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…

We present in the most natural way, that is, in the context of the theory of vector and principal bundles and connections in them, fundamental geometrical concepts related to General Relativity and one of its extensions, the Einstein-Cartan…

The linear transports along paths in vector bundles introduced in Ref. [1] are applied to the special case of tensor bundles over a given differentiable manifold. Links with the transports along paths generated by derivations of tensor…

A family of holomorphic vector bundles is constructed on a complex manifold $X$. The space of the holomorphic sections of these bundles are calculated in certain cases. As an application, if $X$ is an $N$-dimensional compact K\"ahler…

We describe natural abelian extensions of the Lie algebra $\aut(P)$ of infinitesimal automorphisms of a principal bundle over a compact manifold $M$ and discuss their integrability to corresponding Lie group extensions. Already the case of…

We prove the existence of quadratic relations between periods of meromorphic flat bundles on complex manifolds with poles along a divisor with normal crossings under the assumption of "goodness". In dimension one, for which goodness is…

The purely classical counterpart of the Scattering Probability Matrix (SPM) $\mid S_{n,m}\mid^2$ of the quantum scattering matrix $S$ is defined for 2D quantum waveguides for an arbitrary number of propagating modes $M$. We compare the…

We introduce a class of first order G-structures, each of which has an underlying almost conformally symplectic structure. There is one such structure for each real simple Lie algebra which is not of type $C_n$ and admits a contact grading.…

Let $G_\Gamma$ be a graph product over a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, and let $K_\Gamma$ denote the kernel of the canonical homomorphism from $G_\Gamma$ to the direct product of its vertex groups. It is known that, up to isomorphism,…

We prove that a vector bundle $\pi : E \to M$ is characterized by the Lie algebra generated by all differential operators on $E$ which are eigenvectors of the Lie derivative in the direction of the Euler vector field. Our result is of…

A vector bundle on a projective variety has a natural cohomology if for every twist its cohomology is concentrated in a single degree. Eisenbud and Schreyer conjectured there should be vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective scheme and $E$ a vector bundle on $X$. For a relative hypersurface $Y_f \subset \mathbb{P}(E)$ of degree $d$ defined by a global section $f$, we establish a functorial equivalence between the category of…

Natural linear and coalgebra transformations of tensor algebras are studied. The representations of certain combinatorial groups are given. These representations are connected to natural transformations of tensor algebras and to the groups…

Let $p_E : E \to M$ be a fibre bundle over the $m$-dimensional manifold $M$ whose typical fibre is the vector space $\R^e$ and let $p_F : F \to N$ be a fibre bundle over the $n$-dimensional manifold $N$ whose typical fibre is the vector…

The paper introduces the notion of h-normal \Gamma-linear connection \nabla on 1-jet fibre bundle J^1(T,M), and studies its local d-torsions and d-curvatures togheter with theirs Bianchi identities. Also, it presents the important…

We study systems of linear and semilinear mappings considering them as representations of a directed graph $G$ with full and dashed arrows: a representation of $G$ is given by assigning to each vertex a complex vector space, to each full…

A new construction of a universal connection was given in \cite{BHS}. The main aim here is to explain this construction. A theorem of Atiyah and Weil says that a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact Riemann surface admits a…

A rooted planar map is a connected graph embedded in the 2-sphere, with one edge marked and assigned an orientation. A term of the pure lambda calculus is said to be linear if every variable is used exactly once, normal if it contains no…

Narasihman and Ramanan proved that an arbitrary connection in a vector bundle over a base space B can be obtained as the pull-back (via a correctly chosen classifying map from B into the appropriate Grassmannian) of the universal connection…

We compare the following three families of geometric objects: Schubert varieties in flag manifolds, matrix Schubert varieties, and Borel orbits of 2-nilpotent matrices. The first family is governed by permutations, the second by partial…
