Axiomatic Differential Geometry II-2: Differential Forms
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
