Cubical Version of Combinatorial Differential Forms

نویسنده

Anders Kock

چکیده

The theory of combinatorial differential forms is usually presented in simplicial terms. We present here a cubical version; it depends on the possibility of forming affine combinations of mutual neighbour points in a manifold, in the context of synthetic differential geometry.

Infinitesimal cubical structure, and higher connections

The purpose of the present note is to experiment with a possible framework for the theory of “higher connections”, as have recently become expedient in string theory; however, our work was not so much to find a framework which fits any existing such theory, but rather to find notions which come most naturally of their own accord. The approach is based on the combinatorics of the “first neighbou...

Combinatorial Groupoids, Cubical Complexes, and the Lovász Conjecture

A foundation is laid for a theory of combinatorial groupoids, allowing us to use concepts like “holonomy”, “parallel transport”, “bundles”, “combinatorial curvature” etc. in the context of simplicial (polyhedral) complexes, posets, graphs, polytopes and other combinatorial objects. A new, holonomy-type invariant for cubical complexes is introduced, leading to a combinatorial “Theorema Egregium”...

Cubical token systems

The paper deals with combinatorial and stochastic structures of cubical token systems. A cubical token system is an instance of a token system, which in turn is an instance of a transition system. It is shown that some basic results of combinatorial and stochastic parts of media theory hold almost in identical form for cubical token systems, although some underlying concepts are quite different...

Ideas from Zariski topology in the study of cubical sets, cubical maps, and their homology

Cubical sets and their homology have been used in dynamical systems as well as in digital imaging. We take a refreshing view on this topic, following Zariski ideas from algebraic geometry. The cubical topology is defined to be a topology in R in which a set is closed if and only if it is cubical. This concept is a convenient frame for describing a variety of important features of cubical sets. ...
