Abstract: We prove that structured vector bundles whose holonomies lie in GL(N,C), SO(N,C), or Sp(2N,C) have structured inverses. This generalizes a theorem of Simons and Sullivan.

Review text

A vector bundle with connection is called structured if it is accompagnied with an isomorphism class of vanishing the functorial Chern-Simon class \(\mathrm{CS}(\nabla_1,\nabla_2)\) (Definitions 2.1, 2.2). Denote \(T_G\) the free group of structured vector bundle, the holonomy of which are in \(G\) and the differential \(K\)-theory group \(\tilde{K}^0(X)= T_G/\{\langle V,\nabla_V\rangle + \langle W,\nabla_W\rangle - \langle V\oplus W, \nabla_V \oplus \nabla_W\rangle\}\) of a manifold \(X\) (see Lemma 3.3) is the Grothendieck group of vector bundles with connection (Definition 2.3). \textit{J. Simons} and \textit{D. Sullivan} [Clay Math. Proc. 11, 579--599 (2010; Zbl 1216.19009)] proved the existence of stable inverses of hermitian structured vector bundles (i.e. with respect to the unitary group \(G= \mathrm{U}(N)\)). In the paper under reviewing the same result is proven for the group \(G = \mathrm{GL}(N,\mathbb C), \mathrm{SO}(N,\mathbb C)\) or \(\mathrm{Sp}(2N,\mathbb C)\).
