| Summary: | The mechanism of differential geometric calculus is based on the fundamental notion of a connection on a module over a commutative and unital algebra of scalars
defined together with the associated de Rham complex. In this communication,
we demonstrate that the dynamical mechanism of physical fields can be formulated by purely algebraic means, in terms of the homological Kähler-De Rham differential schema, constructed by connection inducing functors and their associated curvatures, independently of any background substratum. In this context, we show explicitly that the application of this mechanism in General Relativity, instantiating the case of gravitational dynamics, is
related with the absolute representability of the theory in the
field of real numbers, a byproduct of which is the fixed background
manifold construct of this theory. Furthermore, the background independence of the homological differential mechanism is of particular importance for the formulation of dynamics
in quantum theory, where the adherence to a fixed manifold substratum is
problematic due to singularities or other topological defects. |
