Higher-order preconnections in synthetic differential geometry of jet bundles.
We summarize here the main ideas and results of our papers [28], [14], as presented at the 2013 CIRM Meeting on Discrete curvature and we augment these by bringing up an application of one of our main results, namely to solving a problem regarding cube complexes.
In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we discuss vector fields/ordinary differential equations as actions; in particular, we exploit function space formation (exponential spaces) in the category of actions.
We clarify in which precise sense the theory of principal bundles and the theory of groupoids are equivalent; and how this equivalence of theories, in the differentiable case, reflects itself in the theory of connections. The method used is that of synthetic differential geometry.
For each integer and each finite graph , we construct a Coxeter group and a non positively curved polygonal complex on which acts properly cocompactly, such that each polygon of has edges, and the link of each vertex of is isomorphic to . If is a “generalized -gon”, then is a Tits building modelled on a reflection group of the hyperbolic plane. We give a condition on for to be non enumerable (which is satisfied if is a thick classical generalized -gon). On the other hand,...
