Non-smooth differential geometry and algebras of generalized functions
arXiv:math/0312487
Abstract
Algebras of generalized functions offer possibilities beyond the purely distributional approach in modelling singular quantities in non-smooth differential geometry. This article presents an introductory survey of recent developments in this field and highlights some applications in mathematical physics.
