We present a theory and applications of discrete exterior calculus on simplicial complexes of arbitrary finite dimension. This can be thought of as calculus on a discrete space. Our theory includes not only discrete differential forms but also discrete vector fields and the operators acting on these objects. This allows us to address the various interactions between forms and vector fields (suc...

We study the wave equation in exterior of a bounded domain K with dissipative boundary condition $$\partial _{\nu } u - \gamma (x) \partial _t = 0$$ on $$\Gamma $$ and $$\gamma > 0.$$ The solutions are described by contraction semi-group $$V(t) e^{tG}, \, t \ge eigenvalues $$\lambda _k$$ G $$\text{ Re }\,\lambda _k < yield asymptotically disappearing $$u(t, x) e^{\lambda t} f(x)$$ having expone...

Suppose E/F is a quadratic extension of number fields and GU(2, 2) is the quasi-split unitary similitude group attached to E/F . We prove functoriality from globally generic cuspidal representations of GU(2, 2)(AF ) to automorphic representations of GL6(AF ) corresponding to the twisted exterior square map on the dual side. For a split quadratic algebra E/F , the twisted exterior square map red...

We establish several combinatorial bounds on the complexity (number of vertices and edges) of the complement of the union (also known as the common exterior) of k convex polygons in the plane, with a total of n edges. We show: 1. The maximum complexity of the entire common exterior is (nn(k) + k 2). 1 2. The maximum complexity of a single cell of the common exterior is (nn(k)). 3. The complexit...

The n-instanton contribution to the Seiberg-Witten prepotential of N = 2 supersymmetric d = 4 Yang Mills theory is represented as the integral of the exponential of an equivariantly exact form. Integrating out an overall scale and a U(1) angle the integral is rewritten as (4n − 3) fold product of a closed two form. This two form is, formally, a representative of the Euler class of the Instanton...

It is shown how the deformation of the superconformal generators on the string’s worldsheet by a nonabelian super-Wilson line gives rise to a covariant exterior derivative on loop space coming from a nonabelian 2-form on target space. The expression obtained this way is new in the context of strings (but has been considered before in the context of integrable systems), and its consistency is ve...

Gauge fields are described on an Riemann-Cartan space-time by means of tensorvalued differential forms and exterior calculus. It is shown that minimal coupling procedure leads to a gauge invariant theory where gauge fields interact with torsion, and that consistency conditions for the gauge fields impose restrictions in the nonRiemannian structure of space-time. The new results differ from the ...

We prove a formula for the multiplicity of the irreducible representation V (n) of sl(2, C) as a direct summand of its own exterior cube ΛV (n). From this we determine that V (n) occurs exactly once as a summand of ΛV (n) if and only if n = 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. These representations admit a unique sl(2)-invariant alternating ternary structure obtained from the projection ΛV (n) → V (n). We calcul...

The georeference of any photogrammetric product is based on the reconstruction of the geometric relations of imaging in a chosen object coordinate system. For the handling of aerial photos traditionally the bundle of rays from the image points over the projection center to the ground points is modelled by means of the camera calibration information and the exterior orientation determined by mea...

We will denote by 〈γ1, ..., γk〉 the differential ideal generated by γ1, ..., γk, i.e. the set of elements of Ω∗(M) of the form α ∧ γ1 + ...+ α ∧ γk + β ∧ dγ1 + ...+ β ∧ dγk, for some α, ..., α, β, ..., β ∈ Ω∗(M). We also denote by 〈γ1, ..., γk〉alg the “algebraic” ideal (not necessarily closed under d) consisting of elements of the form α ∧ γ1 + ...+ α ∧ γk. The basic problem of EDS is to find i...
