Differential forms, Weitzenböck formulae and foliations.

Hansklaus Rummler (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The Weitzenböck formulae express the Laplacian of a differential form on an oriented Riemannian manifold in local coordinates, using the covariant derivatives of the form and the coefficients of the curvature tensor. In the first part, we shall describe a certain "differential algebra formalism" which seems to be a more natural frame for those formulae than the usual calculations in local coordinates.In this formalism there appear some interesting differential operators which may also be used to...

Differential geometrical relations for a class of formal series

Alexandr Baranovitch (1997)

Banach Center Publications

An extension of the category of local manifolds is considered. Instead of smooth mappings of neighbourhoods of linear spaces as morphisms we deal with formal operator power series (or formal maps). Analogues of the objects appearing on smooth manifolds and vector bundles (vector fields, sections of a bundle, exterior forms, the de Rham complex, connection, etc.) are considered in this way. All the examinations are carried out in algebraic language, for we do not care about the convergence of formal...

Differential geometry of Cartan domains of type four

Chiara De Fabritiis (1990)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this note we compute the sectional curvature for the Bergman metric of the Cartan domain of type IV and we give a classification of complex totally geodesic manifolds for this metric.

Differential geometry of grassmannians and the Plücker map

Sasha Anan’in, Carlos Grossi (2012)

Open Mathematics

Using the Plücker map between grassmannians, we study basic aspects of classic grassmannian geometries. For ‘hyperbolic’ grassmannian geometries, we prove some facts (for instance, that the Plücker map is a minimal isometric embedding) that were previously known in the ‘elliptic’ case.

Differential geometry over the structure sheaf: a way to quantum physics

Fischer, Gerald (1998)

Proceedings of the 17th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

An idea for quantization by means of geometric observables is explained, which is a kind of the sheaf theoretical methods. First the formulation of differential geometry by using the structure sheaf is explained. The point of view to get interesting noncommutative observable algebras of geometric fields is introduced. The idea is to deform the algebra C ( M , ) by suitable interaction structures. As an example of such structures the Poisson-structure is mentioned and this leads naturally to deformation...
