We show that principal bundles for a semisimple group on an arbitrary affine curve over an algebraically closed field are trivial, provided the order of $\pi_1$ of the group is invertible in the ground field, or if the curve has semi-normal…

We investigate the properties of a specific quotient space construction, the "warped projection'" $\pi: W_\alpha \to D_\alpha$, over a smoothly contractible base. In a previous version of this work, it was claimed that this structure…
