چکیده
We give in this paper which is the third in a series of four a theory of covariant derivatives of representatives of multivector and extensor fields on an arbitrary open set U ⊂ M , based on the geometric and extensor calculus on an arbitrary smooth manifold M. This is done by introducing the notion of a connection extensor field γ defining a parallelism structure on U ⊂ M , which represents in a well defined way the action on U of the restriction there of some given connection ∇ defined on M. Also we give a novel and intrinsic presentation (i.e., one that does not depend on a chosen orthonormal moving frame) of the torsion and curvature fields of Cartan's theory. Two kinds of Cartan's connection operator fields are identified, and both appear in the intrinsic Cartan's structure equations satisfied by the Cartan's torsion and curvature extensor fields. We introduce moreover a metrical extensor g in U corresponding to the restriction there of given metric tensor gdefined on M and also introduce the concept a geometric structure (U, γ, g) for U ⊂ M and study metric compatibility of covariant derivatives induced by the connection extensor γ. This permits the presentation of the concept of gauge (deformed) derivatives which satisfy noticeable properties useful in differential geometry and geometrical theories of the gravitational field. Several derivatives operators in metric and geometrical structures, like ordinary and covariant Hodge coderivatives and some duality identities are exhibit.

This is the first paper in a series of three where we develope a systematic approach to the geometric algebras of multivectors and ex-tensors. The series is followed by another one where those algebraic concepts are used in a novel presentation of the differential geometry of (smooth) manifolds of arbitrary global topology. The key calcu-lational tool in our program is the euclidean geometrical...

Some basic notions of classical algebraic geometry can be defined in arbitrary varieties of algebras Θ. For every algebra H in Θ one can consider algebraic geometry in Θ over H. Correspondingly, algebras in Θ are considered with the emphasis on equations and geometry. We give examples of geometric properties of algebras in Θ and of geometric relations between them. The main problem considered i...

A short proof of the fact that isomorphisms between algebras of smooth functions on Hausdorff smooth manifolds are implemented by diffeomorphisms is given. It is not required that manifolds are second countable or paracompact. This solves a problem stated by A. Wienstein. Some related results are discussed as well.
