In our previous paper entitled "Axiomatic differential geometry -towards model categories of differential geometry-, we have given a category-theoretic framework of differential geometry. As the first part of our series of papers concerned with differential-geometric developments within the above axiomatic scheme, this…

New framework for RR fields using twisted differential K-theory.

We formulate differential cohomology and Chern-Weil theory -- the theory of connections on fiber bundles and of gauge fields -- abstractly in the context of a certain class of higher toposes that we call "cohesive". Cocycles in this differential cohomology classify higher principal bundles equipped with cohesive struct…

A new field of discrete differential geometry is presently emerging on the border between differential and discrete geometry. Whereas classical differential geometry investigates smooth geometric shapes (such as surfaces), and discrete geometry studies geometric shapes with finite number of elements (such as polyhedra)…

Einstein's philosophy uses differential identities to derive GR field equations.

This paper establishes three relations between the Toda field theory associated to a simple Lie algebra and the integral curves of the standard differential system on the corresponding complete flag variety. The motivation comes from the viewpoint on the Toda field theories as Darboux integrable differential systems as…

Study geodesics on algebraic varieties over differential fields.

Given a triangulated region in the complex plane, a discrete vector field $Y$ assigns a vector $Y_i\in \mathbb{C}$ to every vertex. We call such a vector field holomorphic if it defines an infinitesimal deformation of the triangulation that preserves length cross ratios. We show that each holomorphic vector field can b…

We propose definitions of homogeneity and projective equivalence for systems of ordinary differential equations of order greater than two, which allow us to generalize the concept of a spray (for systems of order two). We show that the Euler-Lagrange fields of parametric Lagrangians of order greater than one which are …

A new cohomology, induced by a vector field, is defined on pairs of differential forms ($1$--differentiable forms) in a manifold. It is proved a link with the classical de Rham cohomology and an $1$-differentable cohomology of Lichnerowicz type associated to an one form. Also, the case when the manifold is complex and …

We present an axiomatic approach to finite- and infinite-dimensional differential calculus over arbitrary infinite fields (and, more generally, suitable rings). The corresponding basic theory of manifolds and Lie groups is developed. Special attention is paid to the case of mappings between topological vector spaces ov…

The higher gauge field in 11-dimensional supergravity -- the C-field -- is constrained by quantum effects to be a cocycle in some twisted version of differential cohomology. We argue that it should indeed be a cocycle in a certain twisted nonabelian differential cohomology. We give a simple and natural characterization…

This paper introduces the notions of vector field and flow on a general differentiable stack. Our main theorem states that the flow of a vector field on a compact proper differentiable stack exists and is unique up to a uniquely determined 2-cell. This extends the usual result on the existence and uniqueness of flows o…

Building on the Utiyama principle we formulate an approach to Lagrangian field theory in which exterior covariant differentials of vector-valued forms replace partial derivatives, in the sense that they take up the role played by the latter in the usual jet bundle formulation. Actually a natural Lagrangian can be writt…

In the first and second case the investigation is reduced to the analysis of the nonidentical …

A parametric manifold is a manifold on which all tensor fields depend on an additional parameter, such as time, together with a parametric structure, namely a given (parametric) 1-form field. Such a manifold admits natural generalizations of Lie differentiation, exterior differentiation, and covariant differentiation, …
