Radiance obstructions for smooth manifolds over Weil algebras (Q881226): Difference between revisions

A finite-dimensional commutative associative \(\mathbb R\)-algebra \(\mathbb A\) with unity is a Weil algebra if its radical \(\overset {_{\circ}}{\mathbb A}\) is the only maximal ideal and the quotient algebra \(\mathbb A/\overset {_{\circ}}{\mathbb A}\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb R\). In this paper, the author defines a manifold \(M^{\mathbb A}_ n\) formed from the atlas of \(M\) by means of \(\mathbb A\)-diffeomorphisms between open subsets of modules \(\mathbb A^ n\) and constructs cohomology classes with coefficients in some bundles associated to \(M^{\mathbb A}_ n\) which form obstructions for the existence of a bundle structure on \(M^{\mathbb A}_ n\to M\). If \(M^{\mathbb A}_ n\) is complete, the constructed classes are trivial if and only if \(M^{\mathbb A}_ n\) is isomorphic to the Weil bundle \(T^{\mathbb A}M\).
