The general caloron correspondence

Differential Geometry 2015-05-28 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We outline in detail the general caloron correspondence for the group of automorphisms of an arbitrary principal GG-bundle QQ over a manifold XX, including the case of the gauge group of QQ. These results are used to define characteristic classes of gauge group bundles. Explicit but complicated differential form representatives are computed in terms of a connection and Higgs field.
