On the kernel of holonomy.

Ana Paula Caetano (1996)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

A connection on a principal G-bundle may be identified with a smooth group morphism H : GL∞(M) → G, called a holonomy, where GL∞(M) is a group of equivalence classes of loops on the base M. The present article focuses on the kernel of this morphism, which consists of the classes of loops along which parallel transport is trivial. Use is made of a formula expressing the gauge potential as a suitable derivative of the holonomy, allowing a different proof of a theorem of Lewandowski’s, which states...

On the loop homology of complex projective spaces

David Chataur, Jean-François Le Borgne (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

In this short note we compute the Chas-Sullivan BV-algebra structure on the singular homology of the free loop space of complex projective spaces. We compare this result with computations in Hochschild cohomology.

On the real cohomology of spaces of free loops on manifolds

Katsuhiko Kuribayashi (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let LX be the space of free loops on a simply connected manifold X. When the real cohomology of X is a tensor product of algebras generated by a single element, we determine the algebra structure of the real cohomology of LX by using the cyclic bar complex of the de Rham complex Ω(X) of X. In consequence, the algebra generators of the real cohomology of LX can be represented by differential forms on LX through Chen’s iterated integral map. Let 𝕋 be the circle group. The 𝕋 -equivariant cohomology...
