Non-smooth differential geometry and algebras of generalized functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Algebras of generalized functions offer possibilities beyond the purely distributional approach in modelling singular quantities in non-smooth differential geometry. This article presents an introductory survey of recent developments in this field and highlights some applications in mathematical physics.

How to Solve Smooth Nonlinear PDEs in Algebras of Generalized Functions with Dense Singularities
As a significant strengthening of properties of earlier algebras of generalized functions, here are presented classes of such algebras which can deal with dense singularities. In fact, the cardinal of the set of singular points can be larger than that of the nonsingular points. This large class of singularities allows the solution of large classes of smooth nonlinear PDEs. This in certain ways ...

The Lipschitz function algebras were first defined in the 1960s by some mathematicians, including Schubert. Initially, the Lipschitz real-value and complex-value functions are defined and quantitative properties of these algebras are investigated. Over time these algebras have been studied and generalized by many mathematicians such as Cao, Zhang, Xu, Weaver, and others. Let be a non-emp...

Recently the space-time foam differential algebras of generalized functions with dense singularities were introduced, motivated by the so called space-time foam structures in General Relativity with dense singularities, and by Quantum Gravity. A variety of applications of these algebras has been presented, among them, a global Cauchy-Kovalevskaia theorem, de Rham co-homology in abstract differe...

The non-commutative algebraic analog of the moduli of vector and covector fields is built. The structure of moduli of derivations of non-commutative algebras are studied. The canonical coupling is introduced and the conditions for appropriate moduli to be reflexive are obtained. FOREWORD The duality problem we are going to tackle stems from the non-commutative generalization of differential geo...
متن کاملSpace-Time Foam Differential Algebras of Generalized Functions and a Global Cauchy-Kovalevskaia Theorem
The new global version of the Cauchy-Kovalevskaia theorem presented here is a strengthening and extension of the regularity of similar global solutions obtained earlier by the author. Recently the spacetime foam differential algebras of generalized functions with dense singularities were introduced. A main motivation for these algebras comes from the so called space-time foam structures in Gene...
