Generalized functions valued in a smooth manifold
Based on Colombeau’s theory of algebras of generalized functions we introduce the concepts of generalized functions taking values in differentiable manifolds as well as of generalized vector bundle homomorphisms. We study their basic properties, in particular with respect to some new point value concepts for generalized functions and indicate applications of the resulting theory in general rela...
متن کاملIntrinsic characterization of manifold-valued generalized functions
The concept of generalized functions taking values in a differentiable manifold ([15, 19]) is extended to a functorial theory. We establish several characterization results which allow a global intrinsic formulation both of the theory of manifold-valued generalized functions and of generalized vector bundle homomorphisms. As a consequence, a characterization of equivalence that does not resort ...
متن کاملSheaves of nonlinear generalized functions and manifold-valued distributions
This paper is part of an ongoing program to develop a theory of generalized differential geometry. We consider the space G[X, Y ] of Colombeau generalized functions defined on a manifold X and taking values in a manifold Y . This space is essential in order to study concepts such as flows of generalized vector fields or geodesics of generalized metrics. We introduce an embedding of the space of...
متن کاملGROUPOID ASSOCIATED TO A SMOOTH MANIFOLD
In this paper, we introduce the structure of a groupoid associated to a vector field on a smooth manifold. We show that in the case of the $1$-dimensional manifolds, our groupoid has a smooth structure such that makes it into a Lie groupoid. Using this approach, we associated to every vector field an equivalence relation on the Lie algebra of all vector fields on the smooth...
متن کاملManifold Approximation of Set-valued Functions
Sequences are denoted by x — although C functions are involved in the sequel, their derivative are not explicitly used so this notation for sequences will not interfere with the usual one for derivatives. A function f : R −→ P(R) is a subset of R. Notations and theorems related to manifolds are taken from Hirsch[1]. Points belonging to manifolds will be denoted with tildes. The closed n-dimensi...
