Diffeomorphisms conformal on distributions

Kamil Niedziałomski (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let f:M → N be a local diffeomorphism between Riemannian manifolds. We define the eigenvalues of f to be the eigenvalues of the self-adjoint, positive definite operator df*df:TM → TM, where df* denotes the operator adjoint to df. We show that if f is conformal on a distribution D, then d i m V λ 2 d i m D - d i m M , where V λ denotes the eigenspace corresponding to the coefficient of conformality λ of f. Moreover, if f has distinct eigenvalues, then there is locally a distribution D such that f is conformal on D if and only...

Differential calculi over quantum groups

G. J. Murphy (2003)

Banach Center Publications

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.

Differential calculus on almost commutative algebras and applications to the quantum hyperplane

Cătălin Ciupală (2005)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we introduce a new class of differential graded algebras named DG ρ -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  ρ -algebra. Then we introduce linear connections on a  ρ -bimodule M over a  ρ -algebra  A and extend these connections to the space of forms from A to M . We apply these notions to the quantum hyperplane.
