# Manifolds with negative dimension – Definition, References

Does the concept of differential manifold with negative dimension make sense, in differential geometry?
If yes, how is it defined? Do you have any reference to recommend?

My problem was born in Einstein warped-product manifolds, i.e. to admit a type of metric, the fiber-manifold must have a negative dimension, but I do not know if that manifold makes sense in differential geometry, General Relativity or String Theory…

Thank you for any help

• Do you know about $K$-theory? This makes sense of negative dimensional vector bundles. Another way of thinking about negative dimensional spaces is through the language of spectra. But I don't know how geometric you would consider that. Sep 19 '18 at 10:17
• @Thomas Rot - Thank you! No, unfortunately I do not know the K-theory.. Could you tell me how these vector bundles are defined? Do you have some references? Sep 19 '18 at 10:26

• Look up "supermanifolds" and in particular an old review by Leites and the articles in the QFT for mathematicians book edited by Deligne et al. Sep 19 '18 at 18:45
