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
Differential Geometry of Microlinear Frolicher Spaces IV-1
The fourth paper of our series of papers entitled "Differential Geometry of
Microlinear Frolicher Spaces is concerned with jet bundles. We present three
distinct approaches together with transmogrifications of the first into the
second and of the second to the third. The affine bundle theorem and the
equivalence of the three approaches with coordinates are relegated to a
subsequent paper
Differential Geometry of Microlinear Frolicher Spaces II
In this paper, as the second in our series of papers on differential geometry
of microlinear Frolicher spaces, we study differenital forms. The principal
result is that the exterior differentiation is uniquely determined
geometrically, just as grad (ient), div (ergence) and rot (ation) are uniquely
determined geometrically or physically in classical vector calculus. This
infinitesimal characterization of exterior differentiation has been completely
missing in orthodox differential geometry
Axiomatic differential geometry I-1 - towards model cathegories of differential geometry
In this paper we give an axiomatization of di erential geometry comparable to model categories for homotopy theory. Weil functors play a predominant role
