Fields and connections in a fiber bundle over spacetime arising from the reduction of the multidimensional linear connection (Q1819760)

One of the developments in the field theory for multidimensional space is the study of models on a manifold S, where a compact Lie group G acts with a single orbit-type G/H, H being a closed subgroup of G. The orbit space S/G is identified with the four-dimensional spacetime M, and the gauge group with the group \(K=N/H\) (N is the normalizer of H in G), which is the group of automorphisms of G/H via its canonical right action. Every G-invariant connection in the fiber bundle \(S=G/H\times_ KS_ 0\) \((S_ 0\subset S\) consists of the H-invariant points and is a principal K-bundle over M) allows one to associate with the bundle of linear frames over S a principal bundle \(F_ 0\) with base M, isomorphic to the fibered product \(S_ 0\times_ MF(M)\), where F(M) is the bundle of linear frames over M. One finds that each G-invariant linear connection on S admits a dimensional reduction in the sense that it corresponds uniquely to (i) a \(K\times GL(\dim M,R)\) connection in the principal bundle \(F_ 0\), (ii) a vector field on M, i.e. a one-form on M with values in a vector bundle over M, and (iii) a scalar field on M, i.e. a cross-section of a vector bundle over M associated to \(F_ 0\).
