In this paper we show how connections and their generalizations on transitive Lie algebroids are related to the notion of connections in the framework of the derivation-based noncommutative geometry. In order to compare the two…
In this paper we study the local description of spaces of forms on transitive Lie algebroids. We use this local description to introduce global structures like metrics, $\ast$-Hodge operation and integration along the algebraic part of the…
It is well-known that principal bundles and associated bundles underlie the geometric structure of classical gauge field theories. In this paper, we explore the reformulation of gauge theories in terms of Lie algebroids and their associated…
This paper presents relevant modern mathematical formulations for (classical) gauge field theories, namely, ordinary differential geometry, noncommutative geometry, and transitive Lie algebroids. They provide rigorous frameworks to describe…
There is the notion of action Lie algebroids, containing information about Lie algebras and their actions, which is why it is natural to generalise gauge theories to a formulation using Lie algebroids; these allow structure functions in…
To address the need for a unified framework that incorporates Lie algebroid connections on both vector and principal bundles, this paper investigates a generalized Atiyah algebroid structure and its short exact sequence. Building on this…
Motivated from target space covariant formulations of topological sigma models and from a graded-geometric approach to higher gauge theory, we study connections on Lie and Courant algebroids and on their description as differential graded…
We review the present status of gauge theories built on various quantum space-times described by noncommutative space-times. The mathematical tools and notions underlying their construction are given. Different formulations of gauge theory…
We propose a general notion of algebraic gauge theory obtained via extracting the main properties of classical gauge theory. Building on a recent work on transferring curved $A_{\infty}$-structures we show that, under certain technical…
We introduce the notion of a Lie algebroid structure on an affine bundle whose base manifold is fibred over the real numbers. It is argued that this is the framework which one needs for coming to a time-dependent generalization of the…
The intention of this article is to make an attempt of classification of transitive Lie algebroids and on this basis to construct a classifying space. The realization of the intention allows to describe characteristic classes of transitive…
The talk was done at the International Conference "Analysis, Topology and Applications", Harbin, China, 23.08.2011. Transitive Lie algebroids have specific properties that allow to look at the transitive Lie algebroid as an element of the…
In this paper, we explore the algebraic and geometric structures that arise from a procedure we dub "gauging the gauge", which involves the promotion of a certain global, coordinate independent symmetry to a local one. By gauging the global…
We introduce the notion of \textbf{Q}-principal bundle, which is the appropriate version of principal fibre bundles in the setting of R. Barre's \textbf{Q}-manifolds. As an application, we prove that every transitive Lie algebroid arises…
A framework for constructing new kinds of gauge theories is suggested. Essentially it consists in replacing Lie algebras by Lie or Courant algebroids. Besides presenting novel topological theories defined in arbitrary spacetime dimensions,…
We investigate an interplay between some ideas in traditional gauge theory and certain concepts in fibered categories. We accomplish this by introducing a notion of a principal Lie 2-group bundle over a Lie groupoid and studying its…
In this series of two papers we will generalise the concept of extending a Lie algebroid by a Lie algebra bundle, leading to a notion of extending a Lie algebroid by another Lie algebroid whose orbits lie in the orbits of the former…
We present a mathematical framework of gauge theories that is based upon a skew-adjoint Lie algebra and a generalized Dirac operator, both acting on a Hilbert space.
We develop a generalised gauge theory in which the role of gauge group is played by a coalgebra and the role of principal bundle by an algebra. The theory provides a unifying point of view which includes quantum group gauge theory,…
We review our efforts in investigating gauge theories with fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group by means of numerical simulations. These theories have applications in possible extensions of the Standard Model of…
