In mathematics, an adjoint bundle 〔 (page 96 )〕 〔 page 161 and page 400 〕 is a vector bundle naturally associated to any principal bundle. The fibers of the adjoint bundle carry a Lie algebra structure making the adjoint bundle into a (nonassociative) algebra bundle. Adjoint bundles have important applications in the theory of connections as well as in gauge theory. ==Formal definition== Let ''G'' be a Lie group with Lie algebra , and let ''P'' be a principal ''G''-bundle over a smooth manifold ''M''. Let : be the adjoint representation of ''G''. The adjoint bundle of ''P'' is the associated bundle : for all ''g'' ∈ ''G''. Since the structure group of the adjoint bundle consists of Lie algebra automorphisms, the fibers naturally carry a Lie algebra structure making the adjoint bundle into a bundle of Lie algebras over ''M''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adjoint bundle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
