The Frölicher-Nijenhuis Calculus in Synthetic Differential Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Just as the Jacobi identity of vector fields is a natural consequence of the general Jacobi identity of microcubes in synthetic differential geometry, it is to be shown in this paper that the graded Jacobi identity of the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket is also a natural consequence of the general Jacobi identity of microcubes.

A New Look at the Schouten-Nijenhuis, Frölicher-Nijenhuis and Nijenhuis-Richardson Brackets for Symplectic Spaces
In this paper we re-express the Schouten-Nijenhuis, the Frölicher-Nijenhuis and the Nijenhuis-Richardson brackets on a symplectic space using the extended Poisson brackets structure present in the path-integral formulation of classical mechanics.
متن کاملTwo Approaches to Modelling the Universe: Synthetic Differential Geometry and Frame-Valued Sets
I describe two approaches to modelling the universe, the one having its origin in topos theory and differential geometry, the other in set theory. The first is synthetic differential geometry. Traditionally, there have been two methods of deriving the theorems of geometry: the analytic and the synthetic. While the analytical method is based on the introduction of numerical coordinates, and so o...
متن کاملGraded Derivations of the Algebra of Differential Forms Associated with a Connection
The central part of calculus on manifolds is usually the calculus of differential forms and the best known operators are exterior derivative, Lie derivatives, pullback and insertion operators. Differential forms are a graded commutative algebra and one may ask for the space of graded derivations of it. It was described by Frölicher and Nijenhuis in [1], who found that any such derivation is the...
متن کاملThe Jacobi Identity beyond Lie Algebras
Frölicher and Nijenhuis recognized well in the middle of the previous century that the Lie bracket and its Jacobi identity could and should exist beyond Lie algebras. Nevertheless, the conceptual status of their discovery has been obscured by the genuinely algebraic techniques they exploited. The principal objective in this paper is to show that the double dualization functor in a Cartesian clo...
