Tg–equivariance of Connections and Gauge Transformations
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the notion of a connection on a principal bundle P (M, G) from the point of view of the action of the tangential group TG. This leads to a new definition of a connection and allows to interpret gauge transformations as effect of the TG action.

Gauge transformations on locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundles
We consider in this paper gauge transformations on locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundles (QPFB). If P , B, H , are the algebras of the total space, the base space, the structure group of the bundle, left (right) gauge transformations are defined as automorphisms of the left (right) B-module P which are adapted to the coaction of the Hopf algebra H and to the covering related to the lo...
متن کاملDiffeomorphism-invariant Generalized Measures On the Space of Connections Modulo Gauge Transformations
The notion of a measure on the space of connections modulo gauge transformations that is invariant under diffeomorphisms of the base manifold is important in a variety of contexts in mathematical physics and topology. At the formal level, an example of such a measure is given by the Chern-Simons path integral. Certain measures of this sort also play the role of states in quantum gravity in Asht...
متن کاملConstruction of Generalized Connections
We present a construction method for mappings between generalized connections, comprising, e.g., the action of gauge transformations, diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. Moreover, criteria for continuity and measure preservation are stated.
متن کاملPrequantization of the moduli space of flat connections over a four-manifold
We introduce a symplectic structure on the space of connections in a G-principal bundle over a four-manifold and the Hamiltonian action on it of the group of gauge transformations which are trivial on the boundary. The symplectic reduction becomes the moduli space of flat connections over the manifold. On the moduli space of flat connections we shall construct a hermitian line bundle with conne...
متن کاملGauge Field Theory in terms of complex Hamilton Geometry
On the total space of a G−complex vector bundle E is defined the gauge transformations. A gauge complex invariant Lagrangian determines a special complex nonlinear connection for which the associated Chern-Lagrange and Bott complex connections are gauge invariant. The complex field equations are determined with respect to these associated gauge complex connections. By complex Legendre transform...
