Flat Maurer-Cartan connection iff flat Berry connection
I am studying two connections on induced representation spaces $\text{Ind}_{H}^{G} \Gamma$, where $H \subseteq G$ are groups, and $\Gamma$ is an irrep of $H$.
The first is the canonical or $H$-...

What exactly is a Cartan radius vector (and its role in Poincaré gauge theories)
I am studying approaches to gravity where the Poincaré group is "gauged". The original motivation of this is to understand what is meant on the statement that "Teleparallel gravity is a gauge theory ...

Transferring connection information to associated bundles and back
This might not be research level but I've tried more than once to ask about this in MSE and it got nowhere. So I thought It's fair to at least try.
At the risk of repeating well known stuff I tried ...

When is the action of the gauge group on the space of connections free?
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the space of connections on the principal trivial $G$-bundle $G\times \mathbb{R}^4$ possibly with some growth condition (to specify it is a part of ...

Covariant momenta associated to higher order Lagrangians
Let $\pi:Y\rightarrow X$ be a fibered manifold with fibered coordinates $(U,x^i,y^\rho)$ (whenever local calculations are needed) and $m$ dimensional base $X$ ($\dim X=m$).
Suppose that $L\in\Omega^m_{...

Solving equations of motion of holomorphic BF theory - pure gauge in complex coordinates
In this paper by Bailieu and Tanzini, aspects of holomorphic BF theory are presented.
Holomorphic BF theory on a four dimensional Kahler manifold is discussed from page 5, and on page 8 the ...
