The torsion of spinor connections and related structures.
We prove the Paley-Wiener theorem for the Helgason Fourier transform of smooth compactly supported 𝔳-radial functions on a Damek-Ricci space S = NA.
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]Differential spaces, whose theory was initiated by R. Sikorski in the sixties, provide an abstract setting for differential geometry. In this paper the author studies the wedge sum of such spaces and deduces some basic results concerning this construction.
This paper belongs to a series of papers devoted to the study of the cohomology of classifying spaces. Generalizing the Weil algebra of a Lie algebra and Kalkman’s BRST model, here we introduce the Weil algebra associated to any Lie algebroid . We then show that this Weil algebra is related to the Bott-Shulman complex (computing the cohomology of the classifying space) via a Van Est map and we prove a Van Est isomorphism theorem. As application, we generalize and find a simpler more conceptual...
