Generalized Differential Geometry

Abstract

Generalized Functions play a central role in the understanding of differential equations containing singularities and nonlinearities. Introducing infinitesimals and infinities to deal with these obstructions leads to controversies concerning the existence, rigor and the amount of non-standard analysis needed to understand these theories. Milieus constructed over the generalized reals sidestep them all. A Riemannian manifold M embeds discretely into a generalized manifold $M^*$ on which singularities vanish and products of nonlinearities make sense. Linking this to an already existing global theory provides an algebra embedding $\kappa :\hat{{\cal{G}}}(M)\longrightarrow {\cal{C}}^{\infty}(M^*,\widetilde{\mathbb{R}}_f)$. Generalized Space-Time is constructed and its possible effects on Classical Space-Time are examined
