We define formal orbifolds over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic as curves together with some branch data. Their \'etale coverings and their fundamental groups are also defined. These fundamental group approximates…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. We consider principal bundles over a $k$-scheme with reductive structure group (not necessarily of finite type). It is showm in particular that for $k$ algebraically closed there exists on any…

We define an analog in characteristic $p>0$ of the proalgebraic completion of the topological fundamental group of a complex manifold.

Let $X$ be a connected, smooth, and projective curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$. This paper investigates a characteristic-$p$ analogue of a well-known fact concerning flat vector bundles in…

We give a rigorous account and prove continuity properties for the correspondence between almost flat bundles on a triangularizable compact connected space and the quasi-representations of its fundamental group. For a discrete countable…

We prove the vanishing of a certain characteristic class of flat vector bundles when the structure groups of the bundles are contained in GL(N,Z). We do so by explicitly writing the characteristic class as an exact form on the base of the…

For a weak 2-group, we construct a bicategory of flat 2-group bundles over differentiable stacks as a localization of a functor bicategory. This description is amenable to explicit geometric constructions. For example, we show that flat…

We study the behaviour of principal bundles under pullback along proper surjective morphisms of either schemes over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 or complex analytic spaces.

We prove a homological characterization of $Q$-manifolds bundles over $C$-spaces. This provides a partial answer to Question QM22 from \cite{w}.

We prove that the vanishing of the functoriality morphism for the \'etale fundamental group between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ forces the same property for the fundamental groups…

The isomorphism of 0-homology groups of a categorical at zero semigroup and homology groups of its 0-reflector is proved. Some applications of 0-homology to Eilenberg-MacLane homology of semigroups are given.

We review Hopf-Galois extensions, in particular faithfully flat ones, accepted to be the noncommutative algebraic dual of a principal bundle. We also make a short digression into how quantum groups relate to Hopf-Galois extensions. Several…

The purpose of this survey is to explain some recent results about analogies between characteristic 0 and characteristic $p>0$ geometry, and to discuss an infinitesimal variant of motivic cohomology. More specifically, we review results…

We compare modular forms of characteristic $p>0$ (i.e. Drinfeld's modular forms) and automorphic forms. We prove that spaces of these modular forms (which are of characteristic $p$) can be described by function spaces of characteristic…

The aim of this brief note for the volume in honor of S. S. Chern is to give a construction for $p$-torsion line bundles in characteristic $p>0$ which plays a similar r\^ole as the standard connection on an $n$-torsion line bundle in…

The characteristic forms in the bundle of connections of a principal bundle P over M determine the characteristic classes of P for degree less or equal to the dimension of M, and differential forms on the space of connections for higher…

There is a well known bijective correspondence between isomorphism classes of polystable vector bundles $E$ with $c_i(E)=0$ for $i\geq 1$ on a smooth complex projective variety and equivalence classes of unitary representations of the…

In this talk we discuss the relations between representations of algebraic groups and principal bundles on algebraic varieties, especially in characteristic $p$. We quickly review the notions of stable and semistable vector bundles and…

Let $k$ be an algebraic closure of finite fields with odd characteristic $p$ and a smooth projective scheme $\mathbf{X}/W(k)$. Let $\mathbf{X}^0$ be its generic fiber and $X$ the closed fiber. For $\mathbf{X}^0$ a curve Faltings conjectured…

In this paper we provide the complete classification of $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundles over smooth projective rational surfaces whose neutral component of the automorphism group is maximal. Our results hold over any algebraically closed field of…
