Structured Vector Bundles Define Differential K-Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A equivalence relation, preserving the Chern-Weil form, is defined between connections on a complex vector bundle. Bundles equipped with such an equivalence class are called Structured Bundles, and their isomorphism classes form an abelian semi-ring. By applying the Grothedieck construction one obtains the ring K̂, elements of which, modulo a complex torus of dimension the sum of the odd Betti numbers of the base, are uniquely determined by the corresponding element of ordinary K and the Chern-Weil form. This construction provides a simple model of differential K-theory, c.f. Hopkins-Singer (2005), as well as a useful codification of vector bundles with connection.

Yet Another Application of the Theory of ODE in the Theory of Vector Fields
In this paper we are supposed to define the θ−vector field on the n−surface S and then investigate about the existence and uniqueness of its integral curves by the Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations. Then thesubject is followed through some examples.
متن کاملTwisted bundles and twisted K-theory
Many papers have been devoted recently to twisted K-theory as originally defined in [15] and [29]. See for instance the references [2], [23] and the very accessible paper [30]. We offer here a more direct approach based on the notion of “twisted vector bundles”. This is not an entirely new idea, since we find it in [4], [6], [7], [8] and [9] for instance, under different names and from various ...
متن کاملDifferentiation along Multivector Fields
The Lie derivation of multivector fields along multivector fields has been introduced by Schouten (see cite{Sc, S}), and studdied for example in cite{M} and cite{I}. In the present paper we define the Lie derivation of differential forms along multivector fields, and we extend this concept to covariant derivation on tangent bundles and vector bundles, and find natural relations between them and...
متن کاملElliptic Involutive Structures and Generalized Higgs Algebroids
ELLIPTIC INVOLUTIVE STRUCTURES AND GENERALIZED HIGGS ALGEBROIDS Eric O. Korman Jonathan Block We study the module theory of two types of Lie algebroids: elliptic involutive structures (EIS) (which are equivalent to transversely holomorphic foliations) and what we call twisted generalized Higgs algebroids (TGHA). Generalizing the wellknown results in the extremal cases of flat vector bundles and...
متن کاملTwo-vector Bundles Define a Form of Elliptic Cohomology
We prove that for well-behaved small commutative rig categories (aka. symmetric bimoidal categories) R the algebraic K-theory space of the K-theory spectrum, HR, of R is equivalent to K0(π0R)× |BGL(R)| where GL(R) is the monoidal category of weakly invertible matrices over R. In particular, this proves the conjecture from [BDR] that K(ku) is the K-theory of the 2-category of complex 2-vector sp...
