Resumen de Infinitesimal affine geometry of metric spaces endowed with a dilation structure

Marius Buliga

• We study algebraic and geometric properties of metric spaces endowed with dilatation structures, which are emergent during the passage through smaller and smaller scales. In the limit we obtain a generalization of metric affine geometry, endowed with a noncommutative vector addition operation and with a modified version of ratio of three collinear points. This is the geometry of normed affine group spaces, a category which contains the ones of homogeneous groups, Carnot groups or contractible groups. In this category group operations are not fundamental, but derived objects, and the generalization of affine geometry is not based on incidence relations.
