We introduce the concept of morphism of pseudogroups generalizing the \'etal\'e morphisms of Haefliger. With our definition, any continuous foliated map induces a morphism between the corresponding holonomy pseudogroups. The main theorem…
Let G be a compact, connected and simply connected Lie group, and {\Omega}G the space of the loops in G based at the identity. This note shows a way to compute the cohomology of the total space of a principal {\Omega}G-bundle over a…
Holonomy groups and holonomy algebras for connections on locally free sheaves over supermanifolds are introduced. A one-to-one correspondence between parallel sections and holonomy-invariant vectors, and a one-to-one correspondence between…
For a transitive Lie algebroid A on a connected manifold M and its a representation on a vector bundle F, we study the localization map Y^1: H^1(A,F)-> H^1(L_x,F_x), where L_x is the adjoint algebra at x in M. The main result in this paper…
The notion of {\it generalised structure groups} and {\it generalised holonomy groups} has been introduced in supergravity, in order to discuss the spinor rotations generated by commutators of supercovariant derivatives when non-vanishing…
The aim of this paper is to give a proof of the restriction theorems for principal bundles with a reductive algebraic group as structure group in arbitrary characteristic. Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over any field $k=\bar{k}$,…
A principal bundle over the connected sum of two manifolds need not be diffeomorphic or even homotopy equivalent to a non-trivial connected sum of manifolds. We show however that the homology of the total space of a bundle formed a pullback…
We study the preservation of semisimplicity for holonomic D-modules with respect to the direct and inverse image of mainly finite maps $\pi : X \to Y$ of smooth varieties. A natural filtration of the direct image $\pi_+({\mathcal O}_X)$ is…
We define and study the theory of derivation-based connections on a recently introduced class of bimodules over an algebra which reduces to the category of modules whenever the algebra is commutative. This theory contains, in particular, a…
Just as point objects are parallel transported along curves, giving holonomies, string-like objects are parallel transported along surfaces, giving surface holonomies. Composition of these surfaces correspond to products in a category…
In this paper we describe how one can obtain Lie group structures on the group of (vertical) bundle automorphisms for a locally convex principal bundle P over the compact manifold M. This is done by first considering Lie group structures on…
In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a…
We prove fibrewise versions of classical theorems of Hopf and Leray-Samelson. Our results imply the fibrewise H-triviality after rationalization of a certain class of fibrewise H-spaces. They apply, in particular, to universal adjoint…
We introduce a canonical Chern-Weil map for possibly non-commutative g-differential algebras with connection. Our main observation is that the generalized Chern-Weil map is an algebra homomorphism ``up to g-homotopy''. Hence, the induced…
For complex connected, reductive, affine, algebraic groups $G$, we give a Lie-theoretic characterization of the semistability of principal $G$-co-Higgs bundles on the complex projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ in terms of the simple roots of a…
In this paper, we construct an analogy of holonomy of connection to simplicial sets using A-infinity-categories. To construct it, we develop fiberwise integrals on simplicial sets and define an iterated integral on simplicial sets. It is an…
We study VB-groupoids and VB-algebroids, which are vector bundles in the realm of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids. Through a suitable reformulation of their definitions, we elucidate the Lie theory relating these objects, i.e., their…
In these lecture notes we will try to give an introduction to the use of the mathematics of fibre bundles in the understanding of some global aspects of gauge theories, such as monopoles and instantons. They are primarily aimed at beginning…
The primary interest of this paper is to discuss the role of twisting cochains in the theory of characteristic classes. We begin with the homological description of monodromy map, associated with a connection on a trivial bundle over a…
Consider the principal $U(n)$ bundles over Grassmann manifolds $U(n)\rightarrow U(n+m)/U(m) \stackrel{\pi}\rightarrow G_{n,m}$. Given $X \in U_{m,n}(\mathbb{C})$ and a 2-dimensional subspace $\mathfrak{m}' \subset \mathfrak{m} $ $ \subset…
