Algebroid nature of the characteristic classes of flat bundles

Jan Kubarski (1998)

Banach Center Publications

The following two homotopic notions are important in many domains of differential geometry: - homotopic homomorphisms between principal bundles (and between other objects), - homotopic subbundles. They play a role, for example, in many fundamental problems of characteristic classes. It turns out that both these notions can be - in a natural way - expressed in the language of Lie algebroids. Moreover, the characteristic homomorphisms of principal bundles (the Chern-Weil homomorphism [K4], or the...

Algorithms for Nielsen type periodic numbers of maps with remnant on surfaces with boundary and on bouquets of circles I

Evelyn L. Hart, Philip R. Heath, Edward C. Keppelmann (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In this paper and its sequel we present a method that, under loose restrictions, is algorithmic for calculating the Nielsen type numbers NΦₙ(f) and NPₙ(f) of self maps f of hyperbolic surfaces with boundary and also of bouquets of circles. Because self maps of these surfaces have the same homotopy type as maps on wedges of circles, and the Nielsen periodic numbers are homotopy type invariant, we need concentrate only on the latter spaces. Of course the results will then automatically apply...

An approach to shape covering maps.

I. Pop (1999)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In this note we give an approach to shape covering maps which is comparable to that of *-fibrations (Mardesic and Rushing (1978)). The introduced notion conserves some important properties of usual covering maps.
