Faddeev's Anomaly and Bundle Gerbes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that transgression of the Dixmier-Douady class coming from the natural gerbe arising in the discussion of Faddeev's anomaly is the Faddeev-Mickelsson two cocycle.

A ug 1 99 9 Bundle gerbes : stable isomorphism and local theory
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 sc...
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.
متن کاملBundle gerbes
Just asC principal bundles provide a geometric realisation of two-dimensional integral cohomology; gerbes or sheaves of groupoids, provide a geometric realisation of three dimensional integral cohomology through their Dixmier-Douady class. I consider an alternative, related, geometric realisation of three dimensional cohomology called a bundle gerbe. Every bundle gerbe gives rise to a gerbe and...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Bundle Gerbes

متن کاملThe Geometry of Bundle Gerbes
This thesis reviews the theory of bundle gerbes and then examines the higher dimensional notion of a bundle 2-gerbe. The notion of a bundle 2-gerbe connection and 2-curving are introduced and it is shown that there is a class in H(M ;Z) associated to any bundle 2-gerbe.
