چکیده
We define the pull-back of a smooth principal fibre bundle, and show that it has a natural principal fibre bundle structure. Next, we analyse the relationship between pull-backs by homotopy equivalent maps. The main result of this article is to show that for a principal fibre bundle over paracompact manifolds, there is a principal fibre bundle isomorphism between pull-backs obtained from homotopic maps. This enables simple proofs of several results on the structure of principal fibre bundles

An Introduction to Pull-backs of Bundles and Homotopy Invariance
We define the pull-back of a smooth principal fibre bundle, and show that it has a natural principal fibre bundle structure. Next, we analyse the relationship between pull-backs by homotopy equivalent maps. The main result of this article is to show that for a principal fibre bundle over a paracompact manifold, there is a principal fibre bundle isomorphism between pull-backs obtained from homot...
متن کاملPull-in behavior analysis of vibrating functionally graded micro-cantilevers under suddenly DC voltage
The present research attempts to explain dynamic pull-in instability of functionally graded micro-cantilevers actuated by step DC voltage while the fringing-field effect is taken into account in the vibrational equation of motion. By employing modern asymptotic approach namely Homotopy Perturbation Method with an auxiliary term, high-order frequency-amplitude relation is obtained, then the infl...
متن کاملThe Strong Novikov Conjecture for Low Degree Cohomology
We show that for each discrete group Γ, the rational assembly map K∗(BΓ)⊗Q→ K∗(C maxΓ)⊗Q is injective on classes dual to Λ∗ ⊂ H∗(BΓ;Q), where Λ∗ is the subring generated by cohomology classes of degree at most 2. Our result implies homotopy invariance of higher signatures associated to classes in Λ∗. This consequence was first established by Connes-Gromov-Moscovici [4] and Mathai [9]. Our appro...
متن کاملBar Complexes and Formality of Pull-backs
In this note, we show that the pull-back of a fibration by a formal map is formal. The fibration is required to be totally non-homologous to zero, and to be a formal map as well. We are here referring to the notion of formality in the setting of rational homotopy theory. This result extends a theorem of Vigué-Poirrier, [10], where it is proved that the fibre of such a fibration is a formal spac...
متن کاملQuantum principal bundles up to homotopy equivalence
Hopf-Galois extensions are known to be the right generalizations of both Galois field extensions and principal G-bundles in the framework of non-commutative associative algebras. An abundant literature has been devoted to them by Hopf algebra specialists (see [Mg], [Sn1], [Sn2] and references therein). Recently there has been a surge of interest in Hopf-Galois extensions among mathematicians an...
