Principal Bundles and the Dixmier Douady Class
A systematic consideration of the problem of the reduction and extension of the structure group of a principal bundle is made and a variety of techniques in each case are explored and related to one another. We apply these to the study of the DixmierDouady class in various contexts including string structures, Ures bundles and other examples motivated by considerations from quantum field theory.
متن کاملEquivariant Dixmier-Douady Classes
An equivariant bundle gerbe à la Meinrenken over a G-manifold M is known to be a special type of S-gerbe over the differentiable stack [M/G]. We prove that the natural morphism relating the Cartan and simplicial models of equivariant cohomology in degree 3 maps the Dixmier-Douady class of an equivariant bundle gerbe à la Meinrenken to the Behrend-Xu-Dixmier-Douady class of the corresponding S-g...
متن کاملBundles of C*-categories, II: C*-dynamical systems and Dixmier-Douady invariants
We introduce a cohomological invariant arising from a class in nonabelian cohomology. This invariant generalizes the Dixmier-Douady class and encodes the obstruction to a C*-algebra bundle being the fixed-point algebra of a gauge action. As an application, the duality breaking for group bundles vs. tensor C*-categories with non-simple unit is discussed in the setting of Nistor-Troitsky gauge-eq...
متن کاملAn index for gauge-invariant operators and the Dixmier-Douady invariant
Let G → B be a bundle of compact Lie groups acting on a fiber bundle Y → B. In this paper we introduce and study gauge-equivariant K-theory groups K G(Y ). These groups satisfy the usual properties of the equivariant K-theory groups, but also some new phenomena arise due to the topological non-triviality of the bundle G → B. As an application, we define a gauge-equivariant index for a family of...
متن کاملBundle gerbes
Just asC principal bundles provide a geometric realisation of two-dimensional integral cohomology; gerbes or sheaves of groupoids, provide a geometric realisation of three dimensional integral cohomology through their Dixmier-Douady class. I consider an alternative, related, geometric realisation of three dimensional cohomology called a bundle gerbe. Every bundle gerbe gives rise to a gerbe and...
