Differential Forms in Geometric Calculus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geometric calculus and the calculus of differential forms have common origins in Grassmann algebra but different lines of historical development, so mathematicians have been slow to recognize that they belong together in a single mathematical system. This paper reviews the rationale for embedding differential forms in the more comprehensive system of Geometric Calculus. The most significant application of the system is to relativistic physics where it is referred to as Spacetime Calculus. The fundamental integral theorems are discussed along with applications to physics, especially electrodynamics.

متن کاملDifferential Forms on Wasserstein Space and Infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian Systems
Let M denote the space of probability measures on R endowed with the Wasserstein metric. A differential calculus for a certain class of absolutely continuous curves in M was introduced in [4]. In this paper we develop a calculus for the corresponding class of differential forms on M. In particular we prove an analogue of Green’s theorem for 1-forms and show that the corresponding first cohomolo...
متن کاملAn analytic study on the Euler-Lagrange equation arising in calculus of variations
The Euler-Lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. This paper employs the differential transformation method (DTM) for finding the solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. DTM provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. S...
متن کاملHOLA: a High-Order Lie Advection of Discrete Differential Forms
The Lie derivative, and Exterior Calculus in general, is ubiquitous in the elegant geometric interpretation of many dynamical systems. We extend recent trends towards a Discrete Exterior Calculus by introducing a discrete framework for the Lie derivative defined on differential forms, including a WENO based numerical scheme for its implementation. The usefulness of this operator is demonstrated...
