The division map of principal bundles with groupoid structure and generalized gauge transformations
Abstract
Motivated by the computations done in \cite{C1}, where I introduced and discussed what I called the groupoid of generalized gauge transformations, viewed as a groupoid over the objects of the category of principal -bundles over a given manifold , I develop in this paper the same ideas for the more general case of {\em principal -bundles or principal bundles with structure groupoid }, where now is a Lie groupoid in the sense of \cite{Moer2}. Most of the concepts introduced in \cite{C1} can be translated almost verbatim in the framework of principal bundles with structure groupoid ; in particular, the key r�le for the construction of generalized gauge transformations is again played by (the equivalent in the framework of principal bundles with groupoid structure of) the division map . Of great importance are also the generalized conjugation in a groupoid and the concept of (twisted) equivariant maps between groupoid-spaces.
