Non-Euclidean geometry and differential equations

A. Popov (1996)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper a geometrical link between partial differential equations (PDE) and special coordinate nets on two-dimensional smooth manifolds with the a priori given curvature is suggested. The notion of G-class (the Gauss class) of differential equations admitting such an interpretation is introduced. The perspective of this approach is the possibility of applying the instruments and methods of non-Euclidean geometry to the investigation of differential equations. The equations generated by the...

Non-existence of some canonical constructions on connections

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For a vector bundle functor H : f 𝒱 with the point property we prove that H is product preserving if and only if for any m and n there is an m , n -natural operator D transforming connections Γ on ( m , n ) -dimensional fibered manifolds p : Y M into connections D ( Γ ) on H p : H Y H M . For a bundle functor E : m , n with some weak conditions we prove non-existence of m , n -natural operators D transforming connections Γ on ( m , n ) -dimensional fibered manifolds Y M into connections D ( Γ ) on E Y M .
