On Transgression in Associated Bundles
We formulate and prove a formula for transgressing characteristic forms in general associated bundles following a method of Chern [Che91]. As applications, we derive D. Johnson’s explicit formula in [Joh07] for such general transgression and Chern’s first transgression formula in [Che45] for the Euler class.
متن کاملConditions for Nonnegative Curvature on Vector Bundles and Sphere Bundles
This paper addresses Cheeger and Gromoll’s question of which vector bundles admit a complete metric of nonnegative curvature, and relates their question to the issue of which sphere bundles admit a metric of positive curvature. We show that any vector bundle which admits a metric of nonnegative curvature must admit a connection, a tensor, and a metric on the base space which together satisfy a ...
متن کاملNew structures on the tangent bundles and tangent sphere bundles
In this paper we study a Riemanian metric on the tangent bundle T (M) of a Riemannian manifold M which generalizes Sasaki metric and Cheeger Gromoll metric and a compatible almost complex structure which together with the metric confers to T (M) a structure of locally conformal almost Kählerian manifold. This is the natural generalization of the well known almost Kählerian structure on T (M). W...
متن کاملQuantum line bundles on noncommutative sphere
Noncommutative (NC) sphere is introduced as a quotient of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra su(2). Following [GS] and using the Cayley-Hamilton identities we introduce projective modules which are analogues of line bundles on the usual sphere (we call them quantum line bundles) and define a multiplicative structure in their family. Also, we compute a pairing between quantum line bundles...
متن کاملManifolds Homeomorphic to Sphere Bundles over Spheres
1. Statement of results. Let E be the total space of a fe-sphere bundle over the w-sphere with characteristic class a 6 i „ i (SOk+i). We consider the problem of classifying, under the relation of orientation preserving diffeomorphism, all differential structures on E. It is assumed that E is simply connected, of dimension greater than five, and its characteristic class a may be pulled back to ...
