Differentiable maps into riemannian manifolds of constant stable osculating rank. II. (Frenet-Theory).
An exposition is given of recent work of the author and others on the differential calculi that occur in the setting of compact quantum groups. The principal topics covered are twisted graded traces, an extension of Connes' cyclic cohomology, invariant linear functionals on covariant calculi and the Hodge, Dirac and Laplace operators in this setting. Some new results extending the classical de Rham theorem and Poincaré duality are also discussed.
In this paper we introduce a new class of differential graded algebras named DG -algebras and present Lie operations on this kind of algebras. We give two examples: the algebra of forms and the algebra of noncommutative differential forms of a -algebra. Then we introduce linear connections on a -bimodule over a -algebra and extend these connections to the space of forms from to . We apply these notions to the quantum hyperplane.
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 by suitable interaction structures. As an example of such structures the Poisson-structure is mentioned and this leads naturally to deformation...
In this paper basic differential invariants of generic hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equations with respect to contact transformations are constructed and the equivalence problem for these equations is solved.
