Generalised connections over a vector bundle map

holonomy of connections over a bundle map

In this paper we introduce a generalisation of the notion of holonomy for connections over a bundle map on a principal fibre bundle. We prove that, as in the standard theory on principal connections, the holonomy groups are Lie subgroups of the structure group of the principle fibre bundle and we also derive a straightforward generalisation of the Reduction Theorem.

Universal Vector Bundle over the Reals

Let XR be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve, defined over R, such that XR does not have any real points. Let X = XR×R C be the complex curve. We show that there is a universal real algebraic line bundle over XR × Pic d(XR) if and only if χ(L) is odd for L ∈ Picd(XR). There is a universal quaternionic algebraic line bundle over X × Pic(X) if and only if the degree d is odd. Tak...

Generalised connections and curvature

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 generalised connection. Some applications to singular solutions of Yang-Mills theory are given. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): Primary: 46T30; secondary...

Deformations of the Generalised Picard Bundle

Let X be a nonsingular algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 3, and let Mξ denote the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank n ≥ 2 and degree d with fixed determinant ξ over X such that n and d are coprime. We assume that if g = 3 then n ≥ 4 and if g = 4 then n ≥ 3, and suppose further that n0, d0 are integers such that n0 ≥ 1 and nd0 + n0d > nn0(2g − 2). Let E be a semistable vector bundle over ...
