We define the equivariant holonomy of an invariant connection on a principal U(1)-bundle. The properties of the ordinary holonomy are generalized to the equivariant setting. In particular, equivariant U(1)-bundles with connection are shown…
For an ample line bundle $L$ on an Abelian variety $M$, we study the theta functions associated with the family of line bundles $L\otimes T$ on $M$ indexed by $T\in \text{Pic}^{0}(M)$. Combined with an appropriate differential geometric…
Recently twisted K-theory has received much attention due to its applications in string theory and the announced result by Freed, Hopkins and Telemann relating the twisted equivariant K-theory of a compact Lie group to its Verlinde algebra.…
We show how the amplitude of holonomies on a vector bundle can be controlled by the integral of the curvature of the connection on a surface enclosed by the curve.
The average energy curvature as a function of the particle number is a molecule-specific quantity, which measures the deviation of a given functional from the exact conditions of density functional theory (DFT). Related to the lack of…
Type families on higher inductive types such as pushouts can capture homotopical properties of differential geometric constructions including connections, curvature, and vector fields. We define a class of pushouts based on simplicial…
We introduce an axiomatic framework for the parallel transport of connections on gerbes. It incorporates parallel transport along curves and along surfaces, and is formulated in terms of gluing axioms and smoothness conditions. The…
A gauge invariant notion of a strong connection is presented and characterized. It is then used to justify the way in which a global curvature form is defined. Strong connections are interpreted as those that are induced from the base space…
Given a foliation, there is a well-known notion of holonomy, which can be understood as an action that differentiates to the Bott connection on the normal bundle. We present an analogous notion for Lie subalgebroids, consisting of an…
Contextuality can be understood as the impossibility to construct a globally consistent description of a model even if there is local agreement. In particular, quantum models present this property. We can describe contextuality with the…
Statistical manifolds, the parameter spaces of smooth families of probability density functions, are the central objects of study in information geometry. While the elementary differential geometry of Riemannian statistical manifolds is…
Let G be a Lie group. On the trivial principal G-bundle over the Lie algebra of G there is a natural connection whose curvature is the Lie bracket. The exponential map is given by parallel transport of this connection. If G is the…
For a finite dimensional vector space V of dimension n, we consider the incidence correspondence (or partial flag variety) X in P(V) x P(V*), parametrizing pairs consisting of a point and a hyperplane containing it. We completely…
This work presents a family of fiber bundles where the total spaces are associated with holomorphic functions on several complex variables and the basis spaces extend the notion of quaternionic slice regular functions of several…
This paper extends the geometric mechanics theory of constraint systems on principal bundles from the flat connection case to the general situation with non-zero curvature. Based on the theoretical foundation of compatible pairs under…
We consider a locally trivial fiber bundle $\pi : E \to M$ over a compact oriented two-dimensional manifold $M$, and a section $s$ of this bundle defined over $M \setminus \Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a discrete subset of $M$. We call the set…
We introduce the holonomy-diffeomorphism algebra, a C*-algebra generated by flows of vectorfields and the compactly supported smooth functions on a manifold. We show that the separable representations of the holonomy-diffeomorphism algebra…
This text surveys cohomological properties of pairs $(U,f)$ consisting of a smooth complex quasi-projective variety $U$ together with a regular function on~it. On the one hand, one tries to mimic the case of a germ of holomorphic function…
We calculate curvature tensors of metrics on the total spaces of holomorphic fibrations. Our main tool is a theory of Chern connections and curvature forms for possibly degenerate Hermitian forms on holomorphic vector bundles. We prove a…
The present paper is the first in a series of papers, in which we shall construct modular functors and Topological Quantum Field Theories from the conformal field theory developed in [TUY]. The basic idea is that the covariant constant…
