We discuss some recent developments that illustrate the interplay between the theory of crossed products of continuous trace C*-algebras and algebraic topology, summarizing results relating topological invariants coming from the theory of fiber bundles to continuous trace C*-algebras and their automorphism groups and the structure of the associated crossed product C*-algebras. This survey article starts from the classical theory of Dixmier, Douady, and Fell, and discusses the more recent work of Echterhoff, Phillips, Raeburn, Rosenberg, and Williams, among others. The topological invariants involved are Čech cohomology, the cohomology of locally compact groups with Borel cochains of C. Moore, and the recently introduced equivariant cohomology theory of Crocker, Kumjian, Raeburn and Williams.

Connection 1-forms on principal fiber bundles with arbitrary structure groups are considered, and a characterization of gauge-equivalent connections in terms of their associated holonomy groups is given. These results are then applied to invariant connections in the case where the symmetry group acts transitively on fibers, and both local and global conditions are derived which lead to an algebraic procedure for classifying orbits in the moduli space of these connections. As an application of the developed techniques, explicit solutions for SU (2) × SU (2)-symmetric connections over S2 × S2, with SU(2) structure group, are derived and classified into non-gauge-related families, and multi-instanton solutions are identified.

In Introduction In differential geometry of linear connections, A. Nijenhuis has introduced the concepts of local holonomy group and infinitesimal holonomy group and obtained many interesting results [6].The purpose of the present note is to generalize his results to the case of connections in arbitrary principal fiber bundles with Lie structure groups. The concept of local holonomy group can be immediately generalized and has been already utilized by S. Kobayashi [4]. Our main results are Theorems 4 and 5 on infinitesimal holonomy groups. The proofs depend on a little sharpened form of a theorem of Ambrose-Singer [1]. In the case of linear connections, our infinitesimal holonomy group coincides with that of Nijenhuis, as we shall show in Section 6.

We study the Yang–Mills functional for principal fiber bundles with structure group a compact Lie group K over a Kähler manifold. In particular, we analyze the absolute minimizers for this functional and prove that they are exactly the Einstein K-connections. By means of the structure of the Yang–Mills functional at an absolute minimum, we prove that the characteristic classes of a principal K-bundle which admits an Einstein connection satisfy two inequalities. One of them is a generalization of the Bogomolov inequality whereas the other is an inequality related to the center of the structure group. Therefore, this way we offer a new and natural proof of the Bogomolov inequality that helps understanding its origin. Finally, in view of the Hitchin–Kobayashi correspondence we prove that every (poly-)stable principal Kℂ-bundle has to satisfy this generalized Bogomolov type inequality.

The hypercentered planes family, whose dimension coincides with dimension of generating plane, is considered in the projective space. Two principal fiber bundles arise over it. Typical fiber for one of them is the stationarity subgroup for hypercentered plane, for other — the linear group operating in each tangent space to the manifold. The latter bundle is called the principal bundle of linear coframes. The structural forms of two bundles are related by equations. It is proved that hypercentered planes family is a holonomic smooth manifold. In the principal bundle of linear coframes the coaffine connection is given. From the differential equations it follows that the coaffine connec­tion object forms quasipseudotensor. It is proved that the curvature and torsion objects for the coaffine connection in the linear coframes bundle form pseudotensors.
