The L-Calculus for Causal Variational Principles: An Exterior Differential Calculus on Non-Smooth Spaces
Felix Finster, Niky Kamran, Frank van der Top
Abstract
A differential calculus for causal variational principles is developed, which generalizes the exterior calculus of differential forms and some of the associated differential topological structures to non-smooth spaces. Our calculus includes the exterior derivative, de Rham cohomology, glueing constructions (restrictions and extensions of differential forms, Mayer-Vietoris sequence), a Künneth formula and Poincaré's lemma. Moreover, we prove versions of Stokes' theorem and the Gauß divergence theorem. The constructions and results are illustrated by several examples.
