AbstractFor a 2-category 2C we associate a notion of a principal 2C-bundle. For the 2-category of 2-vector spaces, in the sense of M.M. Kapranov and V.A. Voevodsky, this gives the 2-vector bundles of N.A. Baas, B.I. Dundas and J. Rognes. Our main result says that the geometric nerve of a good 2-category is a classifying space for the associated principal 2-bundles. In the process of proving this we develop powerful machinery which may be useful in further studies of 2-categorical topology. As a corollary we get a new proof of the classification of principal bundles. Another 2-category of 2-vector spaces has been proposed by J.C. Baez and A.S. Crans. A calculation using our main theorem shows that in this case the theory of principal 2-bundles splits, up to concordance, as two copies of ordinary vector bundle theory. When 2C is a cobordism type 2-category we get a new notion of cobordism-bundles which turns out to be classified by the Madsen–Weiss spaces.

Abstract We investigate connections, and more generally logarithmic connections, on holomorphic principal bundles over a compact connected Riemann surface.

We outline how Drinfeld twist deformation techniques can be applied to the deformation quantization of principal bundles into noncommutative principal bundles and, more in general, to the deformation of Hopf–Galois extensions. First, we twist deform the structure group in a quantum group, and this leads to a deformation of the fibers of the principal bundle. Next, we twist deform a subgroup of the group of automorphisms of the principal bundle, and this leads to a noncommutative base space. Considering both deformations, we obtain noncommutative principal bundles with noncommutative fiber and base space as well.

We semiclassicalise the theory of quantum group principal bundles to the level of Poisson geometry. The total space X is a Poisson manifold with Poisson-compatible contravariant connection, the fibre is a Poisson-Lie group in the sense of Drinfeld with bicovariant Poisson-compatible contravariant connection, and the base has an inherited Poisson structure and Poisson-compatible contravariant connection. The latter are known to be the semiclassical data for a quantum differential calculus. The theory is illustrated by the Poisson level of the q-Hopf fibration on the standard q-sphere. We also construct the Poisson level of the spin connection on a principal bundle.
