چکیده
We consider the notion of stable isomorphism of bundle gerbes. It has the consequence that the stable isomorphism classes of bundle gerbes over a manifold M are in bijective correspondence with H3(M, Z). Stable isomorphism sheds light on the local theory of bundle gerbes and enables us to develop a classifying theory for bundle gerbes using results of Gajer on BC× bundles. AMS Classification scheme numbers: 55R65, 55R35

متن کاملGerbes and time-reversal-invariant topological insulators
Definition. A bundle gerbe G with unitary connection (below, gerbe for short) over manifold M is a triple (Y,B,L) s.t. Y is a manifold equipped with a surjective submersion π : Y →M B is a 2-form on Y L is a line bundle (always with hermitian structure and unitary connection) over Y [2] ≡ Y ×M Y p1 −→ −→ p2 Y with the curvature p2B − p1B L comes with a groupoid multiplication L(y1,y2) × L(y2,y3...
متن کاملThe Universal Gerbe and Local Family Index Theory
The goal of this paper is to apply the universal gerbe developed in [CMi1] and [CMi2] and the local family index theorems to give a unified viewpoint on the known examples of geometrically interesting gerbes, including the determinant bundle gerbes in [CMMi1], the index gerbe in [L] for a family of Dirac operators on odd dimensional closed manifolds. We also discuss the associated gerbes for a ...
متن کاملOn the Relationship of Gerbes to the Odd Families Index Theorem
The goal of this paper is to apply the universal gerbe of [CMi1] and [CMi2] to give an alternative, simple and more unified view of the relationship between index theory and gerbes. We discuss determinant bundle gerbes [CMMi1] and the index gerbe of [L] for the case of families of Dirac operators on odd dimensional closed manifolds. The method also works for a family of Dirac operators on odd d...
متن کاملConstructions with Bundle Gerbes
This thesis develops the theory of bundle gerbes and examines a number of useful constructions in this theory. These allow us to gain a greater insight into the structure of bundle gerbes and related objects. Furthermore they naturally lead to some interesting applications in physics.
