Abstract

Motivated by deformations of spin structures and their geometric implications, we study a deformed exterior derivative, which is a third-order nilpotent operator. This higher-order differential structure induces an anholonomic rescaling of the local frame and leads to a bifurcation of the associated cohomological structure, with two distinct notions of closedness and exactness. We prove that the Poincaré Lemma fails in both sectors, so that closed deformed forms need not be exact even locally. We then apply the resulting framework to a four-dimensional effective field theory and show that a constant saturation of the deformation parameter can generate a hierarchy between the electroweak and fundamental Planck scales through a purely geometric mechanism, without introducing extra spatial dimensions.
