Iterated Differential Forms II: Riemannian Geometry Revisited
A natural extension of Riemannian geometry to a much wider context is
presented on the basis of the iterated differential form formalism developed in
math.DG/0605113 and an application to general relativity is given.Comment: 12 pages, extended version of the published note Dokl. Math. 73, n. 2

Special functions from quantum canonical transformations
Quantum canonical transformations are used to derive the integral
representations and Kummer solutions of the confluent hypergeometric and
hypergeometric equations. Integral representations of the solutions of the
non-periodic three body Toda equation are also found. The derivation of these
representations motivate the form of a two-dimensional generalized
hypergeometric equation which contains the non-periodic Toda equation as a
special case and whose solutions may be obtained by quantum canonical
transformation.Comment: LaTeX, 24 pp., Imperial-TP-93-94-5 (revision: two sections added on
the three-body Toda problem and a two-dimensional generalization of the
hypergeometric equation
Algebraic theories of brackets and related (co)homologies
A general theory of the Frolicher-Nijenhuis and Schouten-Nijenhuis brackets
in the category of modules over a commutative algebra is described. Some
related structures and (co)homology invariants are discussed, as well as
applications to geometry.Comment: 14 pages; v2: minor correction
Discretized rotation has infinitely many periodic orbits
For a fixed k in (-2,2), the discretized rotation on Z^2 is defined by
(x,y)->(y,-[x+ky]). We prove that this dynamics has infinitely many periodic
orbits.Comment: Revised after referee reports, and added a quantitative statemen
