A Cubical Set Approach to 2-Bundles with Connection and Wilson Surfaces

چکیده
In the context of non-abelian gerbes we define a cubical version of categorical group 2-bundles with connection over a smooth manifold and consider their two-dimensional parallel transport with the aim of defining non-abelian Wilson surface functionals.

متن کامل$PI$-extending modules via nontrivial complex bundles and Abelian endomorphism rings
A module is said to be $PI$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. In this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $PI$-extending modules. To this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...
متن کاملPERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES INCORPORATING SEISMIC DEMAND AND CONNECTION PARAMETERS UNCERTAINTIES
One of the most important problems discussed recently in structural engineering is the structural reliability analysis considering uncertainties. To have an efficient optimization process for designing a safe structure, firstly it is required to study the effects of uncertainties on the seismic performance of structure and then incorporate these effects on the optimization process. In this stud...
متن کاملComparing Lexical Bundles in Hard Science Lectures; A Case of Native and Non-Native University Lecturers
Researchers stated that learning and applying certain set of lexical bundles of native lecturers by non-native lecturers would help students improve their proficiency through incidental vocabulary input. The present study shed light on the lexical bundles in hard science lectures used by Native and Non-native lecturers in international universities with the main purpose of analyzing the structu...
متن کاملJames Bundles and Applications
SUMMARY We study cubical sets without degeneracies, which we call {sets. These sets arise naturally in a number of settings and there is a beautiful geometry associated with them; in particular a {set C has an innnite family of associated {sets J i (C), i = 1; 2; : : :, which we call James complexes. There are projections p i : jJ i (C)j ! jCj which are mock bundle projections. These deene clas...
