Secondary Characteristic Classes of Lie Algebra Extensions
We introduce a notion of secondary characteristic classes of Lie algebra extensions. As a spin-off of our construction we obtain a new proof of Lecomte’s generalization of the Chern–Weil homomorphism.
متن کاملCohomology of Split Group Extensions and Characteristic Classes
There are characteristic classes that are the obstructions to the vanishing of the differentials in the Lyndon-Hochischild-Serre spectral sequence of an extension of an integral lattice L by a group G. These characteristic classes exist in the r-th page of the spectral sequence provided differentials di = 0 for all i < r. If L further decomposes into a sum of G-sublattice L = L ⊕ L, we show tha...
متن کاملGroupoid extensions, principal 2-group bundles and characteristic classes
We give an explicit description of a 1-1 correspondence between Morita equivalence classes of, on the one hand, principal 2-group [G → Aut(G)]bundles over Lie groupoids (i.e. [G → Aut(G)]-bundles over differentiable stacks) and, on the other hand, centralG-extensions of Lie groupoids (i.e. Ggerbes over differentiable stacks). We also introduce universal characteristic classes for 2-group bundle...
متن کاملExercises on characteristic classes
1. a) Compute the Stiefel-Whitney classes of the tangent bundle of RP . (Use the method from class for the tangent Chern classes of complex projectives spaces.) b) Conclude that if the tangent bundle is trivial, then n = 2 − 1 for some m. (In fact n must be 0, 1, 3, 7, but this is much harder to prove; one proof uses the Bott periodicity theorem.) c) Deduce (very easily!) a complete characteriz...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes on Grassmann Manifolds
In this paper, we use characteristic classes of the canonical vector bundles and the Poincaré dualality to study the structure of the real homology and cohomology groups of oriented Grassmann manifold G(k, n). Show that for k = 2 or n ≤ 8, the cohomology groups H∗(G(k, n),R) are generated by the first Pontrjagin class, the Euler classes of the canonical vector bundles. In these cases, the Poinc...
