A Chain Level Transfer Homomorphism.
Let be a principal fiber bundle and an associated fiber bundle. Our interest is to study the harmonic sections of the projection of into . Our first purpose is give a characterization of harmonic sections of into regarding its equivariant lift. The second purpose is to show a version of a Liouville theorem for harmonic sections of .
We construct a cohomology transfer for n-fold ramified covering maps. Then we define a very general concept of transfer for ramified covering maps and prove a classification theorem for such transfers. This generalizes Roush's classification of transfers for n-fold ordinary covering maps. We characterize those representable cofunctors which admit a family of transfers for ramified covering maps that have two naturality properties, as well as normalization and stability. This is analogous to Roush's...
Sullivan associated a uniquely determined to any simply connected simplicial complex . This algebra (called minimal model) contains the total (and exactly) rational homotopy information of the space . In case is the total space of a principal -bundle, ( is a compact connected Lie-group) we associate a -equivariant model , which is a collection of “-homotopic” ’s with -action. will, in general, be different from the Sullivan’s minimal model of the space . contains the total rational...
This paper studies the relationship between the sections and the Chern or Pontrjagin classes of a vector bundle by the theory of connection. Our results are natural generalizations of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem.
We use known results on the characteristic rank of the canonical –plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold to compute the generators of the –cohomology groups for . Drawing from the similarities of these examples with the general description of the cohomology rings of we conjecture some predictions.
