Any leafwise connection on a fibre bundle over a foliated manifold is proved to come from a connection on this fibre bundle.
A generalised notion of connection on a fibre bundle E over a manifold M is presented. These connections are characterised by a smooth distribution on E which projects onto a (not necessarily integrable) distribution on M and which, in…
The problem for consistency between linear transports along paths and real bundle metrics in real vector bundles is stated. Necessary and/or sufficient conditions, as well as conditions for existence, for such consistency are derived. All…
A geometric interpretation of curvature and torsion of linear transports along paths is presented. A number of (Bianchi type) identities satisfied by these quantities are derived. The obtained results contain as special cases the…
Generalized are the investigated in other works of the author transports along paths in fibre bundles to transports along arbitrary maps in them. Their structure and some properties are studied. Special attention is paid to the linear case…
We investigate relative holomorphic connections on a principal bundle over a family of compact complex manifolds. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic principal bundle over…
We study flat vector bundles over complex parallelizable manifolds.
We define functorial isomorphisms of parallel transport along etale paths for a class of vector bundles on a p-adic curve. All bundles of degree zero whose reduction is strongly semistable belong to this class. In particular, they give rise…
We extend our previous theory of etale parallel transport to a larger class of slope zero vector bundles on p-adic curves. The new class is stable under pullback by ramified coverings. We also construct p-adic representations of a central…
We give a proof of the existence of radial (smooth) parallel sections of vector bundles endowed with a linear connection.
In this note, we consider a Lie group G acting on a manifold M. We prove that the category of bundles with connection on the differential quotient stack is equivalent to the category of G-equivariant bundles on M with G-invariant…
This paper presents a brief study on connections on fiber, principal and vector smooth bundles as well as some relations with their curvatures.
We characterize the existence of horizontal path lifts for general connections on arbitrary fiber bundles with a new property that also gives fresh insight into linear and $G$-connections.
It is shown that a strong system of vector fields on a fiber bundle in the sense of [Modugno, M. Systems of connections and invariant lagrangians. In: Differential geometric methods in theoretical physics, Proc. 15th Int. Conf., DGM,…
A new concept called multilevel contours is introduced through this article by the author. Theorems on contours constructed on a bundle of complex planes are stated and proved. Multilevel contours can transport information from one complex…
The theory of frames normal for general connections on differentiable bundles is developed. Links with the existing theory of frames normal for covariant derivative operators (linear connections) in vector bundles are revealed. The…
The displacement and deviation vectors in spaces (manifolds), the tangent bundle of which is endowed with a transport along paths, are introduced. In case these spaces are equipped with a linear connection, the deviation equations (between…
A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…
In this addendum to our article "Superconnections and Parallel Transport" we give an alternate construction to the parallel transport of a superconnection contained in Corollary 4.4 of \cite{D1}, which has the advantage that is independent…
Let $\pi:E\to M$ be a vector bundle over a simply connected manifold and $\nabla$ a linear connection in $\pi$. Let $\sigma: U \rightarrow E$ be a $\nabla$-parallel section of $\pi$ defined on a connected open subset $U$ of $M$. We give…
