Continuous vector bundles over topological algebras. II (Q1316616)

Continuing part I [ibid. 113, 245-254 (1986; Zbl 0659.46064)] the author seeks further analogues of the theory of \(\mathbb{A}\)-vector bundles with standard differential geometric techniques. He states in the introduction: ``Now to be more specific concerning the present account, we deal in the sequel first with the classification of \(\mathbb{A}\)-vector bundles via cohomological methods; in this regard, we apply sheaf theoretic techniques according to the classical pattern (see Section 1), thus supplementing a relevant previous result in part I. Second, based on the same sheaf theory methods (see Section 2), we define ``flat'' \(\mathbb{A}\)-vector bundles over a given topological space \(X\) and deduce some of their most basic features; the latter are in agreement, generally, with analogous ones of the classical cases. As we remarked at the outset, this eventual conflict with the classical situation here reflects the presence of the topological algebra \(\mathbb{A}\) which constitutes, so to speak, a natural ``perturbation'' of the classical domain of coefficients of the vector bundles under consideration. In an Appendix we supplement and amend some previous thoughts in part I by also considering an application, the Grothendieck ring of representations of a given group \(G\). Concerning this point of view, however, we intend to return elsewhere''.
