Algebroid nature of the characteristic classes of flat bundles

Jan Kubarski (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

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],...

Tangent lifts of higher order of multiplicative Dirac structures

P. M. Kouotchop Wamba, A. Ntyam (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The tangent lifts of higher order of Dirac structures and some properties have been defined in [9] and studied in [11]. By the same way, the tangent lifts of higher order of Poisson structures have been studied in [10] and some applications are given. In particular, the authors have studied the nature of the Lie algebroids and singular foliations induced by these lifting. In this paper, we study the tangent lifts of higher order of multiplicative Poisson structures, multiplicative Dirac...

Moduli spaces of Lie algebroid connections

Libor Křižka (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We shall prove that the moduli space of irreducible Lie algebroid connections over a connected compact manifold has a natural structure of a locally Hausdorff Hilbert manifold. This generalizes some known results for the moduli space of simple semi-connections on a complex vector bundle over a compact complex manifold.
