Basic gerbe over non simply connected compact groups
We present an explicit construction of the basic bundle gerbes with connection over all connected compact simple Lie groups. These are geometric objects that appear naturally in the Lagrangian approach to the WZW conformal field theories. Our work extends the recent construction of E. Meinrenken [9] restricted to the case of simply connected groups.
متن کاملMean eigenvalues for simple, simply connected, compact Lie groups
We determine for each of the simple, simply connected, compact and complex Lie groups SU(n), Spin(4n+2) and E6 that particular region inside the unit disk in the complex plane which is filled by their mean eigenvalues. We give analytical parameterizations for the boundary curves of these so-called trace figures. The area enclosed by a trace figure turns out to be a rational multiple of π in eac...
متن کاملThe Basic Bundle Gerbe on Unitary Groups
We consider the construction of the basic bundle gerbe on SU(n) introduced by Meinrenken and show that it extends to a range of groups with unitary actions on a Hilbert space including U(n), Tn and Up(H), the Banach Lie group of unitaries differing from the identity by an element of a Schatten ideal. In all these cases we give an explicit connection and curving on the basic bundle gerbe and cal...
متن کاملSymmetry Groups of Non-simply Connected Four-manifolds
LetM be a closed, connected, orientable topological four-manifold with H1(M) nontrivial and free abelian, b2(M) 6= 0, 2, and χ(M) 6= 0. Then the only finite groups which admit homologically trivial, locally linear, effective actions on M are cyclic. The proof uses equivariant cohomology, localization, and a careful study of the first cohomology groups of the (potential) singular set.
متن کاملString Junctions and Non-simply Connected Gauge Groups
Relations between the global structure of the gauge group in elliptic F-theory compactifications, fractional null string junctions, and the Mordell-Weil lattice of rational sections are discussed. We extend results in the literature, which pertain primarily to rational elliptic surfaces and obtain π(G̃) where G̃ is the semi-simple part of the gauge group. We show how to obtain the full global str...
