Curvature in Synthetic Differential Geometry of Groupoids
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the fundamental properties of curvature in groupoids within the framework of synthetic differential geometry. As is usual in synthetic differential geometry, its combinatorial nature is emphasized. In particular, the classical Bianchi identity is deduced from its combinatorial one.

D ec 2 00 6 The Lie Algebra of the Group of Bisections ⊳ A Chapter in Synthetic Differential Geometry of Groupoids ⊲
Groupoids provide a more appropriate framework for differential geometry than principal bundles. Synthetic differential geometry is the avantgarde branch of differential geometry, in which nilpotent infinitesimals are available in abundance. The principal objective in this paper is to show within our favorite framework of synthetic differential geometry that the tangent space of the group of bi...
متن کاملConnected Lie Groupoids are Internally Connected and Integral Complete in Synthetic Differential Geometry
We extend some fundamental definitions and constructions in the established generalisation of Lie theory involving Lie groupoids by reformulating them in terms of groupoids internal to a well-adapted model of synthetic differential geometry. In particular we define internal counterparts of the definitions of source path and source simply connected groupoid and the integration of A-paths. The ma...
متن کاملPrincipal Bundles, Groupoids, and Connections
We clarify in which precise sense the theory of principal bundles and the theory of groupoids are equivalent; and how this equivalence of theories, in the differentiable case, reflects itself in the theory of connections. The method used is that of synthetic differential geometry. Introduction. In this note, we make explicit a sense in which the theory of principal fibre bundles is equivalent t...
متن کاملExtension Theory for Local Groupoids
We intend to provide an algebraic framework in which some of the algebraic theory of connections become identical to some of the (Eilenberg Mac Lane) theory of extensions of non-abelian groups. In particular, the Bianchi identity for the curvature of a connection is related to one of the crucial equations in extension theory. The Bianchi identity as a purely combinatorial fact was dealt with in...
متن کاملSynthetic Geometry and Generalised Functions
We review some aspects of the geometry of length spaces and metric spaces, in particular Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below and/or above. We then point out some possible directions of research to explore connections between the synthetic approach to Riemannian geometry and some aspects of the approach to non-smooth differential geometry through generalised functions.
