Volume form as volume of infinitesimal simplices
نویسنده
چکیده
In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we describe the square volume of a “second-infinitesimal simplex”, in terms of square-distance between its vertices. The square-volume function thus described is symmetric in the vertices. The square-volume gives rise to a characterization of the volume form in the top dimension.

The Newton Polytope
This describes the map χ in the exact sequence. The map L in the sequence gives us a matrix such that ImL = kerχ. This matrix will generate a integer lattice Λ ⊆ Zm−n. Such an exact sequence gives rise to many different interpretations. The most familiar interpretation is that of a polytope in R which introduces geometry to the system. We can also view the exact sequence as defining a system of...
متن کاملHyperbolic Coxeter N-polytopes with N + 2 Facets
In this paper, we classify all the hyperbolic non-compact Coxeter polytopes of finite volume combinatorial type of which is either a pyramid over a product of two simplices or a product of two simplices of dimension greater than one. Combined with results of Kaplinskaja [5] and Esselmann [3] this completes the classification of hyperbolic Coxeter n-polytopes of finite volume with n + 2 facets.
متن کاملThe Dissection of Five-dimensional Simplices into Orthoschemes
In this paper the dissection of ve-dimensional simplices into or-thoschemes is shown. Firstly, some general methods for dissecting n-dimensional Euclidean simplices are described. For this, a description of simplices by graphs is given. All methods for cutting a simplex are investgated with the help of these graphs. The dissection of the ve-dimensional Euclidean simplices is thoroughly investig...
متن کاملLattice Delone simplices with super-exponential volume
In this short note we give a construction of an infinite series of Delone simplices whose relative volume grows super-exponentially with their dimension. This dramatically improves the previous best lower bound, which was linear. BACKGROUND Consider the Euclidean space Rd with norm ‖ · ‖ and a discrete subset Λ ⊂ Rd. A d-dimensional polytope L = conv{v0, . . . ,vn} with v0, . . . ,vn ∈ Λ is cal...
