Generalized group actions in a global setting (Q2497410)

The authors, employing the theory of Colombeau generalized functions taking values in differentiable manifolds and the theory of generalized flows of singular vector fields, study generalized group actions on differentiable manifolds in the Colombeau framework. They derive infinitesimal criteria for symmetry groups of Colombeau generalized algebraic equations, which help them to give a theory of symmetry groups of differential equations in the space of c-bounded generalized functions. Finally, the notion of invariance of Colombeau generalized functions under generalized group actions is analyzed.
