Of the structure of the Euler mapping
This work presents a setting for the formulation of the mechanics of growing bodies. By the mechanics of growing bodies we mean a theory in which the material structure of the body does not remain fixed. Material points may be added or removed from the body.
Albeverio, Kondratiev, and Röckner have introduced a type of differential geometry, which we call lifted geometry, for the configuration space of any manifold . The name comes from the fact that various elements of the geometry of are constructed via lifting of the corresponding elements of the geometry of . In this note, we construct a general algebraic framework for lifted geometry which can be applied to various “infinite dimensional spaces” associated to . In order to define a lifted...
