Nonabelian Bundle Gerbes, their Differential Geometry and Gauge Theory [PDF]
Bundle gerbes are a higher version of line bundles, we present nonabelian bundle gerbes as a higher version of principal bundles. Connection, curving, curvature and gauge transformations are studied both in a global coordinate independent formalism and ...

Connections in the semiholonomic frame bundle of order r
In this article we define the canonical forms on the principal bundle of semiholonomic frames of order r, give structure equations for these forms and determine the connection of order r.

Exotic spheres’ metrics and solutions via Kaluza-Klein techniques
By applying an inverse Kaluza-Klein procedure, we provide explicit coordinate expressions for Riemannian metrics on two homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic spheres in seven dimensions.

Curvature function and coarse graining [PDF]
A classic theorem in the theory of connections on principal fiber bundles states that the evaluation of all holonomy functions gives enough information to characterize the bundle structure (among those sharing the same structure group and base manifold ...

Criterion for connections on principal bundles over a pointed Riemann surface
We investigate connections, and more generally logarithmic connections, on holomorphic principal bundles over a compact connected Riemann surface.

Curvature-torsion quasitensor of Laptev fundamental-group connection
We consider a space with Laptev's fundamental group connection generalizing spaces with Cartan connections. Laptev structural equations are reduced to a simpler form.

Affine Connection Representation of Gauge Fields
There are two ways to unify gravitational field and gauge field. One is to represent gravitational field as principal bundle connection, and the other is to represent gauge field as affine connection.

Logarithmic connections on principal bundles over a Riemann surface [PDF]
Let [Formula: see text] be a holomorphic principal [Formula: see text]-bundle on a compact connected Riemann surface [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group. Fix a finite subset [Formula: see text], and for each [Formula: see text] fix [Formula: see text].

Differential geometry of collective models
The classical astrophysical theory of Riemann ellipsoids and the quantum nuclear theory of Bohr and Mottelson share a common mathematical foundation in terms of the differential geometry of a principal bundle ${\cal P}$ and its associated vector bundle E,

Non-abelian higher gauge theory and categorical bundle
A gauge theory is associated with a principal bundle endowed with a connection permitting to define horizontal lifts of paths. The horizontal lifts of surfaces cannot be defined into a principal bundle structure.
