Every smooth fiber bundle admits a complete (Ehresmann) connection. This result appears in several references, with a proof on which we have found a gap, that does not seem possible to remedy. In this note we provide a definite proof for…

We are concerned with the theory of existence and uniqueness of flows generated by divergence free vector fields with compact support. Hence, assuming that the velocity vector fields are measurable, bounded, and the flows in the Euclidean…

A VB-algebroid is a vector bundle object in the category of Lie algebroids. We attach to every VB-algebroid a differential graded Lie algebra and we show that it controls deformations of the VB-algebroid structure. Several examples and…

In this paper, we study the cohomology of vector bundles on projective space defined as kernels or cokernels of general maps $V_1 \to V_2$, where the $V_i$ are direct sums of line bundles or certain exceptional bundles. We prove an…

In this paper we prove the following result: if two 2-dimensional 2-homogeneous rational vector fields commute, then either both vector fields can be explicitly integrated to produce rational flows with orbits being lines through the…

We generalize some of the results of Harvey, Lawson and Latschev about transgression formulas. The focus here is on flowing forms via vertical vector fields, especially Morse-Bott-Smale vector fields. We prove a very general transgression…

A flat vector bundle on an algebraic variety supports two natural definable structures given by the flat and algebraic coordinates. In this note we show these two structures coincide, subject to a condition on the local monodromy at…

We find lower bounds on the rank of a "real" vector bundle over an involutive space, such that "real" vector bundles of higher rank have a trivial summand and such that a stable isomorphism for such bundles implies ordinary isomorphism. We…

We consider the problem of approximating a linear cocycle (or, more generally, a vector bundle automorphism) over a fixed base dynamics by another cocycle admitting a dominated splitting. We prove that the possibility of doing so depends…

Several intrinsic topological ways to encode connections on vector bundles on smooth complex algebraic curves will be described. In particular the notion of {\em Stokes decompositions} will be formalised, as a convenient intermediate…

It is known that a vector bundle E on a smooth projective curve Y defined over an algebraically closed field is semistable if and only if there is a vector bundle F on Y such that the cohomologies of E\otimes F vanish. We extend this…

Let X be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field k. Nori constructed a category of vector bundles on X, called essentially finite vector bundles, which is reminiscent of the category of representations of the…

We study the Yang-Mills flow on a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact Kahler manifold X. We construct a natural barrier function along the flow, and introduce some techniques to study the blow-up of the curvature along the flow.…

We study the existence problem and the enumeration problem for sections of Serre fibrations over compact orientable surfaces. When the fundamental group of the fiber is finite, a complete solution is given in terms of 2-dimensional…

We construct the space of vector fields on a generic quantum group. Its elements are products of elements of the quantum group itself with left invariant vector fields. We study the duality between vector fields and 1-forms and generalize…

The analogy between 1+3 splittings of the spacetime tangent bundle and the splitting of the tangent bundle to the bundle of linear frames into vertical and horizontal sub-bundles is described from the unifying standpoint of the geometry of…

A vector bundle $E$ over a projective variety $M$ is called finite if it satisfies a nontrivial polynomial equation with nonnegative integral coefficients. Introducing finite bundles, Nori proved that $E$ is finite if and only if the…

We generalize the notion of a Lie algebroid over infinite jet bundle by replacing the variational anchor with an N-tuple of differential operators whose images in the Lie algebra of evolutionary vector fields of the jet space are subject to…

Let M be a simply connected Riemannian symmetric space, with at most one flat direction. We show that every Riemannian (or unitary) vector bundle with parallel curvature over M is an associated vector bundle of a canonical principal bundle,…

This is a review of the basic concepts of the theory of real and complex smooth vector bundles with finite rank. Besides, the concept of a tensor field is studied within the general framework of a smooth vector bundle rather than a smooth…
