Characteristic homomorphism for ( F 1 , F 2 ) -foliated bundles over subfoliated manifolds

José Manuel Carballés (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper a construction of characteristic classes for a subfoliation ( F 1 , F 2 ) is given by using Kamber-Tondeur’s techniques. For this purpose, the notion of ( F 1 , F 2 ) -foliated principal bundle, and the definition of its associated characteristic homomorphism, are introduced. The relation with the characteristic homomorphism of F i -foliated bundles, i = 1 , 2 , the results of Kamber-Tondeur on the cohomology of g - D G -algebras. Finally, Goldman’s results on the restriction of foliated bundles to the leaves of...

The works of Charles Ehresmann on connections: from Cartan connections to connections on fibre bundles

Charles-Michel Marle (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Around 1923, Élie Cartan introduced affine connections on manifolds and defined the main related concepts: torsion, curvature, holonomy groups. He discussed applications of these concepts in Classical and Relativistic Mechanics; in particular he explained how parallel transport with respect to a connection can be related to the principle of inertia in Galilean Mechanics and, more generally, can be used to model the motion of a particle in a gravitational field. In subsequent papers,...
