This paper proves equivalence between derived manifolds and differential graded manifolds.
Quantization of (-1)-shifted derived Poisson manifolds via BV-infinity operators.
We approximate derivatives of functions on manifolds by embedding them and applying vector-valued operators.
Study of Schwarzian derivative on Finsler manifolds with constant curvature.
We establish variational formulas for Ricci upper and lower bounds, as well as a derivative formula for the Ricci curvature. As applications, constant curvature manifolds, Einstein manifolds and Ricci parallel manifolds are identified, respectively, with different integral-differential formulas and semigroup inequaliti…
Continues work on derived manifolds and symplectic schemes, constructing virtual classes.
Study virtual fundamental classes of derived manifolds, proving invariant vanishes.
In this short note we present local derivative estimates for heat equations on Riemannian manifolds following the line of W.-X. Shi. As an application we generalize a second derivative estimate of R. Hamilton for heat equations on compact manifolds to noncompact case.
Sharp bounds on heat kernel derivatives on incomplete manifolds.
In this short note, we propose an unified method to derive formulas for derivations conjugated by exponential functions on an almost complex manifold. In v3, we corrected some mistakes in previous versions.
The Schwarzian derivative is generalized to Finsler manifolds and its properties studied.
Let be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. We propose a new approach for defining the conformal Schwarzian derivatives. These derivatives are 1-cocycles on the group of diffeomorphisms of related to the modules of linear differential operators. As operators, these derivatives do not depend on the rescaling of the…
Survey on smooth function and form density in Riemannian Sobolev spaces.
Formula derived for curvature on smooth manifolds.
Derives formulas from Green function Hessian assumption.
Derived differential manifolds are constructed using the usual homotopy theory of simplicial rings of smooth functions. They are proved to be equivalent to derived differential manifolds of finite type, constructed using homotopy sheaves of homotopy rings (D.Spivak), thus preserving the classical cobordism ring. This r…

Derives key CCM manifold equations for optimization.
Paper computes Atiyah class for DG manifolds of amplitude +1.
We derive expressions for the Ricci curvature tensor and scalar in terms of intrinsic torsion classes of half-flat manifolds by exploiting the relationship between half-flat manifolds and non-compact holonomy manifolds. Our expressions are tested for Iwasawa and more general nilpotent manifolds. We also derive ex…
A model structure is defined on the category of derived differentiable schemes, and it is used to analyse the truncation 2-functor from derived manifolds to d-manifolds. It is proved that the induced 1-functor between the homotopy categories is full and essentially surjective, giving a bijection between the sets of equ…
Regulated curves on Banach manifolds with continuous projections and regulated derivatives are studied.
After summarizing some necessary preliminaries and tools, including Berwald derivative and Lie derivative in pull-back formalism, we present ten equivalent conditions, each of which characterizes Berwald manifolds among Finsler manifolds. These range from Berwald's classical definition to the existence of a torsion-fre…

The paper derives inequalities on Finsler manifolds, influenced by their curvatures.
Generalizes neural network approximation to infinite-dimensional manifolds and derivatives.
We derive a new renormalized volume formula for conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds in dimension four. The formula generalizes the ones given by Anderson, Albin, and Chang-Qing-Yang for the case of Poincare-Einstein manifolds. We also derive variational formulas for the renormalized seen as a functi…

The paper shows objective derivatives are covariant derivatives on Riemannian metrics.
Derives integral formulae on weighted manifolds.
Study moduli spaces of elliptic PDEs using derived -geometry.
We introduce a canonical outer vector field on a Poisson manifold, also due independently to A. Weinstein. We view it as a global section of the sheaf of Poisson vector fields modulo the subsheaf of hamiltonian vector fields. We study this outer derivation mostly in the case of holomorphic Poisson manifolds.
We study dg-manifolds which are R[2]-bundles over R[1]-bundles over manifolds, we calculate its symmetries, its derived symmetries and we introduce the concept of T-dual dg-manifolds. Within this framework we construct the T-duality map as a degree -1 map between the cohomologies of the T-dual dg-manifolds and we show …
Given a geometrically finite hyperbolic cone-manifold, with the cone singularity sufficiently short, we construct a one parameter family of cone-manifolds decreasing the cone angle to zero. We also control the geometry of this one parameter family via the Schwarzian derivative of the projective boundary and the length …
Formula derived for ALH manifolds, showing existence of specific 3D manifolds.
This is a survey of the author's book "D-manifolds and d-orbifolds: a theory of derived differential geometry", available at http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~joyce/dmanifolds.html We introduce a 2-category dMan of "d-manifolds", new geometric objects which are 'derived' smooth manifolds, in the sense of the 'derived algeb…
Motivated by the possible characterization of Sasakian manifolds in terms of twistor forms, we give the complete classification of compact Riemannian manifolds carrying a Killing vector field whose covariant derivative (viewed as a 2-form) is a twistor form.
We develop a family of infinite-dimensional (non-parametric) manifolds of probability measures. The latter are defined on underlying Banach spaces, and have densities of class with respect to appropriate reference measures. The case , in which the manifolds are modelled on Fréchet spaces, is included.…
Study of time-dependent metrics and connections in geometry.
Paper derives estimates for complex Hessian equations on Hermitian manifolds.
On an odd-dimensional oriented hyperbolic manifold of finite volume with strongly acyclic coefficient systems, we derive a formula relating analytic torsion with the Reidemeister torsion of the Borel-Serre compactification of the manifold. In a companion paper, this formula is used to derive exponential growth of torsi…

This is a long summary of the author's book "D-manifolds and d-orbifolds: a theory of derived differential geometry", available at http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~joyce/dmanifolds.html . A shorter survey paper on the book, focussing on d-manifolds without boundary, is arXiv:1206.4207, and readers just wanting a general o…
We present a short-time existence theorem of solutions to the initial value problem for Schroedinger maps of a closed Riemannian manifold to a compact almost Hermitian manifold. The classical energy method cannot work for this problem since the almost complex structure of the target manifold is not supposed to be paral…
We obtain a complete time expansion of the pull-back operator generated by a real analytic flow of real analytic automorphisms acting on analytic tensor sections of a manifold. Our expansion is given in terms of multiple Lie derivatives. Motivated by this expansion, we provide a rather simple and explicit estimate for …
