Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $(E,h)\to X$ be a rank $r$ holomorphic hermitian vector bundle, and $\rho$ be a sequence of dimensions $0 = \rho_0 < \rho_1 < \cdots < \rho_m = r$. Let $Q_{\rho,j}$, $j=1,\dots,m$, be the tautological line…

We construct a gauge theory based on principal bundles $\mathcal{P}$ equipped with a right $\mathcal{G}$-action, where $\mathcal{G}$ is a Lie group bundle instead of a Lie group. Due to the fact that a $\mathcal{G}$-action acts fibre by…

When the action of a reductive group on a projective variety has a suitable linearisation, Mumford's geometric invariant theory (GIT) can be used to construct and study an associated quotient variety. In this article we describe how…

A bundle gerbe is constructed from an oriented smooth vector bundle of even rank with a fiberwise inner product, over a compact connected orientable smooth manifold with Riemannian metric. From a trivialization of the bundle gerbe is…

An approach to gauge theory in the context of locally conformally flat space-time is described. It is discussed how there are a number of natural principal bundles associated with any given locally conformally flat space-time $X$. The…

We classify globally generated vector bundles on $\mathbf{P}^1 \times \mathbf{P}^1 \times \mathbf{P}^1$ with small first Chern class, i.e. $c_1= (a_1, a_2, a_3)$, $a_i \le 2$. Our main method is to investigate the associated smooth curves…

Let G be a connected reductive affine algebraic group. In this short note we define the "variety of G-characters" of a finitely generated group F and show that the quotient of the G-character variety of F by the action of the trace…

Classical Clifford theory studies the decomposition of simple $G$-modules into simple $H$-modules for some normal subgroup $H \triangleleft G$. In this paper we deal with chains of normal subgroups $1 \triangleleft G_1 \triangleleft \cdots…

Starting from a collection of line bundles on a projective toric orbifold X, we introduce a stacky analogue of the classical linear series. Our first main result extends work of King by building moduli stacks of refined representations of…

For a quasi-split connected reductive group $G$ over a local field $F$ we define a compact abelian group $\tilde\pi_1(G)$ and an extension $1 \to \tilde\pi_1(G) \to G(F)_\infty \to G(F) \to 1$ of topological groups equipped with a splitting…

We consider algebras with basis numerated by elements of a group $G.$ We fix a function $f$ from $G\times G$ to a ground field and give a multiplication of the algebra which depends on $f$. We study the basic properties of such algebras. In…

In this paper we generalize the theory of multiplicative $G$-Higgs bundles over a curve to pairs $(G,\theta)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group and $\theta$ is an involution of $G$. This generalization involves the notion of a…

We address the recently introduced notions of generalized principal bundle and generalized principal connection by keeping track of global geometric properties through local coordinate transformation laws. This approach leads us to…
