This article is devoted to investigations of a structure and homomorphisms of microbundles. Microbundles are generalizations of manifolds. For manifolds it was studied when their families of homomorphism can be supplied with the manifold…

Essentials of sheaves are briefly presented, followed by related comments on presheaves, bundles, manifolds and singularities, aiming to point to their differences not only in their different formal mathematical structures, but also in the…

In this paper we introduce a set of equations on a principal bundle over a compact complex manifold coupling a connection on the principal bundle, a section of an associated bundle with K\"ahler fibre, and a K\"ahler structure on the base.…

We investigate principal bundles over a root stack. In case of dimension one, we generalize the criterion of Weil and Atiyah for a principal bundle to have an algebraic connection.

Given a supervector bundle $E = E_0\oplus E_1 \to M$, we exhibit a parametrization of Quillen superconnections on $E$ by graded connections on the Cartan-Koszul supermanifold $(M;\Omega (M))$. The relation between the curvatures of both…

The parallel linear transports defined by flat linear connection are axiomatically described. On this basis a number of properties, some of which are new, of these transports and connections are derived.

In this paper are studied the nets of principal curvature lines on surfaces embedded in Euclidean $3-$space near their end points, at which the surfaces tend to infinity. This is a natural complement and extension to smooth surfaces of the…

We consider the motion by curvature of a network of smooth curves with multiple junctions in the plane, that is, the geometric gradient flow associated to the length functional. Such a flow represents the evolution of a two--dimensional…

We develop some results on the positivity of direct image bundles in the particular case of a trivial fibration over a one-dimensional base. We also apply the results to study variations of Kahler metrics.

The simplest patterns of qualitative changes on the configurations of lines of principal curvature} around umbilic points on surfaces whose immersions into $\mathbb R^3$ depend smoothly on a real parameter (codimension one umbilic…

We prove the $p$-curvature conjecture for rank two vector bundles with connection on generic curves, by combining deformation techniques for families of varieties and topological arguments.

We define contact fiber bundles and investigate conditions for the existence of contact structures on the total space of such a bundle. The results are analogous to minimal coupling in symplectic geometry. The two applications are…

This paper delves into the concept of ``fat bundles'' within Riemannian submersions. One explores the structural implications of fat Riemannian submersions, particularly focusing on those with non-negative sectional curvature. The main…

This paper is a sequel to \cite{Berndtsson}. In that paper we studied the vector bundle associated to the direct image of the relative canonical bundle of a smooth K\"ahler morphism, twisted with a semipositive line bundle. We proved that…

We study equations on a principal bundle over a compact complex manifold coupling a connection on the bundle with a Kahler structure on the base. These equations generalize the conditions of constant scalar curvature for a Kahler metric and…

A generalization of classical gauge theory is presented, in the framework of a noncommutative-geometric formalism of quantum principal bundles over smooth manifolds. Quantum counterparts of classical gauge bundles, and classical gauge…

In a previous work, the authors gave a definition of `front bundles'. Using this, we give a realization theorem for wave fronts in space forms, like as in the fundamental theorem of surface theory. As an application, we investigate the…

We study curve singularities in a smooth surface relative to a smooth boundary curve. We consider the semiuniversal deformations and equisingular deformations of curves with a fixed local intersection number $w$ with the boundary, and prove…

Let $P(M,G)$ be a principal fiber bundle, let $\omega$ be a connection form on $P(M,G)$, and consider a projectable connection $\nabla^{P}$ on $P(M,G)$. The aim of this work is to determine the $\nabla^{P}$-martingales in $P(M,G)$. Our…
