MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Connections on locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundles

Dirk Calow and Rainer Matthes

Abstract

Budzynski and Kondracki have introduced a notion of locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundle making use of an algebraic notion of covering, which allows a reconstruction of the bundle from local pieces. Following this approach, we construct covariant differential algebras and connections on locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundles by gluing together such locally given geometric objects. We also consider covariant derivatives, connection forms, curvatures and curvature forms and explore the relations between these notions. As an example, a U(1) quantum principal bundle over a glued quantum sphere as well as a connection in this bundle is constructed. The connection may be considered as a q-deformed Dirac monopole.
