We set up a framework of 2-Hilbert bundles, which allows to rigorously define the "stringor bundle", a higher differential geometric object anticipated by Stolz and Teichner in an unpublished preprint about 20 years ago. Our framework…
An introduction to the theory of bundle gerbes and their relationship to Hitchin-Chatterjee gerbes is presented. Topics covered are connective structures, triviality and stable isomorphism as well as examples and applications.
Given any topological group $G$, the topological classification of principal $G$-bundles over a finite CW-complex $X$ is long-known to be given by the set of free homotopy classes of maps from $X$ to the corresponding classifying space…
Murray, Roberts and Wockel showed that there is no strict model of the string 2-group using the free loop group. Instead, they construct the next best thing, a coherent model for the string 2-group using the free loop group, with explicit…
Prolongations of a group extension can be studied in a more general situation that we call group extensions of the co-type of a crossed module. Cohomology classification of such extensions is obtained by applying the obstruction theory of…
We explain how to define an embedding of a tame stack over a noetherian ring into a certain generalization of a weighted projective stack using a notion of ample vector bundle on the stack. As applications we construct algebraic moduli…
Let G be a Lie goup, let M and N be smooth connected G-manifolds, let f be a smooth G-map from M to N, and let P denote the fiber of f. Given a closed and equivariantly closed relative 2-form for f with integral periods, we construct the…
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a Lie groupoid. The category $B\mathcal{G}$ of principal $\mathcal{G}$-bundles defines a differentiable stack. On the other hand, given a differentiable stack $\mathcal{D}$, there exists a Lie groupoid $\mathcal{H}$…
We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of the concept of a vector bundle and whose standard examples are higher tangent bundles T^nQ playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms.…
This is the second in a series of papers discussing in the framework of gerbe theory canonical and geometric aspects of the 2d nonlinear sigma model in the presence of conformal defects in the worldsheet. Employing the formal tools worked…
The Bagger-Witten line bundle is a line bundle over moduli spaces of two-dimensional SCFTs, related to the Hodge line bundle of holomorphic top-forms on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It has recently been a subject of a number of conjectures, but…
We study infinite string modules that are bricks over some gentle algebras. In particular, we first give a complete classification of these modules over the double-Kronecker gentle algebra and prove that each family is in bijection with a…
We study Lie bialgebroid crossed modules which are pairs of Lie algebroid crossed modules in duality that canonically give rise to Lie bialgebroids. A one-one correspondence between such Lie bialgebroid crossed modules and co-quadratic…
The classification problem for principal fibre bundles over two-dimensional CW-complexes is considered. Using the Postnikov factorization for the base space of a universal bundle a Puppe sequence that gives an implicit solution for the…
In this paper, we give new characterizations of monopole bundle systems of complex hypermanifolds in $n$-dimensional spaces for certain classes of operators. In particular, we consider the reproducing kernels for decomposable polynomials of…
We discuss various lifting and reduction problems for bundles and gerbes in the context of a strict Lie 2-group. We obtain a geometrical formulation (and a new proof) for the exactness of Breen's long exact sequence in non-abelian…
We define a type of biquandle which is a generalization of symplectic quandles. We use the extra structure of these bilinear biquandles to define new knot and link invariants and give some examples.
This paper explores the properties of multiplicative Lie algebra structures on a nilpotent group of class $2$. We also present a method for determining a multiplicative Lie algebra structure on a group that serves as an extension of one Lie…
Let p be a prime number. We give the explicit structure of 2- nilpotent multiplier for each finite 2-generator p-group of class two. Moreover, 2-capable groups in that class are characterized.
We introduce and analyse a new type of quantum 2-spheres. Then we apply index theory for noncommutative line bundles over these spheres to conclude that quantum lens spaces are non-crossed-product examples of principal extensions of…
