In classical field theory, the composite fibred manifolds Y -> Z -> X provides the adequate mathematical formulation of gauge models with broken symmetries, e.g., the gauge gravitation theory. This work is devoted to connections on…
In this note we make use of some properties of vector fields on a manifold to give an alternate proof to [3] for the equivalence between connections and parallel transport on vector bundles over manifolds. Out of the proof will emerge a new…
A generalised notion of connection on a fibre bundle E over a manifold M is presented. These connections are characterised by a smooth distribution on E which projects onto a (not necessarily integrable) distribution on M and which, in…
The paper contains a review on the general connection theory on differentiable fibre bundles. Particular attention is paid to (linear) connections on vector bundles. The (local) representations of connections in frames adapted to holonomic…
The main theorem states that any complete connected Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry can be isometrically realized as a leaf with trivial holonomy in a compact Riemannian foliated space.
In this paper we show that a uniruled manifold with a split tangent bundle admits almost holomorphic fibrations that are related to the splitting. We analyse these fibrations in detail in several special cases, this yields new results about…
This paper stresses the strong link between the existence of partial holomorphic connections on the normal bundle of a foliation seen as a quotient of the ambient tangent bundle and the extendability of a foliation to an infinitesimal…

We define a notion of connection in a fibre bundle that is compatible with a singular foliation of the base. Fibre bundles equipped with such connections are in plentiful supply, arising naturally for any Lie groupoid-equivariant bundle,…
The construction of a linear connection on a pullback bundle from a connection on a vector bundle is explained in terms of fiberwise linear approximation. This procedure clarifies the geometric meaning of the linearized connection as well…
Transports along path in fibre bundles are axiomatically introduced. Their general functional form and some their simple properties are investigated. The relationships of the transports along paths and lifting of paths are studied.
This note provides a detailed proof of the fact that a linear vector field on a vector bundle has a flow by vector bundle isomorphisms. It implies then easily the existence of global solutions to linear non-autonomous ODE's, with a standard…
This paper is devoted to rigidity of smooth bundles which are equipped with fiberwise geometric or dynamical structure. We show that the fiberwise associated sphere bundle to a bundle whose leaves are equipped with (continuously varying)…
A way to characterize the space of leaves of a foliation in terms of connections is proposed. A particular example of vertex algebra cohomology of codimension one foliations on complex curves is considered.
The theory of twistors on foliated manifolds is developed and the twistor space of the normal bundle is constructed. It is demonstrated that the classical constructions of the twistor theory lead to foliated objects and permit to formulate…
A stratified bundle is a fibered space in which strata are classical bundles and in which attachment of strata is controlled by a structure category of fibers. Well known results on fibre bundles are shown to be true for stratified bundles;…
Base of fibered correspondence is arbitrary correspondence. Fibered correspondence is interesting when we consider relationship between different bundles. However composition of fibered correspondences may not always be defined. Reduced…
A review of the parallel transport (translation) in fibre bundles is presented. The connections between transports along paths and parallel transports in fibre bundles are examined. It is proved that the latter ones are special cases of the…
