Connections on 1-jets principal fiber bundles
This paper is a contribution to the axiomatic approach to geometric objects. A collection of a manifold M, a topological space N, a group homomorphism E: Diff(M) → Homeo(N) and a function π: N → M is called a quasi-natural bundle if (1) π ∘ E(f) = f ∘ π for every f ∈ Diff(M) and (2) if f,g ∈ Diff(M) are two diffeomorphisms such that f|U = g|U for some open subset U of M, then E(f)|π^{-1}(U) = E(g)|π^{-1}(U). We give conditions which ensure that π: N → M is continuous. In particular, if (M,N,E,π)...
The main purpose of this work is to study fixed points of fiber-preserving maps over the circle S¹ for spaces which are fiber bundles over S¹ and the fiber is the Klein bottle K. We classify all such maps which can be deformed fiberwise to a fixed point free map. The similar problem for torus fiber bundles over S¹ has been solved recently.
The main purpose of this work is to study fixed points of fiber-preserving maps over the circle S¹ for spaces which are fibrations over S¹ and the fiber is the torus ,T. For the case where the fiber is a surface with nonpositive Euler characteristic, we establish general algebraic conditions, in terms of the fundamental group and the induced homomorphism, for the existence of a deformation of a map over S¹ to a fixed point free map. For the case where the fiber is a torus, we classify all maps over...
