On Transgression in Associated Bundles
نویسنده
چکیده
We formulate and prove a formula for transgressing characteristic forms in general associated bundles following a method of Chern [Che91]. As applications, we derive D. Johnson’s explicit formula in [Joh07] for such general transgression and Chern’s first transgression formula in [Che45] for the Euler class.

Transgression on Hyperkähler Manifolds and Generalized Higher Torsion Forms
Transgression of the characteristic classes taking values in the differential forms is a reach source of the interesting algebraic objects. The examples include Chern-Simons and Bott-Chern forms which are given by the transgression of the Chern character form. Chern-Simons forms are defined for a vector bundle over an arbitrary real manifold and are connected with the representation of combinat...
متن کاملEta-invariants, torsion forms and flat vector bundles
We present a new proof, as well as a C/Q extension, of the RiemannRoch-Grothendieck theorem of Bismut-Lott for flat vector bundles. The main techniques used are the computations of the adiabatic limits of ηinvariants associated to the so-called sub-signature operators. We further show that the Bismut-Lott analytic torsion form can be derived naturally from the transgression of the η-forms appea...
متن کاملHarmonic Twistor Formalism and Transgression on Hyperkähler Manifolds
In this paper we continue our study of the transgression of characteristic classes of hyperholo-morphic bundles on hyperkähler manifolds [2]. In the previous paper the global construction for the fourth order transgression of the Chern character form on a compact hyperkähler manifold was proposed. In addition, the explicit expression for the transgression of the Chern character arising in the a...
متن کاملElliptic Genera, Transgression and Loop Space Chern-simons Forms
We compute the Chern-Simons transgressed forms of some modularly invariant characteristic forms, which are related to the elliptic genera. We study the modularity properties of these secondary characteristic forms and the relations among them. We also compute the Chern-Simons forms of some vector bundles over free loop space.
متن کاملPublished vs. Postgraduate Writing in Applied Linguistics: The Case of Lexical Bundles
Abstract: Lexical bundles, as building blocks of coherent discourse, have been the subject of much research in the last two decades. While many of such studies have been mainly concerned with exploring variations in the use of these word sequences across different registers and disciplines, very few have addressed the use of some particular groups of lexical bundles within some gen...
