I'm not sure whether the level of this question is suitable for Mathoverflow. Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, $E$ and $F$ are finite dimensional (smooth) vector bundles on $M$. Let $\phi: E\rightarrow …

The tangent groupoid can be used in constructing the index map and proving the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. This may illustrate its importance. Higson and Roe will write a book on it.

First let us consider a Riemannian fiber bundle, i.e a fiber bundle $\pi: M\to B$ of oriented Riemannian manifolds. We denote by $T(M/B)$ the bundle of vertical tangent vectors and assume that the bun …

Let $(X, g)$ be a smooth, oriented, Riemannian 4-diemnsional manifold. Let $\Lambda^2$ denote the bundle of 2-forms on $X$. Then the Hodge-star operator decomposes $\Lambda^2$ into the space of self-d …

There is a natural fraction linear transform of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ on $\mathbb{C}P^1$ given by: $$ \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \cdot[z,w]=[az+bw,cz+dw]. $$ Let $\mathbb{Z}/2=\{ 1,s \ …

I know it is easy to classify line bundles over $\mathbb{R}P^2$. But do we have a classification of two dimensional complex vector bundles over $\mathbb{R}P^2$?

Let $E$ be an $n$-dimensional vector bundle on a manifold $M$ and $\nabla: \Gamma(E)\to \Omega^1(M,E)$ be a flat connection on $E$. Classical Riemann-Hilbert correspondence tells us that ker$\nabla$ i …

Let $E$ be a vector bundle on a smooth manifold $X$ and $\nabla$ be a connection on $E$, by Chern-Weil theory, the Chern character of $(E,\nabla)$ could be construct as $$ ch(E,\nabla):=tr(\exp(-\nab …

Let $\pi: M\to B$ be a fiber bundle of smooth manifolds with $B$ connected and each fiber of $\pi$ is a compact manifold. Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting smoothly on $M$ such that $\pi(g\cdot m) …

I am reading Donaldson and Kronheimer's book The Geometry of Four-Manifolds. In page 48, I found Theorem 2.2.1: Let $H$ be the hypercube $H=\{\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^d|~|x_i|<1\}$. If $E$ is a bundle …

Let $(X, g)$ be a smooth, oriented, Riemannian 4-diemnsional manifold. Let $\Lambda^2$ denote the bundle of 2-forms on $X$. Then the Hodge-star operator decomposes $\Lambda^2$ into the space of self-d …

Let X be a complex manifold and $TX$ its tangent bundle. The Atiyah class $\alpha(E)\in \text{Ext}^1(E\otimes TX, E)$ for a vector bundle $E$ is defined to be the obstruction of the global existence o …

I'm sorry for the self-citation. But your question is largely answered in the monograph Coherent Sheaves, Superconnections, and Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck, or the arxiv version, joint work of Jean-Mich …

In the book "Heat Kernels and Dirac Operators" by Berline, Getzler and Vergne it is said that "Our book is based on a simple principle, which we learned from D. Quillen: Dirac operators are a quantiza …

This question is mainly about Section 5.2 of the book "Heat Kernels and Dirac Operators" by Berline, Getzler and Vergne. Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $P\rightarrow M$ …
