Banach Lie AlgebroidsFirst, we extend the notion of second order differential equations (SODE) on a smooth manifold to anchored Banach vector bundles. Then we define the Banach Lie algebroids as Lie algebroids structures modeled on anchored Banach vector bundles and prove that they form a category.

AbstractNoncommutative geometries generalize standard smooth geometries, parametrizing the noncommutativity of dimensions with a fundamental quantity with the dimensions of area. The question arises then of whether the concept of a region smaller than the scale—and ultimately the concept of a point—makes sense in such a theory. We argue that it does not, in two interrelated ways. In the context of Connes’ spectral triple approach, we show that arbitrarily small regions are not definable in the formal sense. While in the scalar field Moyal–Weyl approach, we show that they cannot be given an operational definition. We conclude that points do not exist in such geometries. We therefore investigate (a) the metaphysics of such a geometry, and (b) how the appearance of smooth manifold might be recovered as an approximation to a fundamental noncommutative geometry.

Let(M,g)be a smooth manifoldMendowed with a metricg. A large class of differential operators in differential geometry is intrinsically defined by means of the dual metricg∗on the dual bundleTM∗of 1-forms onM. If the metricgis (semi)-Riemannian, the metricg∗is just the inverse ofg. This paper studies the definition of the above-mentioned geometric differential operators in the case of manifolds endowed with degenerate metrics for whichg∗is not defined. We apply the theoretical results to Laplacian-type operator on a lightlike hypersurface to deduce a Takahashi-like theorem (Takahashi (1966)) for lightlike hypersurfaces in Lorentzian spaceℝ1n+2.

For a real Hilbert space(H,〈,〉), a subspaceL⊂H⊕His said to be a Dirac structure onHif it is maximally isotropic with respect to the pairing〈(x,y),(x′,y′)〉+=(1/2)(〈x,y′〉+〈x′,y〉). By investigating some basic properties of these structures, it is shown that Dirac structures onHare in one-to-one correspondence with isometries onH, and, any two Dirac structures are isometric. It is, also, proved that any Dirac structure on a smooth manifold in the sense of [1] yields a Dirac structure on some Hilbert space. The graph of any densely defined skew symmetric linear operator on a Hilbert space is, also, shown to be a Dirac structure. For a Dirac structureLonH, everyz∈His uniquely decomposed asz=p1(l)+p2(l)for somel∈L, wherep1andp2are projections. Whenp1(L)is closed, for any Hilbert subspaceW⊂H, an induced Dirac structure onWis introduced. The latter concept has also been generalized.
