Resumo:
The challenge of studying shapes has led mathematicians to create powerful abstract concepts, in particular through Differential Geometry. However, differential tools do not apply to simple shapes like cubes. This work is an attempt to use modern advances of the Analysis, namely Distribution Theory, to extend differential quantities to singular objects. Distributions generalize functions, while allowing infinite differentiation. The substitution of classical immersions, which usually serve as submanifold parameterizations, by distributions might thus naturally generalize smooth immersion. This leads to the concept of D-immersion. This work proves that this formulation actually generalizes smooth immersions. Extensions to non-smooth of immersions are discussed through examples and specific cases.
