Graphs and topologies on discrete sets
PrCa, P., Graphs and topologies on discrete sets, Discrete Mathematics 103 (1992) 189-197. We show that a graph admits a topology on its node set which is compatible with the usual connectivity of undirected graphs if, and only if, it is a comparability graph. Then, we give a similar condition for the weak connectivity of oriented graphs and show there is no topology which is compatible with th...
متن کاملDiscrete Noncommutative Gauge Theory
A review of the relationships between matrix models and noncommutative gauge theory is presented. A lattice version of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is constructed and used to examine some generic properties of noncommutative quantum field theory, such as UV/IR mixing and the appearence of gauge-invariant open Wilson line operators. Morita equivalence in this class of models is derived and u...
متن کاملDifferential Calculus on Cayley Graphs
We conservatively extend classical elementary differential calculus to the Cartesian closed category of convergence spaces. By specializing results about the convergence space representation of directed graphs, we use Cayley graphs to obtain a differential calculus on groups, from which we then extract a Boolean differential calculus, in which both linearity and the product rule, also called th...
متن کاملGauge Theory Gravity with Geometric Calculus
A new gauge theory of gravity on flat spacetime has recently been developed by Lasenby, Doran, and Gull. Einstein’s principles of equivalence and general relativity are replaced by gauge principles asserting, respectively, local rotation and global displacement gauge invariance. A new unitary formulation of Einstein’s tensor illuminates long-standing problems with energy-momentum conservation i...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Theory with Discrete Exterior Calculus
A self-contained electromagnetic theory is developed on a simplicial lattice. Instead of dealing with vectorial field, discrete exterior calculus (DEC) studies the discrete differential forms of electric and magnetic fields, and circumcenter dual is adopted to achieve diagonal Hodge star operators. In this paper, Gauss’ theorem and Stokes’ theorem are shown to be satisfied inherently within DEC...
