A homotopy construction of the adjoint representation for Lie groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a compact, simply-connected, simple Lie group and T ⊂ G a maximal torus. The purpose of this paper is to study the connection between various fibrations over BG (where G is a compact, simply-connected, simple Lie group) associated to the adjoint representation and homotopy colimits over poset categories C, hocolimCBGI where GI are certain connected maximal rank subgroups of G.

Modular Classes of Lie Groupoid Representations up to Homotopy
We describe a construction of the modular class associated to a representation up to homotopy of a Lie groupoid. In the case of the adjoint representation up to homotopy, this class is the obstruction to the existence of a volume form, in the sense of Weinstein’s “The volume of a differentiable stack”.
متن کاملADJOINT SPACES AND FLAG VARIETIES OF p-COMPACT GROUPS
For a compact Lie group G with maximal torus T, Pittie and Smith showed that the flag variety G/T is always a stably framed boundary. We generalize this to the category of p-compact groups, where the geometric argument is replaced by a homotopy theoretic argument showing that the class in the stable homotopy groups of spheres represented by G/T is trivial, even G-equivariantly. As an applicatio...
متن کامل0 Connections up to homotopy and characteristic classes ∗
The aim of this note is to clarify the relevance of “connections up to homotopy” [4, 5] to the theory of characteristic classes, and to present an application to the characteristic classes of Lie algebroids [3, 5, 7] (and of Poisson manifolds in particular [8, 13]). We have already remarked [4] that such connections up to homotopy can be used to compute the classical Chern characters. Here we p...
متن کاملRepresentations up to homotopy of Lie algebroids
We introduce and study the notion of representation up to homotopy of a Lie algebroid, paying special attention to examples. We use representations up to homotopy to define the adjoint representation of a Lie algebroid and show that the resulting cohomology controls the deformations of the structure. The Weil algebra of a Lie algebroid is defined and shown to coincide with Kalkman’s BRST model ...
متن کامل0 Chern characters via connections up to homotopy ∗
1 Introduction: The aim of this note is to point out that Chern characters can be computed using curvatures of " connections up to homotopy " , and to present an application to the vanishing theorem for Lie algebroids. Classically, Chern characters are computed with the help of a connection and its curvature. However, one often has to relax the notion of connection so that one gains more freedo...
