr{S}-regular generalized functions of this…
Generalisations of geometry have emerged in various forms in the study of field theory and quantization. This mini-review focuses on the role of higher geometry in three selected physical applications. After motivating and describing some…
This paper presents asymptotic covariance formulae and central limit theorems for geometric functionals, including volume, surface area, and all Minkowski functionals and translation invariant Minkowski tensors as prominent examples, of…
This is an extended version of a communication made at the international conference ``Noncommutative Geometry and Physics'' held at Orsay in april 2007. In this proceeding, we make a review of some noncommutative constructions connected to…
We show that spaces of Colombeau generalized functions with smooth parameter dependence are isomorphic to those with continuous parametrization. Based on this result we initiate a systematic study of algebraic properties of the ring…
Ideas from deformation quantization applied to algebras with one generator lead to methods to treat a nonlinear flat connection. It provides us elements of algebras to be parallel sections. The moduli space of the parallel sections is…
We define a general notion of set of indices which, using concepts from pre-ordered sets theory, permits to unify the presentation of several Colombeau-type algebras of nonlinear generalized functions. In every set of indices it is possible…
The continuity, in a suitable topology, of algebraic and geometric operations on real analytic manifolds and vector bundles is proved. This is carried out using recently arrived at seminorms for the real analytic topology. A new…
The definition of a non-trivial space of generalized functions of a complex variable allowing to consider derivatives of continuous functions is a non-obvious task, e.g. because of Morera theorem, because distributional Cauchy-Riemann…
We study projective manifolds with nonamenable and non-residually finite fundamental groups. We generalize the uniformization theorem of our earlier note. We generalize a classical theorem of Maltsev about finitely generated subgroups of…
The aim of this work is to lay the foundations of differential geometry and Lie theory over the general class of topological base fields and -rings for which a differential calculus has been developed in recent work (collaboration with H.…
Starting with a Hilbert space endowed with a representation of a unitary Lie algebra and an action of a generalized Dirac operator, we develop a mathematical concept towards gauge field theories. This concept shares common features with the…
A topological description of various generalized function algebras over corresponding basic locally convex algebras is given. The framework consists of algebras of sequences with appropriate ultra(pseudo)metrics defined by sequences of…
Recently, a geometrical characterization of vector spaces served to generalize them into a new class of algebras. Instead of the algebraic properties of the underlying fields, we generalized the recently discovered property of such spaces…
In this review article we present regularity properties of generalized functions which are useful in the analysis of non-linear problems. It is shown that Schwartz distributions embedded into our new spaces of generalized functions, with…
We reconsider differential geometry from the point of view of the quantum theory of non-relativistic spinning particles, which provides examples of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. This enables us to encode geometrical structure in…
Endomorphisms algebras can replace the concept of principal fiber bundle. Gauge theories are reformulated within this algebraic framework and further generalized to unify ordinary connections and Higgs fields. A 'noncommutative Maxwell'…
