    We refurbish our axiomatics of differential geometry introduced in [Mathematics for Applications,, 1 (2012), 171-182]. Then the notion of Euclideaness can naturally be formulated. The principal objective in this paper is to present an adaptation of our theory of differential forms developed in [International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 64 (2010), 85-102] to our present axiomatic framework

    Differential Geometry of Microlinear Frolicher Spaces I

    The central object of synthetic differential geometry is microlinear spaces. In our previous paper [Microlinearity in Frolicher spaces -beyond the regnant philosophy of manifolds-, International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 60 (2010), 15-24] we have emancipated microlinearity from within well-adapted models to Frolicher spaces. Therein we have shown that Frolicher spaces which are microlinear as well as Weil exponentiable form a cartesian closed category. To make sure that such Frolicher spaces are the central object of infinite-dimensional differential geometry, we develop the theory of vector fields on them in this paper. The central result is that all vector fields on such a Frolicher space form a Lie algebra

    Arcs, Cords and Felts - Six instances of the Linearization Principle

    It is shown how a selection of prominent results in singularity theory and differential geometry can be deduced from one theorem, the Rank Theorem for maps between spaces of power series.Comment: to be published in "The American Journal of Mathematics
