The most important examples of a double vector bundle are provided by iterated tangent and cotangent functors: TTM, TT^*M, T^*TM, and T^*T^*M. We introduce the notions of the dual double vector bundle and the dual double vector bundle…
Double vector bundles may be dualized in two distinct ways and these duals are themselves dual. These two dualizations generate a group, denoted $\mathscr{D}\mathscr{F}_2$, which is the symmetric group $S_3$ on three symbols. In the case of…
A linear section of a double vector bundle is a parallel pair of sections which form a vector bundle morphism; examples include the complete lifts of vector fields to tangent bundles and the horizontal lifts arising from a connection in a…
We define double principal bundles (DPBs), for which the frame bundle of a double vector bundle, double Lie groups and double homogeneous spaces are basic examples. It is shown that a double vector bundle can be realized as the associated…
A duality is discussed for Lie group bundles vs. certain tensor categories with non-simple identity, in the setting of Nistor-Troitsky gauge-equivariant K-theory. As an application, we study C*-algebra bundles with fibre a fixed-point…
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…
A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…
We calculate the group of dualization operations for triple vector bundles, showing that it has order 96 and not 72 as given in Mackenzie's original treatment. The group is a nonsplit extension of S4 by the Klein group. Dualization…
The word `double' was used by Ehresmann to mean `an object X in the category of all X'. Double categories, double groupoids and double vector bundles are instances, but the notion of Lie algebroid cannot readily be doubled in the Ehresmann…
We introduce a cohomological invariant arising from a class in nonabelian cohomology. This invariant generalizes the Dixmier-Douady class and encodes the obstruction to a C*-algebra bundle being the fixed-point algebra of a gauge action. As…
This article has been written for an educational magazine whose target audience consists of students and teachers of mathematics in universities, colleges and schools. It concerns a notion of duality between rectangles. A proof is given…
We propose a description of T-duality between general geometric and non-geometric backgrounds as higher groupoid bundles with connections. Our description extends the previous observation by Nikolaus and Waldorf that the topological aspects…
The construction of double point cobordism groups of vector bundles on varieties in the work [Lee-P] (arXiv:1002.1500 [math.AG]) of Yuan-Pin Lee and Rahul Pandharipande gives immediately double point cobordism groups of filtered vector…
We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a model for 2-vector spaces. We discuss symmetric monoidal…
In 2017, Catanese--Perroni gave a natural correspondence between the Picard group of a double cover and a set of pairs of a vector bundle of rank two and a certain morphism of vector bundles on the base space. In this paper, we describe the…
We introduce a linear algebraic object called a bidiagonal triple. A bidiagonal triple consists of three diagonalizable linear transformations on a finite-dimensional vector space, each of which acts in a bidiagonal fashion on the…
Recently Baraglia showed how topological T-duality can be extended to apply not only to principal circle bundles, but also to non-principal circle bundles. We show that his results can also be recovered via two other methods: the…
We extend topological T-duality to the case of general circle bundles. In this setting we prove existence and uniqueness of T-duals. We then show that T-dual spaces have isomorphic twisted cohomology, twisted $K$-theory and Courant…
The equivalence problem for linear differential operators of the second order, acting in vector bundles, is discussed. The field of rational invariants of symbols is described and connections, naturally accosiated with differential…
A new global approach in the study of duality transformations is introduced. The geometrical structure of complex line bundles is generalized to higher order U(1) bundles which are classified by quantized charges and duality maps are…
