Affine gauge theory is classical gauge theory where gauge fields are affine connections on the tangent bundle over a smooth manifold . For instance, these are gauge theory of dislocations in continuous media when , the generalization of metric-affine gravitation theory when is a world manifold and, in particular, gauge theory of the fifth force. ==Affine tangent bundle== Being a vector bundle, the tangent bundle of an -dimensional manifold admits a natural structure of an affine bundle , called the ''affine tangent bundle'', possessing bundle atlases with affine transition functions. It is associated to a principal bundle of affine frames in tangent space over , whose structure group is a general affine group . The tangent bundle is associated to a principal linear frame bundle , whose structure group is a general linear group . This is a subgroup of so that the latter is a semidirect product of and a group of translations. There is the canonical imbedding of to onto a reduced principal subbundle which corresponds to the canonical structure of a vector bundle as the affine one. Given linear bundle coordinates : on the tangent bundle , the affine tangent bundle can be provided with affine bundle coordinates : and, in particular, with the linear coordinates (1). 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「Affine gauge theory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
