The action of Ashtekar's generalized gauge group $\Gb$ on the space $\Ab$ of generalized connections is investigated for compact structure groups $\LG$. First a stratum is defined to be the set of all connections of one and the same gauge…
We study the quantization of abelian gauge theories of principal torus bundles over compact manifolds with and without boundary. It is shown that these gauge theories suffer from a Gribov ambiguity originating in the non-triviality of the…
The properties of the space $\A$ of regular connections as a subset of the space $\Ab$ of generalized connections in the Ashtekar framework are studied. For every choice of compact structure group and smoothness category for the paths it is…
We give a criterion for a flat fibration with affine plane fibers over a smooth scheme defined over a field of characteristic zero to be a Zariski locally trivial $\mathbb{A}^2$-bundle. An application is a positive answer to a version of…
We address the recently introduced notions of generalized principal bundle and generalized principal connection by keeping track of global geometric properties through local coordinate transformation laws. This approach leads us to…
The geometry of graded principal bundles is discussed in the framework of graded manifold theory of Kostant-Berezin-Leites. In particular, we prove that a graded principal bundle is globally trivial if and only if it admits a global graded…
Generalized contact bundles are odd dimensional analogues of generalized complex manifolds. They have been introduced recently and very little is known about them. In this paper we study their local structure. Specifically, we prove a local…
After reviewing Gribov ambiguity of non-Abelian gauge theories, a phenomenon related to the topology of the bundle of gauge connections, we show that there is a similar feature for noncommutative QED over Moyal space, despite the structure…
A gauge theory is associated with a principal bundle endowed with a connection permitting to define horizontal lifts of paths. The horizontal lifts of surfaces cannot be defined into a principal bundle structure. An higher gauge theory is…
The functional-integral quantization of non-Abelian gauge theories is affected by the Gribov problem at non-perturbative level: the requirement of preserving the supplementary conditions under gauge transformations leads to a non-linear…
The purpose of this paper is to present a generalized hole argument for gauge field theories and their geometrical setting in terms of fiber bundles. The generalized hole argument is motivated and extended from the spacetime hole arguments…
In this paper connections between different gauge-theoretical problems in high and low dimensions are established. In particular it is shown that higher dimensional asd equations on total spaces of spinor bundles over low dimensional…
The concept of generalised (in the sense of Colombeau) connection on a principal fibre bundle is introduced. This definition is then used to extend results concerning the geometry of principal fibre bundles to those that only have a…
We introduce the notion of locally trivial quantum principal bundles. The base space and total space are compact quantum spaces (unital $C^{\star}$-algebras), the structure group is a compact matrix quantum group. We prove that a quantum…
We introduce a geometric construction of a gauge field theory of a complex adaptive system. It is based on a suitable simplicial formulation of a discrete geometry that manifests relevant properties valid in the classical differentiable…
On a fiber bundle without structure group the action of the gauge group (the group of all fiber respecting diffeomorphisms) on the space of (generalized) connections is shown not to admit slices.
We discuss the existence of Gribov ambiguities in $SU(m)\times U(1)$ gauge theories over the $n-$spheres. We achieve our goal by showing that there is exactly one conjugacy class of groups of gauge transformations for the theories given…
Different versions for defining Ashtekar's generalized connections are investigated depending on the chosen smoothness category for the paths and graphs -- the label set for the projective limit. Our definition covers the analytic case as…
In this note we show that if a compact Kahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle is the total space of a holomorphic fibration without singular fibers, then the fibration is a holomorphic fiber bundle. In the algebraic case, the…
We study the relations between the triviality of the tangent bundle $TM$ and the generalized tangent bundle $\mathbb{T}M = TM\oplus T^*M$ of a manifold. We show that the generalized tangent bundle of a paralellizable manifold is trivial. We…
