چکیده

The main objective for this thesis is the construction of a tensor bundle on a diffeological space X. Thereby getting access to the exterior bundle of antisymmetric tensors on X, and smooth sections here on i.e. differential forms. We shall list certain requirements that any reasonable tensor bundle on a diffeological space should fulfil. And show that the given construction fulfil these requirements. The main idea of the approach taken in this thesis is to associate to each smooth curve α : R → X a map dα : C∞(X) → R defined by dα(f) := d0(f ◦ α) (where d0 denotes differentiation at 0). This leads to reasonable tangent spaces, tangent bundles, tensor bundles and finally differential forms. These differential forms will in a natural way be D-forms. In order to archive the main objective we shall also need to develop some theory concerning diffeological bundles, and vector bundles.

The Fermat Functors

In this paper, we use some basic quasi-topos theory to study two functors: one adding infinitesimals of Fermat reals to diffeological spaces (which generalize smooth manifolds including singular spaces and infinite-dimensional spaces), and the other deleting infinitesimals on Fermat spaces. We study the properties of these functors, and calculate some examples. These serve as fundamentals for d...

Basic Forms and Orbit Spaces: a Diffeological Approach

If a Lie group acts on a manifold freely and properly, pulling back by the quotient map gives an isomorphism between the differential forms on the quotient manifold and the basic differential forms upstairs. We show that this result remains true for actions that are not necessarily free nor proper, as long as the identity component acts properly, where on the quotient space we take differential...

The homotopy theory of diffeological spaces

Diffeological spaces are generalizations of smooth manifolds. In this paper, we study the homotopy theory of diffeological spaces. We begin by proving basic properties of the smooth homotopy groups that we will need later. Then we introduce the smooth singular simplicial set S(X) associated to a diffeological space X, and show that when S(X) is fibrant, it captures smooth homotopical properties...

On a Diffeological Group Realization of Certain Generalized Symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie Algebras

In this paper we utilize the notion of infinite dimensional diffeological Lie groups and diffeological Lie algebras to construct a Lie group structure on the space of smooth paths into a completion of a generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebra associated to a symmetrized generalized Cartan matrix. We then identify a large normal subgroup of this group of paths such that the quotient group has the soug...

Orbifolds as Diffeologies

We consider orbifolds as diffeological spaces. This gives rise to a natural notion of differentiable maps between orbifolds, making them into a subcategory of diffeology. We prove that the diffeological approach to orbifolds is equivalent to Satake’s notion of a V-manifold and to Haefliger’s notion of an orbifold. This follows from a lemma: a diffeomorphism (in the diffeological sense) of finit...
