Abstract

Let ω be the universal connection on the bundle E U ( n ) B U ( n ) . Given a principal U ( n ) -bundle P M with connection A , we determine the homotopy type of the space of maps ϕ of M into B U ( n ) such that ( ϕ + E U ( n ) , ϕ + ω ) is isomorphic to ( P , A ) . Here ϕ + denotes pull-back.
