Waning in principal bundles

Differential Geometry 2015-04-02 v1

Abstract

Let PMP\to M be a principal bundle. Consider a sequence of metrics on PP obtained by re-scaling the fibers to points. The Gromov-Hausdorff limit of the tangent bundles over these principal bundles with their Sasaki metric is seen herein to be a locally trivial fiber bundle containing the tangent space to the base as a subbundle in a natural way. Berger 3-spheres provide an example where the limit fibers are still of dimension 3. The fibers are shown to be entirely determined by the riemannian holonomy of the chosen bi-invariant metric.
