Simplicial differential calculus, divided differences, and construction of Weil functors

Abstract.

We define a simplicial differential calculus by generalizing divided differences from the case of curves to the case of general maps, defined on general topological vector spaces, or even on modules over a topological ring . This calculus has the advantage that the number of evaluation points grows linearly with the degree, and not exponentially as in the classical, “cubic” approach. In particular, it is better adapted to the case of positive characteristic, where it permits to define Weil functors corresponding to scalar extension from to truncated polynomial rings .
