Semistable and numerically effective principal (Higgs) bundles

We study Miyaoka-type semistability criteria for principal Higgs G-bundles E on complex projective manifolds of any dimension. We prove that E has the property of being semistable after pullback to any projective curve if and only if certain line bundles, obtained from some characters of the parabolic subgroups of G, are numerically effective. One also proves that these conditions are met for semistable principal Higgs bundles whose adjoint bundle has vanishing second Chern class.In a second part of the paper, we introduce notions of numerical effectiveness and numerical flatness for principal (Higgs) bundles, discussing their main properties. For (non-Higgs) principal bundles, we show that a numerically flat principal bundle admits a reduction to a Levi factor which has a flat Hermitian–Yang–Mills connection, and, as a consequence, that the cohomology ring of a numerically flat principal bundle with coefficients in R is trivial. To our knowledge this notion of numerical effectiveness is new even in the case of (non-Higgs) principal bundles.     

Moduli for principal bundles over algebraic curves: I

We classify principal bundles on a compact Riemann surface. A moduli space for semistable principal bundles with a reductive structure group is constructed using Mumford's geometric invarian theory.     

Local connection forms revisited

Local connection forms provide a very useful tool for handling connections on principal bundles, because, essentially, they involve only the adjoint representation and the left (logarithmic) differential of the structure group, thus overcoming any complexities of the total space. The main results here characterize connections related together by bundle morphisms. A few applications refer to connections on (Banach) associated bundles and connections on projective limit bundles (in the Fréchet framework). The role of local connection forms is further illustrated by their sheaf-theoretic globalization, resulting in a sheaf-theoretic approach to principal connections. The latter point of view is naturally leading to a theory of connections on abstract principal sheaves.     

Relative connections on principal bundles and relative equivariant structures

We investigate relative holomorphic connections on a principal bundle over a family of compact complex manifolds. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic principal bundle over a complex analytic family. We also introduce the notion of relative equivariant bundles and establish its relation with relative holomorphic connections on principal bundles.     

On a Type of Fréchet Principal Bundles over Banach Bases

In this paper we study a certain class of Fréchet principal bundles. Those which have structural groups obtained as projective limits of Banach Lie groups. In particular, we prove that each bundle of the previous type can be thought of as a projective limit of Banach principal bundles and any connection of them is a generalized limit of Banach connections. Using the previous, we achieve to translate in the Fréchet case basic geometric properties known so far only for Banach bundles.     

Subtleties concerning conformal tractor bundles

The realization of tractor bundles as associated bundles in conformal geometry is studied. It is shown that different natural choices of principal bundle with normal Cartan connection corresponding to a given conformal manifold can give rise to topologically distinct associated tractor bundles for the same inducing representation. Consequences for homogeneous models and conformal holonomy are described. A careful presentation is made of background material concerning standard tractor bundles and equivalence between parabolic geometries and underlying structures.     

Universal connections in Fréchet principal bundles

A new methodology leading to the construction of a universal connection for Fréchet principal bundles is proposed in this paper. The classical theory, applied successfully so far for finite dimensional and Banach modelled bundles, collapses within the framework of Fréchet manifolds. However, based on the replacement of the space of continuous linear mappings by an appropriate topological vector space, we endow the bundle J ¹ P of 1-jets of the sections of a Fréchet principal bundle P with a connection form by means of which we may “reproduce” every connection of P.      

Topological and analytical properties of Sobolev bundles,I: The critical case

We study the interrelationship between topological and analytical properties of Sobolev bundles and describe some of their applications to variational problems on principal bundles. We in particular show that the category of Sobolev principal G-bundles of class W ^2,m/2 defined over M ^m is equivalent to the category of smooth principal G-bundles on M and give a characterization of the weak sequential closure of smooth principal G-bundles with prescribed isomorphism class. We also prove a topological compactness result for minimizing sequences of a conformally invariant Yang-Mills functional.

Hamiltonian systems on complex Grassmann manifolds. Holonomy and Schrodinger equation

Differential geometric structures such as principal bundles for canonical vector bundles on complex Grassmann manifolds, canonical connection forms on these bundles, canonical symplectic forms on complex Grassmann manifolds, and the corresponding dynamical systems are investigated. Grassmann manifolds are considered as orbits of the co-adjoint action and symplectic forms are described as the restrictions of the canonical Poisson structure to Lie coalgebras. Holonomies of connections on principal bundles over Grassmannians and their relation with Berry phases is considered and investigated for integral curves of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 22, Algebra and Geometry, 2004.     

Geometric structures encoded in the lie structure of an Atiyah algebroid

We investigate Atiyah algebroids, i.e. the infinitesimal objects of principal bundles, from the viewpoint of the Lie algebraic approach to space. First we show that if the Lie algebras of smooth sections of two Atiyah algebroids are isomorphic, then the corresponding base manifolds are necessarily diffeomorphic. Further, we give two characterizations of the isomorphisms of the Lie algebras of sections for Atiyah algebroids associated to principal bundles with semisimple structure groups. For instance we prove that in the semisimple case the Lie algebras of sections are isomorphic if and only if the corresponding Lie algebroids are, or, as well, if and only if the integrating principal bundles are locally isomorphic. Finally, we apply these results to describe the isomorphisms of sections in the case of reductive structure groups—surprisingly enough they are no longer determined by vector bundle isomorphisms and involve dive rgences on the base manifolds.     

Global attractors in fiber bundles and right invariant systems

This article deals with the notions of Lyapunov stability and attraction of semiflows on fiber bundles. The focus of the studies is the question on the existence of global attractors in bundles associated to principal bundles. Applications to right invariant systems are presented.

PrincipalG-bundles on nodal curves

LetG be a connected semisimple affine algebraic group defined over C. We study the relation between stable, semistable G-bundles on a nodal curveY and representations of the fundamental group ofY. This study is done by extending the notion of (generalized) parabolic vector bundles to principal G-bundles on the desingularizationC ofY and using the correspondence between them and principal G-bundles onY. We give an isomorphism of the stack of generalized parabolic bundles onC with a quotient stack associated to loop groups. We show that if G is simple and simply connected then the Picard group of the stack of principal G-bundles onY is isomorphic to ⊕_m Z,m being the number of components ofY.     

Mukai-Sakai bound for equivariant principal bundles

Mukai and Sakai proved that given a vector bundleE of rankn on a connected smooth projective curve of genusg and anyr∈[1,n], there is subbundleS of rankr such that deg Hom(S, E/S)≤r(n−r)g. We prove a generalization of this bound for equivariant principal bundles. Our proof even simplifies the one given by Holla and Narasimhan for usual principal bundles.     

The existence of Cartan connections and geometrizable principle bundles

The aim of this article is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Cartan connections on principal bundles. For this purpose we recall the definition of abstract soldering forms and introduce the notion of geometrizable principle bundles.Received: 13 November 2003     

Monodromy for principal bundles

Given a strongly semistable principal bundle E_G over a curve, in Biswas et al. (2006) [4], a group-scheme for it was constructed, which was named as the monodromy group-scheme. Here we extend the construction of the monodromy group-scheme to principal bundles over higher dimensional varieties.     

Root stacks,principal bundles and connections

Tits' Constructions of Jordan Algebras and F4 Bundles on the Plane

In this paper, constructions of Jordan algebras over commutative rings are given which place, within a general set-up, the classical Tits constructions of exceptional central simple Jordan algebras over fields. These are used to exhibit nontrivial Jordan algebra bundles over the affine plane with a given exceptional Jordan division algebra over k as the fibre. The associated principal F₄ bundles are shown to admit no reduction of the structure group to any proper connected reductive subgroup.
