Generalized functions valued in a smooth manifold
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on Colombeau’s theory of algebras of generalized functions we introduce the concepts of generalized functions taking values in differentiable manifolds as well as of generalized vector bundle homomorphisms. We study their basic properties, in particular with respect to some new point value concepts for generalized functions and indicate applications of the resulting theory in general relativity.

Tensor Valued Colombeau Functions on Manifolds ∗
Extending the construction of the algebra Ĝ(M) of scalar valued Colombeau functions on a smooth manifold M (cf. [4]), we present a suitable basic space for eventually obtaining tensor valued generalized functions on M , via the usual quotient construction. This basic space canonically contains the tensor valued distributions and permits a natural extension of the classical Lie derivative. Its m...
متن کاملGeneralized Ritt type and generalized Ritt weak type connected growth properties of entire functions represented by vector valued Dirichlet series
In this paper, we introduce the idea of generalized Ritt type and generalised Ritt weak type of entire functions represented by a vector valued Dirichlet series. Hence, we study some growth properties of two entire functions represented by a vector valued Dirichlet series on the basis of generalized Ritt type and generalised Ritt weak type.
متن کاملIntrinsic characterization of manifold-valued generalized functions
The concept of generalized functions taking values in a differentiable manifold ([15, 19]) is extended to a functorial theory. We establish several characterization results which allow a global intrinsic formulation both of the theory of manifold-valued generalized functions and of generalized vector bundle homomorphisms. As a consequence, a characterization of equivalence that does not resort ...

متن کاملSmooth Functions and Smooth Maps
The main reason for introducing smooth structures was to enable us to define smooth functions on manifolds and smooth maps between manifolds. In this chapter we carry out that project. We begin by defining smooth real-valued and vector-valued functions, and then generalize this to smooth maps between manifolds. We then focus our attention for a while on the special case of diffeomorphisms, whic...
