Noncommutative geometric gauge theory is reconstructed based on the superconnection concept. The bosonic action of the Connes-Lott model including the symmetry breaking Higgs sector is obtained by using a new generalized derivative, which consists of the usual 1-form exterior derivative plus an extra element called the matrix derivative, for the curvatures. We first derive the matrix derivative...

The non-commutative differential calculus on the quantum groups SL q (N) is constructed. The quantum external algebra proposed contains the same number of generators as in the classical case. The exterior derivative defined in the constructive way obeys the modified version of the Leibnitz rules.

The Laplacian of an undirected graph is a square matrix, whose eigenvalues yield important information. We can regard graphs as one-dimensional simplicial complexes, and as whether there is a generalisation of the Laplacian operator to simplicial complexes. It turns out that there is, and that is useful for calculating real Betti numbers [8]. Duval and Reiner [5] have studied Laplacians of a sp...

1.1. Classical r-matrices. In the early eighties, Belavin and Drinfeld [BD] classified nonskewsymmetric classical r-matrices for simple Lie algebras. It turned out that such r-matrices, up to isomorphism and twisting by elements from the exterior square of the Cartan subalgebra, are classified by combinatorial objects which are now called Belavin-Drinfeld triples. By definition, a Belavin-Drinf...

To establish an alternative analytical framework for the elastic-wave imaging of underground cavities, the focus of this study is an extension of the concept of topological derivative, rooted in elastostatics and shape optimization, to three-dimensional elastodynamics involving semiinfinite and infinite solids. The main result of the proposed boundary integral approach is a formula for topologi...

For a second-order symmetric strongly elliptic differential operator on an exterior domain in Rn it is known from works of Birman and Solomiak that a change of the boundary condition from the Dirichlet condition to an elliptic Neumann or Robin condition leaves the essential spectrum unchanged, in such a way that the spectrum of the difference between the inverses satisfies a Weyl-type asymptoti...

Using a new local smoothing estimate of the first and third authors, we prove local-in-time Strichartz and smoothing estimates without a loss exterior to a large class of polygonal obstacles with arbitrary boundary conditions and global-in-time Strichartz estimates without a loss exterior to a large class of polygonal obstacles with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In addition, we prove a global-...

We use the standard notations: differential forms ap, their exterior algebra A, exterior derivative d<p, Hodge's star operator *, coderivative 3f = (_ 1)nP + n 1*d*(P, Laplace-Beltrami operator A = d3 + Md, exterior product (pAg,, inner product (so,*) = fJmpA*4p, and the Dirichlet norm D(sp) = (dep, dp) + (a<p, 5op). For 0forms u the norm reduces to D(u) = (du, du), and Au has the representation

The Exterior-Interior duality expresses a deep connection between the Laplace spectrum in bounded and connected domains in R, and the scattering matrices in the exterior of the domains. Here, this link is extended to the study of the spectrum of the discrete Laplacian on finite graphs. For this purpose, two methods are devised for associating scattering matrices to the graphs. The Exterior -Int...

This paper surveys and compares some recent approaches to stochastic infinite-dimensional geometry on the space Γ of configurations (i. e. locally finite subsets) of a Riemannian manifold M under Poisson measures. In particular, different approaches to Bochner– Weitzenböck formulas are considered. A unitary transform is also introduced by mapping functions of n configuration points to their mul...
